Somatic therapy focuses on the connection between your mind and body. If you feel stuck in patterns that talking alone hasn’t shifted, working with the body can create deeper, lasting change. I offer somatic therapy in Nevada City for clients who want to better understand and regulate their nervous system.
Why the body matters
Trauma, stress, and emotional experiences are stored in the body, not just the mind.
You might notice:
- Chronic tension or tightness
- Feeling disconnected from your body
- Emotional overwhelm that comes “out of nowhere”
- Difficulty calming down, even when you try
What somatic therapy looks like
Somatic therapy is gentle and collaborative. We might:
- Track sensations in your body
- Notice patterns of activation and shutdown
- Practice grounding and regulation techniques
- Build capacity to stay present with your experience
Slowing down to heal
This work isn’t about pushing through—it’s about slowing down and listening to what your body is communicating.
