Somatic Bodywork

Work with your nervous system—not against it

​

Somatic Bodywork is the intersection of bodywork and Somatic Experiencing™. These sessions are grounded in listening to the nervous system, attuned touch and skillful curiosity.

Whether you’re living with chronic pain, navigating injury or aging, feeling stuck in stress patterns, or simply wanting a more intelligent and compassionate relationship with your body—this work meets you at the level where change actually happens: the nervous system.

This is not corrective exercise. It’s not talk therapy. It’s not life coaching.

It’s a slow and precise approach to movement, touch and self‑regulation that helps your system relearn safety, choice, and ease.

I meet you where you are. We start there.

Who this work is for

Private Somatic sessions may be a good fit if you:

• Live with chronic pain, tension, or recurring injury

• Feel stuck in patterns of shutdown, hypervigilance, or overwhelm

• Are aging and want movement that supports longevity rather than performance

• Have tried yoga, PT, or other modalities with limited or temporary results

• Are a teacher or practitioner wanting to work more skillfully with your own nervous system

• Have symptoms of stress, trauma patterns, and are ready to see something shift

What a session looks like

I offer 60 min or 90 min sessions. All sessions are fully clothed, include dialogue and the potential for touch or movement. Each session is completely tailored to meet you exactly where you are. As we build relationship with your nervous system over time, we expect to see symptoms of stress decreasing, and your vitality and life force returning.

Our work will start with play and touching into support and ease. Funnily enough, we need relationship with these things in order to support trauma healing. Play is trauma work. Finding ease and support is trauma work.

As we continue to work together, and as we grow access to resource and being able to, “let the good in”, we grow capacity to attend to the overwhelming stuff! A core tenant of this work, is that we work at the pace of your nervous system- so nothing is every too much, too fast or too soon! It is gentle. And it is work!

We do the work together, so you don’t have to work so hard out of session.

​

I encourage you to prepare to work with me regularly for at least 6 sessions. Part of why this is supportive, is your nervous system has to feel safe- which we build through regular sessions.

Now… I invite you to check in with your body, after reading this. If you feel any sense of curiosity, of wonder, or an impulse of “yes”, or “that describes me”, and “that sounds interesting”… then I encourage you to book an Intro Call with me. It’s free, and it’s a chance to connect, for you to ask questions, and see if we truly would be a good fit for each other!
