Trauma Healing Through the Body

Somatic Regulation & Trauma Healing 

Many of us carry patterns in our bodies that were shaped by early experiences - especially during childhood, when our nervous systems were still developing. These patterns can show up as anxiety, shutdown, overwhelm, or difficulty feeing safe in relationships.

My approach is to offer a gentle, body-based approach to healing those patterns. My methods focus on helping the body and nervous system feel more stable, more resilent, and more connected - especially after trauma or early attachment wounding.

Somatic regulation and resilience is about learning how to listen to the body - and gently support it when it becomes overwhelmed or stuck. When your system feels "too much" (or "not enough), this work helps bring things back into balance. It's especially helpful if you often feel anxious, disconnected, exhausted, or emotionally reactive in ways that don't make sense. 
You don't need to think your way through trauma - this work helps you feel your way into more safety and presence, one step at a time.

Who This is For

This work may be helpful if you:

  • Struggle with anxiety, chronic stress , or overwhelm

  • Have a history of developmental trauma or attachment wounds 

  • Feel "stuck" in old patterns that are hard to shift

  • Want a body-based approach to therapy that doesn't rely only on talking

  • Are curious about how your body and nervous system affect how you feel and relate

What to Expect in a Session

  • A slow, supportive pacing that honors your body's readiness 

  • Somatic awareness practices to gently tune into breath, tension, energy, and internal cues - even in subtle ways

  • Uncoupling trauma dynamics - exploring and gently unwinding patterns where past experiences or emotional responses are stuck together  

  • Supporting the completion of unresolved trauma - creating conditions where your body can move toward resolution without re-experiencing overwhelm 

  • Deepening the relationship between your body and mind—listening for signals, building capacity, and choosing new responses.

  • Regulation tools to help stabilize your nervous system during and between sessions 

  • Fully online format - no physical touch is used, we rely on verbal guidance, imagery, and somatic cues to support your healing
