Somatic Therapy

Our bodies hold on to all sorts of stress - mental, emotional, and physical. Often even after a trauma or injury has healed or feels resolved, a memory of it can linger in the body, giving rise to all sorts of hard-to-trace symptoms. This stored stress can prevent the body from fully healing and prove a major frustration due its difficulty to detect and resolve.

Somatic therapy is particularly useful for anyone with “stubborn” painful symptoms that haven’t resolved with traditional physical treatment strategies, and anyone who has had a stressful life and is now dealing with persistent health issues.

Somatic therapy helps the body and mind enter into a deep state of relaxation, from which the body can recalibrate from past stressors and traumas and fully heal itself. We work with the body using gentle movements to mobilize areas that have become stuck or stagnant, and also by using specific questions to uncover the origins of symptoms. You can think of it as a guided, moving meditation!

After my first treatment I noticed amazing results immediately. I had more flexibility throughout my upper torso and my entire body resulting in an immediate improvement in my walking, my ability to stand more upright and my overall well being. I continued my treatments and had even more cumulative results not only on a physical level but actually experienced some very profound healing on a spiritual level; it is my belief that this helped healed my cancer as well. I remain cancer free and my body remains much looser and more flexible.
