Somatic Therapists in Georgina, ON
We'lI integrate somatic awareness, mindfulness, and narrative therapy—because our bodies and our stories both hold essential pieces of our healing.
Sex and relationships are a core part of who we are - and often some of the most challenging parts of our lives. Healing begins when we can feel safe in our own bodies. When we reconnect with that sense of felt safety—physically, emotionally, relationally—it becomes possible to explore pleasure, identity, desire, and connection in a way that feels empowering and true to you. People see me when they are feeling disconnected from their partners - and often themselves, looking to heal from sexual trauma, explore kinks, 2SLGBTQ+ concerns or considering non-monogamy.

I like using Expressive Arts, Narrative, Somatic and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive techniques.
It can be hard to know who you are. We base everything we do off of our personal values and the experiences we've had. Sometimes you can feel lost, not knowing where to go next, not knowing who you are. Maybe you're wanting to change careers because you're not enjoying the daily routine, maybe you find yourself with unsatisfied about who you are and who society wants you to be, or maybe you've followed your family's ways for so long that you are left wondering who you are as an individual. How do we know who our authentic selves are? What does it mean to live our authentic lives?

Are you someone who seems to be managing on the outside, but inside feels overwhelmed, burnt out, or stuck in old emotional patterns? Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, high-functioning adults who are used to caring for others, pushing through stress, or holding themselves to very high standards. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, self-criticism, relationship strain, or a sense of disconnection from yourself and what you truly need. I offer trauma-informed therapy that helps you slow down, make sense of your experiences, and develop more sustainable ways of coping and living.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
