Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma, that restores connection to one’s authentic self, wholeness, and aliveness.
Sometimes in life we can feel stuck in patterns that don’t make sense but that we just can’t seem to change. Do you feel like you're on high alert for signs of danger, feeling anxious? Or do you feel emotionally flat, only half alive? When you feel upset, do you find yourself with your back up, ready to fight? Do you feel like running away, escaping the situation? Do you find yourself frozen and collapsing, not able to act?
Trauma and chronic stress can keep your nervous system locked in a fight-flight-freeze response and block you from experiencing your deepest sense of well-being. These stress patterns can interfere with physical health and emotional wellness.
As a SE Practitioner, I support you to unwind these patterns and resource the inner wisdom of your body for healing and transformation.
I can help you rewire these limiting patterns and regulate your nervous system, giving you more choice in how you want to act and relate to others. You can learn how to be more calm, centered, and strong when you want to be, and create and maintain healthier boundaries. You can feel more alive, more able to handle the highs and lows of life, and more present in your body.
SE is a gentle, respectful, and compassionate way to approach and renegotiate trauma of all kinds.
Through using the felt sense and body awareness it is possible to transform the ways we connect with ourselves, others, and our environment. By slowing down and listening to the language of the nervous system, we can access the wisdom of the body to restore equilibrium and grow resilience.

Through tending to the body and the nervous system, Somatic Experiencing can support you to develop an awareness of:
How to integrate trauma
How your thoughts and emotions relate to your inner body responses and sensations
An expanded range of life experiences & choice
An embodied sense of SAFETY and sense of SELF
Resources that nurture and soothe you
The language & wisdom of your body
Reaching out for support can be daunting, and my intention is to make the process as easeful as possible. If you’d like to connect for a free 15-minute consultation or if you’d like to book an initial session, contact me and I will get back to you to set up a time.
