Somatic Therapy
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing that recognises how our nervous system, emotions and past experiences are stored and expressed in the body. When unresolved stress or trauma becomes stuck, it can manifest as tension, anxiety, emotional overwhelm or physical symptoms.
Through a combination of talking therapy, breathwork, nervous system education, movement and hands-on practices, we gently explore what your body is holding and support its natural ability to release, regulate and heal.
What to Expect?
We always begin with talking and body-awareness practices, helping you connect with what you’re feeling and where it’s showing up. More importantly starting to find safety as a foundation of the process. As we work together, I may integrate:
Breathwork – to support nervous system regulation and emotional release
Gentle movement & shaking – to process and release stored tension
Yin/restorative yoga – to help your body settle into deep relaxation
Hands-on massage & bodywork – to encourage nervous system safety and repair
Self-soothing techniques – to develop tools for grounding and resilience
Nervous system mapping – to identify patterns and shifts over time
Creative exploration- using art, journalling, or expressive movement to process emotions in new ways
