What is Somatic Therapy?

​

Reconnect With Your Body’s Quiet Signals

Somatic therapy offers a compassionate way to slow down and notice what your body has been holding. Instead of pushing through stress or staying caught in the mind, this approach creates space for sensations, emotions, and inner responses to be understood and softened at your pace.

You don’t need to have a polished explanation or even the right words.
Your body can guide the process.

Gentle practices like grounding, breathwork, movement, and body awareness help you reconnect with safety, steadiness, and your inner rhythm. Somatic sessions can support you through anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, or moments when you feel disconnected or numb.

Introductory Somatic Session

​

Not sure where to begin?

An introductory session offers a soft starting point — a space to explore your needs, curiosities, and comfort with mind-body therapy. You can ask questions, experience a few simple somatic practices, and see whether this approach feels right for your system.

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.
