Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing is a method of healing that allows one to experience their body in the present moment. It can resolve symptoms of stress, shock, and trauma that accumulate in our bodies. It can helps us release, recover, and become more resilient, allowing the body to find its natural rhythm again. My work is grounded in presence, compassion, and curiosity, inviting you to slow down, listen deeply, and honor your body’s own pace of healing.

About me
My path to Somatic Experiencing began through my own healing journey. I started with cognitive therapy but noticed how my body was still holding pain and tension, even as I processed mentally. This led me toward meditation, mindfulness, and eventually, somatic work. Through these practices, I learned that true healing involves both mind and body, and that our bodies carry wisdom waiting to be felt and understood. This personal exploration awakened a passion for helping others reconnect with their own bodies as a source of healing and inner knowing.

I employ a diverse range of tools designed to safely navigate and process the trauma stored within the body, fostering healing and resilience. Your healing journey is personal, and I am here support you every step of the way.
AN INVITATION TO A BRAVE SPACE
Together we will create brave space
Because there is no such thing as a “safe space”
We exist in the real world
We all carry scars and we have all caused wounds.
In this space
We seek to turn down the volume of the outside world.
We amplify voices that fight to be heard elsewhere,
We call each other to more truth and love
We have the right to start somewhere and continue to grow.
We have the responsibility to examine what we think we know.
We will not be perfect.
This space will not be perfect.
It will not always be what we wish it to be
But
It will be our brave space together,
And
We will work on it side by side.
