Somatic Healing
Somatic healing is a body-focused form of therapy that deep-dives into discovering trauma, belief systems, and programming stored within your body, leading to physical, emotional, energetic, and mental struggles. By exploring your body awareness and connection, the ways your body reacts and holds onto heavy energy become clear. We can then begin to shift your nervous system from triggering the fight-or-flight response in reaction to past trauma and present experiences, into a rest-and-repair state, allowing you to heal and release.
Somatic healing can work with methods such as talk therapy and other holistic practices, or on its own. Where talk therapy asks your mind how it feels and what it remembers, somatic healing asks your body how it feels and what it wants to let go of. Thoughts, emotions, and beliefs are all energy turned into data and a physical manifestation of those energies. Your muscles store energy, your bones and joints store energy, and your body is not designed to hold onto these things without discomfort.
“In order to change, people need to become aware of their sensations and the way that their bodies interact with the world around them. Physical self-awareness is the first step in releasing the tyranny of the past.”
Utilizing various practices including but not limited to guided breathwork, yoga, somatic movement, EFT tapping, and pendulation, somatic healing guides you to open and deepen the connection with your physical body and allows your body to guide you towards healing in a bottom (feeling and sensation) up approach. This framework begins to rewire neural pathways and provides you with methods and practices to support your self-journey in your daily life.
It takes time and subconscious repetition to build up the tangles of stored trauma, but through intentional self-connection, discovery leads to a lighter, healthier you!
*Because somatic healing is a form of therapy, these are not “one-off” sessions and require repeated sessions to receive the most benefit.
To begin your journey with somatic healing, purchase an initial 4-session package which includes the initial intake session and 3 follow-up sessions (follow-up sessions past the initial 4 may be booked individually).
These sessions can be done in-person and virtually.
