SOMATIC EXPERIENCING
Unlocking Your Healing Potential Through Somatic Experiencing
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a gentle, talk-based therapy with opportunities for supportive touch. It focuses on the nervous system, helping your body release stored stress and restore balance, safety, and ease. Instead of only talking about experiences, SE works with the body to support completion and settling of natural stress responses.
SE may benefit anyone who feels the effects of trauma, anxiety, burnout, chronic tension, or chronic pain. It also supports people who feel disconnected from their body and want to develop greater resilience, steadiness, and nervous system regulation.
What to Expect
Sessions move at your pace and are always guided by your comfort. Through gentle conversation and simple body-awareness practices—with supportive touch when appropriate—you’ll explore your system’s signals in safe, manageable ways. These small, intentional steps create opportunities for healing, reconnection, and more balanced wellbeing over time. Every session is collaborative and supportive, allowing you to find steadiness at a rhythm that suits your system.
