The Beyond Approach

Somatic therapy doesn’t have to be mysterious or “woo-woo.”

Talk therapies often describe the issue without fixing it, or they attempt what can’t be done, e.g., thinking your way out of anxiety. It can often feel like talking in circles without anything changing.

That is because stress, anxiety & pain are rooted at the body level where unprocessed emotion, trauma, & life energy have become stuck. 

We treat the core process of nervous system dysregulation directly. Evidence shows that our modalities are effective in person & online

In somatic sessions you can expect:

You’ll learn to integrate these tools into work, relationships, exercise and sleep to create a positive upward spiral that supports long-term resilience.

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

Somatic Therapy Techniques and tools for nervous system regulation in Los Angeles California

Story follows state

The story that appears true depends on the state of your nervous system.

When you are dysregulated, hopelessness & despair prevail. When you are well-regulated, hope & optimism appear naturally.

By helping your body find safety and connection, your perspective on life shifts and your whole identity updates. You’ll start getting reflections that “something has changed” and that you are “lighter” or “easier” to be around. This energetic shift is magnetic and attracts good people to your cause.
