You're smart. You're self-aware. But you feel stuck.
You’ve read the books. You’ve done the therapy. You know your patterns — yet your body still feels disconnected, overwhelmed, numb, or exhausted. Something just doesn't FEEL like you THINK it should.
That’s where somatic therapy comes in.​
What is somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy is a grounded, body-based approach that helps regulate your nervous system. Unlike traditional talk therapy, or something more 'out there,' this work meets you in the here + now — in your body — helping you feel more settled, clear, yourself + truly seen.
Trauma-informed, somatic therapy that gets to the roots of the problems rather than trying to fix the leaves, so you can finally start feeling better not just thinking smarter. There's talking, but it's more than that.
