Coming Home To The Body
At the heart of all healing is a return—to presence, to the breath, to the body, to a deeper truth within.
Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-based approach to healing trauma, stress, and overwhelm. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, it honors the intelligence of the nervous system and its natural capacity to heal when given time, space, and compassionate attention.
In our work together, we don’t need to relive the story of what happened. Instead, we listen deeply to the body’s quiet language—sensations, impulses, images—and allow the innate rhythms of restoration to guide the process.
This is not about fixing you. This is about remembering who you are beneath the survival strategies. It’s about becoming more fully alive.
We live in a world that often pulls us out of ourselves—into urgency, into disconnection, into survival mode. Somatic Experiencing invites us to slow down and turn inward. Healing begins not in thinking more, but in feeling safely again.

By tuning in to the body in small, manageable ways, the nervous system begins to unwind old patterns. Trauma stored in the body—whether from years ago or just yesterday—can begin to shift.
We work slowly, respectfully, and always in collaboration with what feels right to you.
