Somatic therapy is a holistic healing approach that focuses on the connection between the mind, body, and spirit. Unlike traditional talk therapies, somatic therapy incorporates body-based practices to help you become more aware of how emotions, stress, and trauma are stored in your physical body. The goal is to release these stored energies and create a sense of harmony and balance, allowing you to heal on a deeper level.

​

As a somatic practitioner,  I use tools like breathwork, meditation, and gentle movement to guide you in listening to your body’s signals. By tapping into your body’s innate intelligence, we can work together to address issues like anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and emotional trauma.

As a somatic practitioner, I facilitate your healing process by helping you become more attuned to the sensations, emotions, and memories that are held within your body. Rather than focusing solely on mental or emotional issues, I guide you through body-based practices that encourage self-awareness and release of tension or trauma.

A key part of my role is to help you notice the feedback your body provides, especially when it comes to how past experiences have been stored in your muscles, tissues, or nervous system. Using techniques like somatic memory awareness, breathwork, and neural rewiring, I support you in gently releasing these imprints, creating space for healing and growth.

Somatic therapy differs from traditional talk therapy in that it emphasizes the body’s role in healing. While talk therapy focuses on processing emotions and thoughts verbally, somatic therapy involves working with the physical sensations and experiences stored in the body.

As a somatic practitioner, I guide you in connecting with your body, noticing where tension or discomfort arises, and using gentle movements, breathwork, and other body-based techniques to release stored emotions and trauma. This approach helps you heal on a deeper, more integrated level, addressing not only the mind but also the body and spirit.

During a virtual somatic therapy session, we’ll begin by setting an intention for your healing. I’ll guide you through practices that help you connect with your body’s sensations, whether through breathwork, visualization, or mindful movement. These techniques will help you tune in to areas of tension, discomfort, or emotional holding.

I may also use tools like meditation, neural rewiring, or inner child work to support emotional release and mental clarity. Every session is personalized to your needs, so whether you’re dealing with stress, chronic pain, or emotional distress, I’ll meet you where you are and guide you toward healing.

While the session is virtual, the body-based practices are just as effective, as you’ll be guided to work with your own body’s sensations in real-time.

Somatic therapy can benefit you in many ways, especially if you’re dealing with:

• Anxiety and Depression: By working with the body, you can release deeply held stress and emotional patterns, leading to a greater sense of calm and emotional balance.

• Chronic Pain: Emotional trauma and stress are often stored in the body, leading to physical discomfort. Somatic therapy helps release this tension, easing pain and improving physical well-being.

• Emotional Trauma: Somatic practices provide a safe and supportive way to process and release trauma held in the body, leading to profound healing and freedom.

• Stress and Overwhelm: By tuning into your body’s signals, you can learn how to regulate your nervous system, reduce stress, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.

Somatic therapy offers a pathway to deeper self-awareness and emotional resilience, helping you create lasting change in both your physical and emotional well-being.

Somatic memory awareness is a core part of somatic therapy that focuses on how your body holds onto past experiences, emotions, and trauma. Often, our bodies store memories in the form of tension, discomfort, or even chronic pain. These memories may not always be accessible through conscious thought, but by paying attention to bodily sensations, we can bring these stored experiences to the surface.

Through somatic memory awareness, I guide you in becoming more aware of these physical sensations, helping you process and release stored emotions or trauma. This can lead to a profound sense of relief, emotional clarity, and physical ease.

While somatic therapy and energy healing both focus on holistic healing, they differ in their approaches.

• Somatic therapy works with the body’s physical sensations, helping you become more aware of how emotions and trauma are stored in your muscles, tissues, and nervous system. The focus is on releasing these stored energies through body-based practices.

• Energy healing, on the other hand, works more with the energetic body, balancing your energy field and chakras to promote overall wellness. It’s less about physical sensation and more about shifting energetic patterns.

As a practitioner of both, I often integrate energy healing into somatic therapy sessions, creating a unique and powerful approach to healing that supports your mind, body, and spirit.

With regular somatic therapy sessions, you can experience long-term benefits such as:

• Improved Emotional Regulation: Learn how to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelm by tuning into your body’s wisdom.

• Decreased Physical Pain: Release tension and trauma stored in your body, leading to reduced chronic pain and discomfort.

• Greater Self-Awareness: Deepen your connection to yourself by learning to listen to your body’s signals and sensations.

• Emotional Healing: Process and release past trauma, creating space for emotional freedom and peace.

• Holistic Wellness: Experience a greater sense of balance, harmony, and well-being in all areas of your life.

If you’re ready to heal from the inside out, I invite you to book a somatic therapy session with me. Together, we’ll work with your body’s innate intelligence to release what no longer serves you and guide you toward a life of balance, wholeness, and emotional freedom.
