When we experience chronic or traumatic stress, our bodies can get stuck in constant states of fight, flight, or freeze. This can leave us with chronic emotional and/or physical pain, feeling unwell, exhausted, anxious, depressed, reactive, and more. As a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), I offer a mind-body approach that helps individuals move out of fight, flight, or freeze responses. My work is rooted in the understanding that traumatic stress and childhood wounds are held in the nervous system, and it is through the body that we can heal and transform our past to become fully alive and well in the here and now.
In our sessions, we’ll work directly with your body’s wisdom to develop a felt sense of safety. Releasing any held survival energy from the past. By working with your nervous system, you will build physical and emotional resilience, strengthening your ability to bounce back from stress and step more fully into your potential and who you are meant to be.
If you’re curious about how a Somatic Experiencing approach could support you, I warmly invite you to reach out. We can start with a free, no-pressure consult to simply talk about what you’re going through and explore whether my work feels right for you.

The individual and group sessions that I offer are based on the core concepts and tools of Somatic Experiencing. Individual sessions always start with where you are in the moment and together we decide how you would like to focus the session. The session then unfolds based on your intention and what you are literally holding in your heart, mind and body.
