Somatic Psychotherapy for Individuals and Relationships

Your embodied existence is beautiful

and you are so worthy of love, care, and rest.

Learning to love our bodies in this fast-paced, technologically advanced, western society is HARD. Learning to listen to our bodies, to hear their desires, their pains and needs can be even harder.

I am someone who knows first-hand what it is like to have a confusing and uncomfortable relationship with one’s body. To feel overwhelmed with sensations and symptoms, or not be able to process the many changes our bodies experience over a lifetime. To have received messages or beliefs that your embodied experience is:

a burden

not ‘normal’

too sensitive

too much

not enough

not worthy

too weak

or that what we have experienced in our bodies wasn't real, or valid.

If any of these phrases resonate with you, you have made it to the right page!

Through my own personal and professional healing journey, I have learned that our bodies want to come back into balance. With the right support, compassion, and resources we can:

  • Regulate and rewire our nervous systems from fight/flight/freeze to experiencing more ease.

  • Increase our capacity to breath through discomfort

  • Increase energy flow

  • Heal shame

  • Create more space for joy, creativity, playfulness

  • decrease physical discomfort and pain

  • More strongly advocate for our needs and boundaries

  • Increase our self-esteem and confidence

  • Embrace our authentic selves

  • Feel more deeply fulfilled and connected with in our relationships.
