What Is VaST?
VaST
Visual & Somatic Therapy (VaST) is a relational,
body-centered approach to healing developed by Emily Waymire. It understands psychological suffering as lived experience—held in the nervous system, shaped in relationship, and informed by personal, cultural, and ancestral history.
VaST is grounded in mind–body unity. Sensation, posture, breath, image, and impulse carry meaning long before words form. Rather than eliminating symptoms, VaST approaches them as intelligent adaptations—responses shaped by what the body needed to survive.
Healing emerges through attuned presence, embodied awareness, and relational safety.
A Relational & Intergenerational Practice
Personalized Assessment
In VaST, the individual is never treated as isolated. Each person arrives with a relational field that includes attachment history, cultural context, and ancestral inheritance. Attention is given not only to what is spoken, but to how the nervous system organizes in relationship and how collective histories show up somatically.
Change happens where it lives:
in the body, in relationship, and in the present moment.
