SOMATIC & NERVOUS SYSTEM AWARENESS
Embodied Healing
Somatic Informed Therapy for Trauma, Grief, Emotional Balance, and Nervous System Healing
Holistic, body-centered therapy to help you regulate your nervous system, heal trauma, and reconnect with yourself.
If you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or disconnected from your body, somatic awareness therapy offers a powerful path toward lasting healing. Unlike traditional talk therapy alone, somatic therapy works directly with the nervous system — where stress and trauma are stored to help you feel safer, calmer, and more grounded in your daily life.
What Is Somatic Informed Therapy?
Somatic informed therapy (also called body-centered psychotherapy) is an evidence-informed approach that integrates mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and trauma healing techniques.
Research in neuroscience shows that trauma and chronic stress affect the autonomic nervous system. Therapy, with an integrated somatic and nervous system awareness, helps you:
Regulate fight-or-flight responses
Release stored tension and stress patterns
Increase emotional resilience
Develop greater body awareness
Improve mind-body connection
By gently tracking physical sensations, breath, and internal cues, you learn how to shift out of survival states and into regulation and balance..
How Somatic Therapy Helps with Anxiety and Trauma
Somatic awareness therapy can be especially effective for:
Anxiety and panic attacks
PTSD and complex trauma
Chronic stress and burnout
Attachment wounds
Emotional overwhelm
Dissociation or numbness
Chronic muscle tension or stress-related symptoms
Rather than reliving traumatic events, this approach focuses on building safety and capacity in the present moment. Healing happens through regulation — not retraumatization.
A Holistic Approach
Healing is multidimensional. My integrative framework draws from:
Nervous system regulation practices
Breathwork and grounding techniques
Trauma-informed somatic practices
Mindfulness and present-moment awareness
Parts work and inner child healing
Relational and attachment-focused therapy
Each session is collaborative and tailored to your unique history, needs, and goals.
What to Expect in a Session
Sessions are 50–60 minutes and move at a pace that feels safe and grounded.
You might experience:
Guided awareness | grounding exercises
Breath and nervous system regulation tools
Gentle exploration of emotions and physical sensations
Reflective conversation integrated with somatic and emotional tracking tracking
Safety, consent, and attunement are prioritized. You are always in control of the process.
The Science Behind the Work
Modern neuroscience shows that trauma and stress are stored not only in memory, but in the nervous system. Somatic therapy works directly with these physiological patterns, supporting:
Increased vagal tone
Reduced fight-or-flight activation
Greater emotional flexibility
Improved mind-body integration
Healing occurs when the body feels safe enough to release what it has been holding.
Why Choose Somatic Therapy?
Traditional cognitive approaches address thoughts. Somatic therapy addresses the body — where stress responses live.
Benefits of somatic awareness therapy include:
Greater emotional regulation
Reduced anxiety symptoms
Improved stress tolerance
Increased self-trust and embodiment
Healthier relationships
Long-term trauma recovery
When the nervous system feels safe, change becomes sustainable.
