Somatic therapy is an opportunity to process on a different level. Evolution by restoring flow happens by releasing whatever your body is holding.

For example: The upper torso bones and muscles of the body can be understood as “ Body Armor.” Over the course of our lives, when we experience hardship, we develop a tough shell that prevents us from opening up to the world around us. The more trauma we experience, the more inwards we go. Through this touchwork, I can help you find safety and trust in your torso, which defends the heart and lungs. Eventually this ability to “open” will allow for the heart and lung organs to function better. Overall, this work allows clients to experience the world as a safer place to exist.

Aspects you can expect to improve upon in a typical session:

• Physical relief from tension release in the body.

• Recognition of physical holding patterns which translate to unsupportive belief systems.

• Release of impulsive reactions allowing for movement towards healthy responses.

• Releasing old wounds, by dropping into feelings and processing emotions.

  Depending on the issue, this work typically takes 5 -10 sessions before major shifts occur. One of my clients reported major shifts after just 2 sessions.
