Somacare™ for Cats

Body-Based Healing. Safety at the Center.

Somacare™ is a trauma-informed clinical model developed to care for the cat as a body—not just a coat. While traditional grooming is often structured around cosmetic outcome or surface-level hygiene, Somacare™ begins at the skin and moves inward, addressing tension, discomfort, and disconnection at the somatic root.

It’s not grooming. It’s not veterinary care.
It’s something else: a structured, non-sedated approach to restoring comfort, function, and trust through touch.

What Is Somacare™?

Somacare™ is a cat-centered system of clinical handling, body mapping, and trauma-informed care. Built from over 56,000 hands-on feline sessions, it’s designed for cats who show us something’s wrong—but can’t tell us how or where. From flattened posture to unpredictable reactions to grooming refusal, we translate those signals into a plan of care.

We don’t start with a haircut.
We start with the cat. And we listen with our hands.

When Is Somacare™ Right for My Cat?

Somacare™ is especially appropriate for cats who:

  •  

Have unresolved coat or comfort issues

Struggle with matting, oiliness, or “sudden aggression” during handling

Show signs of shutdown, flinching, or persistent stress

Have medical conditions that make sedation risky or inappropriate

Are aging, recovering, or post-trauma

It is also ideal for guardians who want clinical-grade care delivered in an emotionally attuned, non-veterinary setting.
