The body-mind connection

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach to therapy that recognizes the connection between the mind and body. It focuses on the experiences, sensations, and movements of your body as a way to promote healing and well-being. Somatic therapy brings about the healing of unresolved emotional or psychological issues so that deeper healing can occur.

In somatic therapy we explore bodily sensations, movements, and patterns of tension or discomfort. Through mindfulness and body awareness techniques our attention is brought to bodily experiences in the present moment. This can involve noticing sensations, tracking emotions, or exploring physical movements to understand where emotional blocks are present in your body.

Learn to regulate your emotions

We will use movement, energy awareness and guided exercises to help you release stored tension, trauma, or stress held within your body. By accessing and integrating these experiences, somatic therapy aims to restore your body's natural capacity for self-regulation and healing.

Somatic therapy is often effective in treating a range of difficulties, including trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, and stress-related disorders. It can provide you with a deeper understanding of your body, enhance self-awareness, and support the development of healthier ways of relating to yourself and others.

Integration of trauma

Somatic and body based therapies offers a unique and valuable approach to therapy by incorporating the wisdom of the body into the healing process, fostering a more integrated and balanced state of being.
