& Founder of Dance Your Bliss
Rachel Fleischman, LCSW
Unlock more joy and revitalize your life force with powerful NeuroSomatic tools that integrate breathwork, movement, and the power of neuroplasticity (the brain’s natural ability to adapt, heal, and transform) –– to ignite vitality, promote emotional safety, and soothe your nervous system.
Imagine waking up each day feeling revitalized and excited about the direction your life is heading — fueled by a vibrant life force that enables you to move through life like a powerhouse, equipped with energy, ease, resilience, radical self-acceptance, and a renewed capacity for experiencing bliss.
If you long for this kind of vitality but often feel drained, disconnected, or weighed down by modern day concerns and worry, take heart...
Your body holds the wisdom to unlock deep healing, renewal, and profound happiness.
Join Rachel Fleischman, LCSW — psychotherapist, expressive arts therapist, and founder of Dance Your Bliss — for a 7-week live video course in which she’ll guide you through the practices of NeuroSomatics, a powerful fusion of neuroscience and therapeutic somatic practices designed to help you rewire your nervous system for emotional safety... and awaken your body’s innate intelligence to heal and recover from stress.
Through her NeuroSomatic techniques — which include embodiment, movement, breathwork, journaling, sensory exploration, and more — you’ll learn to work with your body to rediscover your radiant exuberance, creativity, and sense of child-like curiosity, wonder, and awe.
By integrating movement, mindfulness, and neuroplasticity, you’ll learn how to restore emotional balance, cultivate resilience and adaptability, and reclaim the vibrant life force that reminds you how to delight in the simple pleasures of life, as you experience heightened holistic wellbeing.
Rachel’s transformative approach to healing and empowerment has helped countless people break free from stagnation and stress, guiding them back to a state of vibrancy and inner peace.
Her work is grounded in the belief that our bodies are not obstacles to overcome but powerful allies in our healing journey. By tuning in to embodied awareness, you can rewire your nervous system, release self-limiting stories, and cultivate a sustainable level of vitality.
At the heart of NeuroSomatics lies the recognition that your body is a dynamic system of energy, emotions, and memories, intricately connected to your mind. By activating this system with mindful practices, you can regain the natural flow of energy within, shifting from stress, fear, and self-judgement to play, creativity, and radical self-acceptance and expression.
During this experiential journey with Rachel, you’ll integrate polyvagal theory and the principles of neuroplasticity with simple, yet profound practices to shift from tension and overwhelm to a state of grounded presence, where clarity, ease, and vibrancy become your new normal.
As you learn Rachel’s signature techniques — including “Bliss Booster” practices, “Energizing Recharge,” “NeuroFlow Activation,” the “Flow Through Resistance” rhythmic movement sequence, diaphragmatic breathing, humming, and more — you’ll activate your body’s ability to heal, reset, and thrive.
You’ll create your own personalized “movement map” — a daily practice to release energy blocks and enhance joy.
Throughout this reinvigorating program, you’ll:
- Activate your body’s innate wisdom to dissolve energy blocks, create flow, and awaken a sense of ecstasy as you move through your daily activities
- Learn breath techniques designed to stabilize your emotions, enhance your vitality, and cultivate self-compassion and radical self-acceptance
- Practice Rachel’s “Bliss Boosters” to ground your energy and uplift your spirit
- Build a personalized movement map for daily use to increase your vitality and bliss
- Experience somatic practices for activating your vagus nerve — to regulate your body’s stress response and restore balance and equilibrium
- Let go of trapped emotions with somatic practices and creative expression
- Experience embodiment techniques for stimulating your parasympathetic nervous system — to release tension and increase neuroplasticity, your brain’s ability to rewire itself for healing, adaptability, and ease
- Be guided through Rachel’s “Pleasure Path” sensory journey and “Dancing With Freedom” movement practice to reactivate your brain’s pleasure centers so you can rediscover life’s simple joys
- Participate in reflective journaling practices to deepen your connection with your inner healer for strength and wisdom
- Build rituals that anchor energy, balance, and happiness in your life
- And much more...
This course will help you stop battling against your own body and instead collaborate with it. You’ll no longer have to chase your feel-good desires... you’ll be able to enter delighted states of being that naturally arise when you’re in sync with your body’s wisdom.
Rachel’s tools, techniques, and practices are designed to help you experience a deep shift — not just in how you move and feel, but in how you approach life. They go far beyond temporary fixes to facilitate lasting evolution and empowerment.
By the end of this journey, you’re likely to feel deeply connected to your body, your life force, and your creative power — and be equipped with practical embodiment tools to nurture yourself, cultivate joy, and show up in your life with more energy and passion than you ever thought possible.

What People Are Saying About Rachel Fleischman, LCSW…
Rachel brings great energy, authentic caring, expertise, and FUN to this retreat. She is a keen listener and skillful facilitator who creates a safe space to honor the intention of each person, while also honoring the group’s collective experience together. Thank you for designing this innovative event that guided me through a journey of discovering what BLISS I needed to find and recapture in my daily life!
Let me tell you, I am a stiff, middle-aged white guy... somewhat intellectual, even aloof... I shy away from most group activities. I found myself spinning around the room, arms flying, shoulders swinging, sweatier and happier by the end! “Thank you” doesn’t even scratch the surface.
Edison, New Jersey
For my 71st birthday, I gave myself the gift of a weekend at Omega, Dancing my Bliss with Rachel Fleischman. What a gift! A reminder to move, to dance, to fully express yourself in every way to her music and inspiration. A must for everyone to learn to move again.
Author of Designing a Happier Life: Feng Shui With Lurrae
