Our Approach to Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-based approach that supports nervous system regulation and healing, especially in relation to stress and trauma. Our work focuses on building a safe, collaborative relationship so sessions can be paced to meet your unique needs and comfort level. By bringing awareness to present-moment bodily sensations, we help the nervous system release stored tension and restore balance. Each person’s experience is different, and the process unfolds gradually to support safety, resilience, and integration. This approach reflects a deep respect for the mind-body connection and the body’s innate capacity to heal. Our goal is to support you wherever you are in your healing journey and help you cultivate greater ease, emotional regulation, and connection within your body.
