SOMATIC
WORK
Trauma is stored as a pattern, not a story.
Trauma is stored as a pattern, not a story. This work addresses the places where stress, grief, and old survival live in your muscles and nervous system. It helps you release what the body remembers, reconnect with your physical self, and cultivate genuine safety inside your own skin. Sometimes healing requires less talking and more listening to what the body has been saying the whole time.
Somatic Work Is Best For You If...
01
You understand your patterns intellectually and your body has not received the memo. The insight is complete. The clenched jaw, the held breath, and the braced shoulders are unchanged.
02
You live from the neck up. Highly capable, highly cognitive, and largely absent from the body you are carrying around. You are not sure what you feel because you stopped checking.
03
Talking has taken you as far as it goes. You are ready for a different door into the same room.
Somatic Work May Include
Nervous system tracking and regulation
Titrated work with activation, freeze, and collapse
Breath, orientation, and grounding practices
Boundary and defensive response work
Interoception training, learning to read your own signals again
Movement, gesture, and completion of interrupted responses
Integration of what surfaces into daily life
Your nervous system learned something once and never got the update. This work is not about forcing release. It is about building enough safety that your system finally chooses to let go on its own.

Reach Out
You send a note through the consultation form. Tell me what is bringing you here and what you have already tried. This is not an application to be judged. It is the first honest conversation.

Consultation
We meet by video for a real conversation. I want to understand what is actually happening, not just what it looks like from outside. You will get a clear read on whether this is the right work, the right timing, and the right person. If it is not, I will tell you and point you somewhere better.

Intake and Design
If we move forward, we go deep on history, nervous system patterns, and goals. From that, I design your container. You will know exactly what we are doing, why, and what the arc looks like from here to the end.
Ways To Work With Me
01CONTAINERS
Ongoing somatic work across months, either on its own or woven into depth therapy. The nervous system changes through repetition, not revelation.
02INTENSIVES
Concentrated embodiment work over a weekend or several days. Enough time for your system to actually settle rather than just visit.
03RETREATS
Immersive, destination based work. Land, time, and a body finally allowed to be somewhere.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. This is nervous system work, not manual therapy or massage. All sessions are conducted remotely, which works because the instrument is your own attention to your own body. I guide, you track, we work with what arises.
-
Yes, and often better than people expect. You are in your own space, in your own body, with no one touching you and nothing to brace against. For a lot of clients that is precisely what makes the work possible.
-
Less than you might expect, and more than it looks like. We slow down. I ask what you notice. We follow a sensation, a tightness, an impulse to move or push or turn away, and we let it finish. It is quiet work and it changes things.
-
No. We work in small doses on purpose. Flooding your system with the original event is not healing, it is repetition. The whole method is built around staying inside your window of tolerance.
-
That is extremely common and it is not a failure. Numbness is itself information, usually the residue of a very good protection. We start there. Learning to feel again is often the first six weeks of the work.
-
Yes. Somatic work runs alongside trauma therapy, coaching, and psychedelic assisted work, and it makes all three more effective. The body is where the change has to land regardless of which door you came through.
