Somatic Therapy
Embodied Processing
Embodied Processing - a somatic nervous system regulation method.
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing.
Somatic therapy incorporates techniques working with physical awareness, movement, breath, and sensation to help release stored tension, trauma, and stress held in the nervous system. The word "somatic" comes from the Greek word soma, meaning "the living body," and this therapeutic approach honours the body as an integral part of emotional and psychological well-being.
Embodied Processing, the somatic modality I have trained in has helped me make huge shifts after experiencing the loss of my home and business to wildfires in 2017. I have also been able to process the trauma of a car accident and orthopaedic surgery. I am passionate about post traumatic growth, and helping others to move forwards in life.
By tuning into bodily sensations and patterns, somatic therapy helps individuals become more aware of how stress, trauma, or unresolved emotions show up physically. A guided somatic process like Embodied Processing can help to develop a deeper sense of self awareness, cultivate resources for regulation, and understand our nervous system in an embodied way.
Somatic therapy can be especially beneficial for anyone dealing with anxiety, trauma, chronic pain, or disconnection from the body, offering a holistic path toward healing and self-awareness.
I know from my own personal experience, this modality can help us process and digest difficult and challenging life experiences in a safe and effective way.
What to Expect
An Embodied Processing session is a gentle, client-led experience that supports you to connect with and process emotions, sensations, and patterns held within the body and nervous system.
This work is grounded in trauma-informed principles, with a focus on building safe resource and awareness of your present-moment experience in a supported and carefully space.
It is not necessary to retell past events, or the stories, your experience in a session is always led by what feels accessible and appropriate for you at the time. This approach may be supportive for individuals seeking a body-based, holistic way of working with stress, tension, or emotional experiences. Each session is unique, and outcomes can vary from person to person.
Single Session: One session to begin exploring what it feels like to reconnect with your body. A gentle, no-pressure space, entirely at your own pace. Begin returning to your body, at your own pace, in your own time, no commitment.
Bundle of 3: Three sessions to settle in and go a little deeper. Many people find rhythm and familiarity start to build as they continue the process. Three sessions gives you room to explore, each session builds gently on the last.
Bundle of 8: The deeper work for those ready to commit to a longer journey. Eight sessions offer continuity and space for the kind of slower, more gradual work that many find meaningful. Real, lasting change lives in the body, and it takes time to get there.
Sessions are 60 minutes in duration, with approximately 50 minutes dedicated to the process. Before your first session, you’ll be invited to complete an intake form to share some background information, including your reasons for seeking support and any relevant aspects of your health and wellbeing.
Over time, some people report a greater sense of body awareness, improved capacity to respond to stress, and a deeper connection to themselves. Others may notice shifts in how they experience emotions, rest, or daily life.
These changes can unfold gradually and are not guaranteed. Sessions are available to purchase individually or in bundles of 3 or 8.
