Somatic Experiencing

Somatic Experiencing  is a powerful therapeutic approach designed to help release trauma, stress, and emotional blockages stored in the body.

 

This body-awareness based therapy helps individuals process and resolve the deep-rooted effects of trauma through gentle, body-sensation led techniques, Somatic Experiencing activates the body’s natural self-healing processes, guiding you towards greater balance, freedom, and emotional well-being. 

 

It increases our capacity to live a more integrated, joyful & energetic life, bringing forth our full potential to truly be ourselves, shedding our limiting attitudes and beliefs.

Somatic Experiencing takes a holistic, mind-body approach to healing by focusing on the physical sensations that arise in response to trauma or stress. By gently exploring these sensations, clients can gradually release the physical and emotional patterns that have been holding them back. This therapy supports your body’s innate ability to heal itself, encouraging you to reconnect with your true self, cultivate emotional resilience, and live more fully. Whether dealing with past trauma or current struggles, Somatic Experiencing offers practical tools to help you move forward with greater vitality, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.

​

  • Stress, anxiety, and panic attacks

  • Phobias and unresolved fears

  • Depression and mood swings

  • Chronic pain (neck, back, headaches)

  • Fatigue and digestive issues
