Make it stand out

  • Most of us are told to think our way through struggles and uncomfortable emotions. We now know that sometimes it's not enough to think or talk our way out of trauma. We need to have a body based approach

    Soma (Of the Body) Somatic therapy recognizes that our nervous system, posture, gut, muscles and even our breath hold stories our mind alone can’t explain. By honoring and noticing what the body's wisdom is telling us through bodily sensations we can open new pathways for healing and rewiring. 

    As a certified somatic therapy practitioner, somatic attachment therapy guide, and trauma-informed coach, I help clients reconnect with their bodies so they can release anxiety, regulate emotions, and build safer, more secure relationships with themselves and others. Somatic attachment therapy focuses on how early attachment patterns live in the body and how we can create new, healthier ways of relating through nervous system regulation and embodied awareness.

  • Talk therapy can be incredibly helpful for understanding patterns, gaining insight, and finding words for your story. At the same time, many forms of trauma live in the limbic part of the brain rather than the cognitive part. As Bessel van der Kolk describes in his book The Body Keeps the Score, this is why symptoms like rage, anxiety, nail biting, disassociation, restlessness, or phobias may persist and triggered in certain situations even when we had all the talk therapy available to us.

    Somatic therapy bridges that gap. It works directly with the body and nervous system, teaching you how to regulate in the moment instead of only analyzing the past. Talk therapy helps you understand. Somatic therapy helps you release the stuck trauma.

  • A somatic practitioner guides you to tune into your body’s signals and responses, drawing on principles from polyvagal theory. Practitioners support clients in coming into their bodies, allowing space for uncomfortable emotions and building resilience over time by learning to stay present with them. Somatic work helps those who have unprocessed trauma gradually work through it and complete the unfinished cycles of anxiety. 

    This work includes learning to regulate through somatic exercises such as grounding, orienting, breath-work, and gentle movement, which help shift the body from fight‑flight or shutdown back into a state of safety and connection. This might look like slowing down your breath, noticing sensations, or practicing gentle exercises that bring your nervous system back into balance.

    Somatic practitioners often integrate tools like:

    • Nervous system regulation exercises

    • Grounding and mindfulness practices

    • Gentle movement and breath-work

    • Exploring attachment patterns

    • Techniques to release anxiety in the moment of panic

    • Techniques for releasing stored stress and trauma

    The goal isn’t to “fix” you but to create a safe space where your body can relearn calm, resilience, and connection.

  • Both life coaching and trauma-informed coaching support personal growth, but they are not the same.

    • Life coaching services are future-focused. They help you set goals, build confidence, and move toward the life you want. The emphasis is on motivation, accountability, and creating action plans.

    • Trauma-informed coaching recognizes that past experiences, including childhood trauma, can affect how you think, feel, and act today. This approach is more sensitive to triggers and pacing. It combines practical coaching tools with an awareness of the nervous system, attachment patterns, and emotional safety.

  • Item descripbeyond “feeling better.” They help you live differently—more present, more connected, and more resilient.Whether you’re working on healing childhood wounds, navigating attachment challenges, or feeling stuck in old patterns, somatic therapy can help you. There are several modalities and these are some of them that I incorporate in the mental gym as well as in my 1:1 sessions:

    • Polyvagal-Informed Practices

    • Breathwork techniques

    • Trauma Release Exercises (TRE)

    • Craniosacral therapy (in person only)

    • Tapping (EFT)

    • Sound Healing and Vibration Work

    *EMDR and Brain Spotting is a very safe and effective way to process trauma that I am a fan of and would highly recommend anyone in need of healing generational trauma to seek this type of therapy. The benefits of trauma therapy and attachment therapy extendtion
