FOR MIND & BODY
HEALING THROUGH THE MIND & BODY
How Somatic Therapy Helps ›
Somatic therapy supports healing on both a physiological and emotional level. By working directly with the language of the nervous system, somatic counseling helps restore balance, increase resilience, and expand your internal sense of safety.
In essence, you become an expert in communicating with your own internal GPS. These are skills you will have for a lifetime. My clients often tell me they teach them to their spouses, their children, even their coworkers.
There is an infinite circle of wellness available when you learn these tools.
Somatic Therapy is especially helpful for ›
ANXIETY & DEPRESSION
Notice how stress shows up in your body and learn ways to feel more grounded, steady and connected to yourself.
BURNOUT, EXHAUSTION & OVERWHELM
Recognise when your body needs rest and begin to move out of the constant cycle of doing and pushing through.
PTSD, TRAUMA, GRIEF & LOSS
Work gently with your body’s responses to difficult experiences, at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
RELATIONAL STRESS & BOUNDARIES
Understand your patterns in relationships and practise setting boundaries without losing your sense of connection.
WHAT YOUR SOMATIC THERAPY SESSIONS LOOK LIKE
There is always choice. There is always permission to pause, shift or rest.
We go gently at your own pace
Somatic therapy is collaborative and gentle. We’ll follow what feels supportive for you, with room to pause or change direction at any point.
We honor your nervous system
Sessions may include grounding, breathwork, gentle movement or imagery. Sometimes we simply slow down and notice what’s happening in the moment.
You build trust in yourself
As you learn to recognise your body’s cues and honour your boundaries, you can begin to feel more confident in what you need.
