Premium Somatic Therapy to
Heal Your Nervous System
Trusted by Clients at:
Somatic therapy is an evidence-based alternative to talk therapy that shifts how your nervous system operates.
Our somatic tools teach your body how to shift from states reflecting survival (fight, flight, freeze and fawn) to states reflecting safety (rest and flow). This metabolizes any residue of trauma and restores your nervous system to its full robust capacity.
Once you feel good in your body, your natural intelligence comes online and good things start to happen in all areas of life.
Our somatic therapy was developed by training personally with:

The Beyond Approach
Somatic therapy doesn’t have to be mysterious or “woo-woo.”
Talk therapies often describe the issue without actually shifting it, which can feel like talking in circles.
That is because stress, anxiety and pain are rooted at the body level where unprocessed emotion, trauma, and life energy have become stuck.
We treat the core process of nervous system dysregulation directly. Evidence shows that our modalities are effective in person and online
In somatic sessions you can expect:
-
Healing begins with a safe and supportive connection. We work at your pace without rushing or pushing.
(This stage applies relational and person-centered therapies)
-
We build a shared understanding of how your symptoms operate and what keeps them in place today. In the process, we meet your protective parts that guard emotional burdens and unprocessed losses and we map out what needs to happen in order to heal.
(This stage applies Internal Family Systems & psychodynamic therapies)
-
Inside every session, we use focused somatic techniques to get to the root of your symptoms.
You'll learn how to listen, really listen, to the signals your body is sending.
This awareness work allows blocked energy to discharge and restores you to a baseline of restful alertness and natural motivation and energy. This state becomes a home base you can keep coming back to.
Exercises include:
State awareness training
Down-regulation & up-regulation–through breath, sound, self-touch & movement
Restoration of boundaries, voice & healthy aggression

You may not realize your pain, stress, anxiety & burnout can be shifted in a repeatable & reliable way.
