Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that helps you connect with your physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system. It gently supports you in processing stress, trauma, and stuck patterns through movement, breath, and awareness. This therapy can help you feel more grounded, present, and in tune with yourself.
Sessions may look a lot like traditional talk therapy - sharing thoughts, feelings, and what's been going on in your life while also gently bring in body awareness, noticing sensations, breath, posture, movements or tension as they arise. You may be invited to pause, breathe, move, or explore what your body is communicating, helping you process experiences not just through words, but through deeper mind-body connection.
