Sumitra Rajkumar is a social justice leader and somatic therapy practitioner. Born in Chennai, South India and raised in Dubai, Sumitra spent her years after college in the 90's working on social justice initiatives in NYC. She started on the streets, worked on youth organizing for political education, and eventually held leadership roles in social justice groups like Social Justice Leadership.

Along the way, she noticed something very concerning - many of her fellow social justice activists were experiencing psychological trauma. So, she decided to devote her life to solving this problem. Her solution: somatic therapy.

A relatively new therapy, somatic therapy can be understood as a purpose-centered, body-focused therapy. Imagine meditation - but with a HUGE focus on using the body as a means of focusing on the present moment.

Enjoy!
