Your body knows the way
PRIVATE SOMATIC SESSION
Hitting a plateau or a roadblock on your wellness journey?​​
​​
Are you experiencing;
-
Tension and stiffness that won't budge
-
Challenges with your breath, sleep or digestion
-
Always in your head, trouble slowing down, constant worry, lack of focus
-
Stuck, lack motivation, keeping yourself small, numbing out.
-
Yo-yoing between highs and lows
-
Sense there is 'a piece missing' in your wellness puzzle
-
Have no idea why your body reacts the way it does
​
Despite your best efforts (including talk therapy), do you:
-
Repeat patterns that limit your peace and success in life?
-
​Sense your body might be holding onto chronic stress and unresolved trauma?
-
Desire a body-based, natural approach to resolving your health challenges?
-
Want to address root cause and explore what lies beneath the surface?
​​
I help adults safely explore and process the tension, emotion and sensations stored in their bodies from chronic stress and traumatic life events so they can restore resilience and be present for their lives.

​
What to expect in your first session;

Intake with compassionate inquiry about your life experiences, symptoms and desired outcome.

Body-based practices to regulate, restore and explore, depending on your needs.
-
Most people report a sense of validation, relief, hope, and possibility.
​
​Based on your needs, I weave body-based practices into your session;

Somatic inquiry (we explore the 'felt sense' of your story and emotional material that arises during intake)
-
Conscious Connected Breathwork (or other breathwork if more appropriate)
-
Somatic Movement & Pandiculation therapy (if appropriate)​
-
Nervous System Literacy & self regulation tools
​
Any precautions?
All the practices are modified and are customized to suit your unique needs. In general, this work is suitable to those experiencing complex symptoms (i.e. chronic pain/illness, trauma recovery, chronic anxiety and depression).
-
Movement practices are very gentle.
-
Sessions are intended to be digestible and not overwhelming
-
Appropriate breathwork techniques, depending on your unique situation.

A 10 week container of support is available for those needing consistent support and co-regulation.

Additional support from a licensed therapist may be recommended (referrals and collaborations with therapists are welcome).

Clients report increased self-awareness and capacity to handle stress, improved sleep and digestion, sense of agency, and increased self-kindness.
