About Us

About Allie Greene Founder/Owner

Allie Greene, LSW, RSME/T, is a mental health therapist and somatic movement educator integrating body-based healing with evidence-informed psychotherapy. A former professional dancer and outreach artist, Allie brings over two decades of embodied practice into her work at My Wellness Center and her studio, Soma Movement.

Allie offers somatic movement and body-based sessions in her studio and virtually, as well as mental health therapy that is somatically oriented and integrates evidence-based psychotherapeutic modalities. She supports individuals living with chronic stress, pain, anxiety, depression, or long-standing patterns of disconnection, helping them reconnect with choice and cultivate a relationship with themselves rooted in dignity, curiosity, and liberation.

Her approach begins with the understanding that our bodies hold both personal history and the imprint of the systems we move through. Healing, to her, is not about fixing what’s “wrong,” but about reclaiming what has been shaped or constrained by survival — and remembering our innate capacity for change.

Drawing from Body-Mind Centering®, EmbodiYoga®​ & Somatics, and ​other mindfulness principles, Allie helps people understand how their physical, emotional, and psychological patterns shape how they move, relate, and navigate the world.

Her sessions blend somatic movement, gentle embodied yoga, breathwork, meditation, and  mindful inquiry. Whether in therapy or movement, her work is grounded in the belief that when the body feels supported, the whole person can reorganize toward resilience, presence, and possibility.

What Our Clients Say

  • Amy

    After giving birth to my son, I struggled with ongoing lower back pain. In 2015, I attended a workshop with Allie and immediately connected with what she shared about pain, movement, and the mind-body connection. I knew that night I wanted to work with her. After trying other studios where I never quite felt comfortable, I reached out—and starting private sessions with Allie was the best decision I’ve ever made.

    Allie is incredibly supportive, patient, and intuitive. She always encourages me to listen to my body, respects my limits, and guides me with care and precision. Over time, we’ve built a deep trust—she knows when to challenge me, when to simplify, and when to help me feel safe in my body.

    I’m stronger now, more confident, and I no longer fear pain the way I used to. Allie has taught me how breath, grounding, and movement can transform how I feel—physically and emotionally.

  • Aislinn (Physical Therapist)

    Allie’s work at Equilibrium is so changing! Her approach is unique and informed, and I have had more success with her than I have with anyone else I have ever worked with. Her approach is so much more than just a bio-mechanical approach to movement, and she is incredibly talented as well as humble and compassionate. My session with Allie is what I look forward to most each week!

  • Melissa D

    Allie’s holistic approach is unique and incredibly effective. As an active 60+ woman who likes to walk, hike, and bike, I’ve tried to address many injuries over the years through physical therapy. Allie has helped me become more aware of my body (and its quirks!), and she has given me the ability to set more ambitious goals for myself. Inspired by principles of yoga, and drawing from her experience as a dancer, Pilates teacher, and somatic educator, Allie creates lessons that are dynamic, fun, and empowering. Thank you, Allie, for your gift of teaching movement so thoughtfully and effectively.

  • Linda W.

    When Allie asks how we're doing at the beginning of her Soma Flow class, I always say...'I'll be better in an hour!' This class is a beautiful balance of fresh, creative, and fun movements that leave me feeling rejuvenated and energized from head to toe every time. I’ve been coming to class since 2013!

Feedback from Allie’s workshops on Fusion Pilates EDU & Pilates Anytime

  • I really liked what you said: there are interesting things in small things. That can be very reassuring for folk who can’t move big but also a reminder to be respectful to the whole movement and fully embrace it, no matter the limitations.

  • Really loved your classes, Allie! Very inspiring for exploring and discovering our ways of moving and what moves us - the spaces in, out, and around us. Could literally spend hours in this self-discovery movement journey.

  • These classes make me inspired to playfully, curiously look into my movement preferences and also risk other choices and places rarely visited in my body.
