somatic therapy

Therapy for the Body as Well as the Mind

When you go through something traumatic or overwhelming, your body instinctively steps in to protect you.

It speeds you up into fight-or-flight or shuts you down into freeze-or-fawn. But if you don't get the chance to fully process and release all that intense survival energy, it gets trapped right there in your nervous system. 

Over time, that stuck energy starts screaming for attention, showing up in your daily life as chronic stress, anxiety, exhaustion, physical illness, or just feeling completely numb and disconnected from yourself and everyone around you.

Deep, Transformative Power Through Somatic Experiencing

Somatic therapy is a bottom-up modality much like EMDR. If you’ve tried traditional talk therapy and found that it only takes you so far, this is the space where you can finally move from just thinking about your pain to truly feeling and releasing it. 

By working directly with your nervous system, we safely get to the absolute roots of unhealthy coping patterns and untangle the physiological components of trauma—whether that stems from chronic, everyday stressors (little "t") or overwhelming life events (big "T").

This is a deeply experiential, felt-sense approach designed to help you release the physical tension and survival responses that have kept you stuck…

Allowing you to reclaim a sense of true safety, ease, and wholeness in your own body.
