Somatic Therapy
Connecting the Mind and Body
Your body is telling a story - and I am honoured to listen.
Imagine feeling safe and grounded in your body, while you explore your thoughts, experiences, and emotions.
We are here to help you develop a deeper awareness of your body, exploring your feelings, and boundaries and guiding you to release built-up emotions and stress that may be stored in your body.
What do we do as Somatic Therapists?
You have the Power to Heal from Within
Stress and Trauma can have profound and lasting effects on both your physical and emotional well-being. Over time, if your body is in a constant state of high alert, it can cause inflammation, sleep disruptions, and contribute to general Anxiety and Depression.
Stress & Trauma
Impacts of
Trauma, whether from a single event or ongoing experiences, gets stored in our bodies as physical sensations and emotional responses. This can be manifested as chronic pain, tension, or a feeling of being ‘stuck’ in survival mode, which can be difficult to move past without support.
“Our bodies communicate to us clearly and specifically, if we are willing to listen.”
Our bodies give us powerful information about our well-being, but we don’t always pay attention. Somatic Therapy helps you reconnect with your body, so you can understand what it’s telling you.
Who May Benefit from Somatic Therapy?
Do you often feel overwhelmed or disconnected from your body?
Somatic Therapy might be just what you need. It focuses on how your body responds to Stress and Trauma, supporting both emotional and physical health. Sometimes we feel out of balance and we don’t know why. Somatic Therapy helps you reconnect with your body and learn to listen to what it’s telling you.
It also helps in other conditions, such as Anxiety and Addictions.

How Can Somatic Therapy Help You?
Have you ever wondered how it would be if you could slow down your mind whenever you wanted?
Your body knows how to do it, and it’s there to tell you if you know how to listen. Somatic Therapy helps you reconnect with your body, making it easier to release built-in tension and stored emotions that might be holding you back.
