What is Somatic Therapy?

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a gentle yet profound therapeutic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of the body and mind. We acknowledge that emotional and psychological experiences are not solely confined to the mind but are also stored within the body and nervous system. By utilizing a variety of somatic modalities, we support your system’s innate organic intelligence to clue us into the nervous system, body’s sensations, movements, and patterns. By supporting nervous system regulation and mindfulness, we cultivate the ability to access places in the subconscious that often find us stuck and dissatisfied and repeating old patterns. Utilizing a somatic therapy lens that sees all aspects of your experience as important information, we help you to access and process these stored experiences, allowing for deep healing and transformation.
