Coming home to the body…
Has stress accumulated to the point that you feel overwhelmed or burnt out? Are there emotions in your body that you have trouble accessing? Is it hard to be present or do you find yourself fearful of pain? Do you feel disconnected from yourself and who you care about most? Somatic therapy is a present-oriented, skill based, and experiential way to learn to regulate the nervous system and welcome more vitality in the body and peace of mind. I hold sacred space for your journey home to your deepest sense of self.
“And I said to my body softly, ‘I want to be your friend.’
It took a long breath and replied,
‘I have been waiting my whole life for this.’”
— Nayyirah Waheed
Getting Present & Diving Deep With Somatic Therapy
You may have a therapist you love but are looking for added support for nervous system regulation. You may be looking for therapy that incorporates the body to help you process stuck emotion. You may be looking for concrete tools to manage stress. You may not know what you’re looking for and somatic therapy could be a great place to start.
Somatic therapy is a present-oriented, skill based, and experiential way to welcome more vitality in the body and peace of mind. I work with clients who may be feeling stressed, dysregulated, burnt out, disconnected, pain in the body, and unprocessed grief. Clients gain a toolbox of skills to increase their ability to be present and regulated.
I draw from yoga, polyvagal theory, ecotherapy, somatics, parts work, attachment-focused EMDR, and earth-based spirituality to help you reconnect to the natural rhythms of the body and a sense of inner guidance. We build bridges of connection to your body, sense of self, relationships, and the earth.
“When your felt sense of a situation changes, you change -
and, therefore, so does your life.”
― Eugene Gendlin
