What your body wants you to know
We often try to address our pain or tension with therapeutic exercise or talk therapy, but those approaches can overlook the part of our experience that connects the body and the mind: the nervous system. Somatic therapy offers a way to create a relationship between the nervous system, the mind and the body to create lasting change and improve your daily function and wellbeing.
Our Work
Ways We Can Work Together
Neuroplastic Remodeling
Recognizing behaviors are simply patterns that are familiar and we can rewire the brain with what we pay attention to and the actions we take.
Embodiment Healing
Learning to be present to and create a working, supportive relationship with the body to improve overall health and wellbeing
Nervous System Regulation
Learn practical ways to support your nervous system and cultivate greater capacity for safety and ease.
Pelvic Health
Addressing pelvic health concerns with a combination of traditional pelvic floor therapy and a individualized somatic approach.
You don’t have to wait for a professional to give you a diagnosis to follow your intuition
Perhaps you feel disconnected from your body.
Perhaps traditional talk therapy or traditional physical therapy has helped but you feel something is still missing
Perhaps you’re navigating stress, overwhelm, pain, or a major life transition.
Perhaps you’ve spent years being told to push through, fix the problem, or simply ‘relax’ by professionals or loved ones.
Or perhaps you’re ready to understand yourself in a different way.
There is room here for all of it.
