Through techniques like body awareness exercises, gentle movement,
and mindful breathing, Somatic Therapy reconnects with the language of the body,
facilitating self-healing and overall well-being.
At the heart of my therapeutic practice is the concept of the Felt Sense, a kind of awareness that involves tuning into the body's sensations and intuitive wisdom. In session, we cultivate mindfulness (definition: paying attention to what is happening right now with kindness and curiosity)
and patience when we practice honoring the wisdom of the body.
This creates the conditions for healing to unfold naturally.
Bringing attention to the Felt Sense fosters emotional self-regulation.
We learn to believe and validate the body
and to trust what we hear to guide the healing process.
This is our birthright. Wisdom traditions have put a high value in embodied wisdom for millennia,
and many of us living in Western capitalist culture need a little support to find our way back to an embrace of valuing the bodyβs wisdom.
Somatic therapy is an entry point to holistic healing based on thousands of years of written tradition and millennia of oral tradition.
Somatic Therapy guides us to learn new patterns of attunement to our embodied source of knowing.
SOMATIC THERAPY
is a HOLISTIC APPROACH to healing that values the
CONNECTION between oneβs PHYSICAL SENSATIONS, inner world, and EMOTIONAL EXPERIENCES.
It is based on the understanding that the body physically holds and expresses messages through sensations and intuition.
We focus on the body's sensations and bring attention to these messages.
This simple and profound practice restores balance and promotes nervous system regulation.
