What is Somatic Therapy?

​

Somatic therapy supports healing by bringing awareness to the body. It explores how emotions, stress, and trauma live in the body—and how gentle, guided practices can restore a sense of safety, connection, and presence.

You don’t need to have the right words. Your body already speaks.

Somatic work can include grounding techniques, breathwork, mindful movement, body mapping, and guided inner exploration. Each session is shaped to support your unique needs and rhythms. Many people find it helps with anxiety, overwhelm, numbness, and disconnection.

Introductory Somatic Session

​

Not sure where to begin?

An introductory session is a gentle starting point where we explore your needs, goals, and curiosities around somatic work. This session offers space to ask questions, experience a few simple somatic practices, and see if this approach feels supportive.

Rooted Presence: Forest Sessions

​​

An invitation to reconnect—with yourself and with nature.

Rooted Presence sessions take place in a peaceful forest setting and are offered in both individual and group formats. These sessions combine somatic exploration with nature-based healing practices, encouraging you to slow down, listen inward, and ground in your body.

Individual sessions offer personalized, quiet support in a natural space.
Group workshops invite a shared journey of slowing down and remembering connection—with yourself, others, and the land.

Rooted Presence may include slow walking, somatic prompts, guided breathwork, sensory exploration, and space for reflection or creativity. These sessions are shaped seasonally and intuitively, drawing on the natural rhythms of the land.

​

Body Map Sessions​​

Trace your inner landscape.

Body mapping is a creative and compassionate way to explore your inner world. Using simple materials and guided prompts, we explore how emotions, memories, and experiences live within the body. You don’t need artistic skills—just a willingness to be curious.

This practice can support insight, clarity, and a deeper sense of embodiment.

Body mapping may be helpful if you feel disconnected from your body, struggle to find words for your experience, or are looking for a new way to explore inner patterns. It can also complement talk therapy or somatic counseling.
