Welcome.
I'm glad you're here.
I'm Andrea Wollenberg, and I'm honored to support you.
I offer Somatic Experiencing ® for trauma resolution. Trauma, whether long-past or recent, physical or emotional, sudden or ongoing, can damage the whole and powerful connection between your mind and your body. It can make life seem like something to get through with a better strategy and a shield, rather than an opportunity to explore with enlightened purpose. Who you think you are doesn't seem to match how you feel, and who you want to be seems out of reach. You want to move forward, but something is stuck. You need repair, but can't find what's broken, even though you think you know what broke it. You don't know what you're looking for, and where you've been looking reveals nothing.
Trauma is not the end of story.
You can heal.
My intent is to support your natural ability to meet challenges with vitality, ease and effectiveness. Somatic Experiencing® is a deep, potent body-centered approach for well-being and healing from trauma. I'm here to help you move on from what's happened, and rediscover a response to your life you never knew you had.
Get ready for a whole new story.
New Clients: please explore my website for many answers to questions you might have before booking a free 20-minute video consultation. I look forward to meeting you.
Is Somatic Experiencing like a Massage?
No.
Somatic Experiencing and any other trauma-informed somatic therapy is not like a traditional massage, Healing Touch or Energy Work.
I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner with seventeen years of hands-on bodywork experience, which informs my work and sets me apart from other practitioners, but you should not expect to lie on a massage table and receive an hour of bodywork. Somatic Experiencing is about you building a relationship with your body, not about something being done to your body. Your Somatic Experiencing sessions may not even include touch until later in the process.
