Discover Somatic Bodywork & Somatic Therapy
Somatic Bodywork or Somatic Therapy are catchphrases that encompass a holistic approaches to healing the body-mind connection. Somatic derives its root from the Greek word "soma," which means "body." This term refers not only to your physical body but also to the entirety of an organism or cell. Therefore, when seeking therapeutic support for your body, it’s essential to consider the whole of your Self.
Somatic Experiencing® might be the support you need. It is a holistic approach to help you learn how your nervous system can safely release trauma responses that no longer fit into the expanded, vital version of who you want to be. You may realize that despite having "done the work" in therapy, your entire body still seems to hold tension in readiness for threats that no longer exist, and you have aches from consistently "holding on" to old patterns that no longer serve your true self.
The stress of today's world can make it challenging to connect with our bodies comfortably. Cognitive thinking is highly valued, and the distraction of devices can lead to a disconnection from sensation and movement. It’s no wonder your mind feels overloaded!
As psychotherapists increasingly recognize the importance of addressing not only the psyche but also how our minds interconnect with our bodies, experienced bodyworkers like myself are in high demand. Trained and experienced in various techniques that facilitate change in the body, I offer trauma-informed support through Somatic Experiencing and various forms of touch as needed.
Contraction must find expansion, and what expands must contract, with purpose and precision.
