Somatic therapy is body-based healing work. Trauma and stress do not just live in the mind – they live in the body, in the ways your nervous system braces, shuts down, or stays on guard long after the original experience has passed. Talk therapy works with your thoughts. Somatic therapy works with what your body has been holding underneath them. In sessions we pay attention to physical sensation, nervous system responses, and what shifts when we slow down enough to notice. It is particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, and anything that has felt too big or too wordless to process through conversation alone.
