In this work, we move slowly. Somatic therapy is not about pushing through, but listening closely. We might begin with simple somatic therapy exercises or grounding techniques to help you feel more anchored. Over time, you may start to notice where emotion lives in your body, how certain movements or breath patterns shift your state, and where old survival responses are still running the show.

Somatic release therapy doesn't mean re-living trauma, it means creating enough safety in the body to let go of what no longer needs to be held. It’s often not a linear process, and it’s never forced. Whether we’re using movement, stillness, imagery, or breath, this process honours your pace. It’s about rebuilding trust with your own system, so that healing becomes not just something you think about, but something you feel.

My approach combines clinical knowledge with deep respect for the body’s wisdom. As a psychiatric nurse practitioner trained in trauma and somatic work, I’ll help guide you through this process with steadiness, care, and attunement to your unique needs.
