Why the body matters in healing
Our bodies hold both the imprint of everything we’ve lived and the map back to our wholeness. By listening to the body—its sensations, patterns, and stories—we open pathways out of collapse and confusion and into resilience, clarity, and empowerment.
Somatic refers to our full-body, whole person experience—our senses, emotion, imagination, actions, meaning-making and more subtle aspects. Core elements of this work are learning to:
The felt sense - sensation tracking
Orienting and Resourcing
Titrating
Pendulating
Grounding
and more
While insight is important, it's not always enough to generate positive shifts in our lives and relationships. When we can feel something different, new possibilities and choices emerge. As a Somatic therapist, I help you attune to and work with what is stored in your nervous system.
“80% or more of health conditions are autonomic nervous system events.”
—James Jealous
Shift the lived experience
When the body settles, the mind settles
When chronic tension softens, people rediscover that feeling can be pleasurable, safe, and positive
When old activation patterns release, new narratives become possible
When a protective part softens, relationships change
When the nervous system reorganizes, people feel more choice, freedom, and capacity
When somatic states shift, identity shifts
It’s a transformation that’s not just conceptual—it’s something the client feels in their body, behavior, relationships, and daily life.
