What Is Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing that focuses on the nervous system, physical sensations, supportive touch, and present-moment awareness. Rather than working only through conversation or spa-style massage, somatic therapy combines the best practices from touch and talk therapy for long-term symptom and trauma resolution.
In somatic therapy sessions, we will start seated, and I will help guide your nervous system out of its chronic stress response. We may use movements, breath, visualizations, or physical somatic tools in addition to the bodywork component. This is a safe space to gently feel through emotions that are causing discomfort, and to discover deeper-rooted blockages that you may not be aware of.
​
Somatic bodywork is not about reliving past experiences. It is about creating enough safety for the body to heal itself and release patterns of tension and overwhelm. Some clients say they get the best sleep of their lives after. Some say this is the first time they have felt so peaceful since childhood. Regardless of your experience, you will learn about yourself and take a step toward nervous system regulation.

Self-Care
Creating space for this work is more than self-care; it’s a way of coming back to your own rhythm. In a world that pushes us to go faster, achieve more, and hold everything together, our bodies often carry the weight of it all. Here, we slow down. We listen to the subtle cues of your nervous system, explore the places that feel tense or disconnected, and invite your body back into balance.
