Unveiling inner healing through embodied transformation and trauma-informed bodywork.
Somatic bodywork, also known as somatic therapy or somatic movement therapy, is a profound approach to healing that recognizes the intricate connection between the mind, body, and soul. It invites you to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery, where you can explore and release the deep-seated tensions and patterns held within your physical being.
Trauma profoundly impacts the mind and body, leaving behind invisible scars that can hinder your well-being. In our pursuit of holistic health, we believe that true healing requires addressing trauma at its core. That is why we offer specialized bodywork for trauma, a profound and transformative approach to healing that harnesses the power of physical connection.
In a world where the mind often precedes the body, somatic bodywork is a beautiful reminder that your physicality is not separate from your emotional and psychological spheres. It emphasizes the importance of nurturing and caring for your whole self to achieve true well-being and balance.
Restoring balance
and flow with
somatic bodywork.
The somatic bodywork coach serves as a compassionate guide, holding a safe space to express, explore, and release the physical and emotional burdens stored within your body. This process creates an opportunity for deep self-reflection, nurtures self-awareness, and empowers you to understand yourself better.
The techniques applied during somatic bodywork sessions encourage the body to release accumulated stress, trauma, or other unresolved experiences. During a somatic bodywork session, coaches employ various techniques tailored to your needs. These may include body-centered mindfulness, breathwork, therapeutic touch, movement explorations, and guided visualization. Through these interventions, the body's innate wisdom is awakened, allowing for a deep somatic release and the reintegration of fragmented aspects of the self.
Nurturing mind-body-soul connection through somatic bodywork and healing touch.
At its core, Somatic Bodywork acknowledges that your body is not a mere vessel but is deeply intertwined with your emotions, experiences, and histories. It recognizes that unresolved traumas, stress, and unexpressed emotions can manifest as tension, pain, or disconnection in the body. Through breathwork, gentle touch, and movement, somatic bodywork aims to restore harmony and balance within this mind-body-soul trinity, which leads to a sense of release, restoration, and integration.
We recognize that trauma is a deeply personal and
individual experience
We understand that the effects of trauma can be far-reaching and affect various aspects of one's life. That is why we go above and beyond to provide personalized and tailored sessions to meet your unique needs and preferences. Whether you prefer a specific modality or a combination of different techniques, we work with you to create a session that resonates with you on a deep level. By offering this personalized approach, we strive to empower you to take an active role in your healing journey.
Creating a safe and supportive environment is paramount to our approach. We’re committed to recognizing and respecting your boundaries, and we prioritize obtaining consent for any touch or physical interaction during our sessions. Your comfort and sense of safety are of utmost importance to us.
We follow trauma-informed practices. This means that we acknowledge the potential impact of trauma on individuals and structure our sessions accordingly. We strive to create an environment that promotes healing, understanding, validation, trust, and empowerment, where you feel genuinely seen and heard.
“The essence of somatic bodywork lies in recognizing that your body carries an inherent wisdom, constantly communicating through sensations, emotions, and physical responses.
However, this innate communication can become distorted or overlooked due to life's stresses, past traumas, or repetitive patterns. Somatic bodywork is an art of listening and responding to these subtle cues.”
The transformative benefits of somatic bodywork.
Combining breathwork, therapeutic touch, movement, and awareness, Somatic Bodywork techniques offer many benefits beyond simple relaxation and stress reduction.
• Increases body awareness
• Releases physical and emotional tension
• Reduces stress
• Improves mental health
• Expands self-awareness
• Reduces physical discomfort & chronic pain
• Creates resilience & self-compassion
• Heals traumas
• Improves emotional regulation
Somatic bodywork aims to create a safe and nurturing space for you to reconnect with your body. By fostering a deep sense of presence and awareness, we’ll guide you through a journey of exploration, unwinding physical tension, and unraveling emotional or energetic blockages.
The first session will involve a more in-depth conversation about your current lifestyle, goals, and intentions.
Typical sessions start with a check-in chat, discussing any areas of tension you notice in the body, intention setting, somatic grounding, and centering exercises, followed by active Somatic Bodywork. This practice is not like a massage. You’ll be fully clothed. Breath, movement, sound, and touch will be incorporated into the sessions so that we can listen to the messages of your body, regulate your nervous system, release tensions, and move energy in your body so that you can release what no longer serves you. The session will end with a time of integration, journaling, drawing, and sharing.
