JUNGIAN SOMATICS™
Animating our inner lives
The kinetic spirit, the soul's movement in matter, is still alive in you, even in brokenheartedness, disconnection, grief, uncertainty, pain or loss.
— Jane Clapp
Embodied
Incarnational
Unflinching
A practice of meeting psyche, body, and the living world without turning away.
Jungian Somatics™
I'm Jane Clapp, a Jungian Psychoanalyst, writer, and creator of Jungian Somatics™. I'm part of a small international community of approximately 4,000 Jungian Psychoanalysts trained according to the standards of the International Association for Analytical Psychology.
Becoming a Jungian Psychoanalyst involved years of rigorous study, clinical training, and sustained engagement with my own unconscious—a formation that continues to shape how I listen and perceive.
Jungian Somatics™ is rooted in Jung's understanding of the psychoid realm, where psyche and matter are not yet divided. Meaning arises through movement, sensation, image, and symbol. When our connection with this living ground is interrupted, spirit can feel distant, matter can feel dead, and the vital intelligence at the core of who we are can go quiet.
This work reintroduces the felt sense. Creativity, imagination, dreams, and the body become portals into the labyrinth of the psyche, as living terrain to move through. Movement here is listening: to the subtle currents of the Self or soul, to gestures and images that emerge rather than being forced or chosen. When control softens enough to let something else lead, reality begins to reorganize from within, and we can start to access our inner orbit of meaning and truth.
I work with creatives, depth practitioners, and people in the midst of existential shifts such as loss of meaning, brokenheartedness, and the dissolving of an identity that has run its course. Menopause, midlife, grief, illness, career transitions. Those navigating what wants to be born next through them, and learning to fully inhabit a life of embodied, spiritual meaning.
I'm currently writing a book for Routledge exploring the relationship between psyche, body, and spiritual life.
Alongside my writing, Jungian Somatics™ trainings, and public teaching, I offer Jungian Advisory for organizations, creative projects, and the people leading them.
I'm not currently accepting new clients for Jungian Analysis or Embodied Spiritual Direction, and both waitlists are closed.

WELCOMING INQUIRIES
Jungian Advisory
Shadow Consigliere
Organizations, creative projects, and the people leading them have an unconscious life. As a Shadow Consigliere, I stay close enough to understand what's happening while holding enough distance to see beyond the perspective of those inside it.
I help give language to what remains unseen: the shadow shaping the work and the creative intelligence and possibility that remain unclaimed.
NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS · WAITLIST CLOSED
Embodied Spiritual Direction
Sacred companionship for those drawn to a lived, inward experience of the Divine — through the body, dreams, symbols, and imagination. Open to all faith orientations.
Jungian Advisory is a consultation service, separate from psychotherapy.
For artists and creatives
Make room for what is asking to be made.
I work with artists and creative teams who want to come into closer contact with the living impulse at the centre of their work.
Together, we explore what may be interrupting that impulse, including fear, perfectionism, persona, conflict, or collective expectation. We also attend to the golden shadow: the creative intelligence, authority, and possibility that have yet to be recognized.
Through image, symbol, and archetypal patterns, we reconnect with the project's original impulse and attend to what wants to emerge.
I welcome inquiries about Jungian Advisory for creative projects and collaborations.
