SOMATIC THERAPY | SOMATIC EXPERIENCING® 

I am currently filling my schedule from my waitlist. If you are OK to wait for an appointment and interested in being on my list, please get in touch. ​
 

Somatic Therapy is an umbrella term for therapeutic support that place the body — and our moment-to-moment experience — at the heart of the healing process. What this looks like varies widely depending on the modality and the therapist’s training, approach, and style.

 

My work is grounded in Somatic Experiencing® (SE) — a gentle, trauma-informed modality that helps release stuck patterns, integrate overwhelm (past or present), and build nervous system resilience.

​

At first glance, an SE session might look like coaching or counselling: two people sitting together and talking. But the work begins with a different kind of listening — one that turns inward. In our sessions, we bring attention to your physical sensations, body states, emotions, images, and movements, allowing your system to gently reveal what wants to be seen.

​

I support you in noticing what your body is feeling, expressing, or holding back. Through careful listening, gentle guidance, observation, and reflective feedback, I track your system and what's unfolding in the moment. Together, we build on your internal and external resources to help your nervous system settle, strengthen, and find its own direction. Along the way, we may explore movement, guided relaxation, creative practices, or co-regulating touchwork as needed.

​

This work is collaborative and client-led. You set the pace and focus. We follow what’s present and meaningful for you, working within your intentions and the natural unfolding of the process.

My work is shaped by my studies of Somatic Experiencing® (body based trauma resolution), Co-Regulating Touchwork, trauma informed practice, Embodied NonViolent Communication, 20+ years work as a Yoga Therapist/Yoga Teacher/Yoga Teacher Trainer, and my personal ongoing apprenticeship to the wisdom of the body as a source of intuition, meaning, and healing.

**Somatic therapy is a powerful adjunct support, but it is not a substitute for mental health treatment. Because emotional, psychological, and physical health are deeply interconnected, I may sometimes recommend working alongside other professionals — such as counsellors, psychotherapists, acupuncturists, herbalists, or medical practitioners**
