THERAPY TYPES
Somatic Body-Oriented Therapy
Your body remembers what your mind forgets—learn to listen.
Body-oriented therapy, also known as Somatic therapy, recognizes that our emotional health and our physical body are connected in ways beyond our immediate awarenesss
Emotions and life experiences don’t just live in our minds—they’re stored in our bodies too.
This stress retention in our body can lead to a variety of issues, including sleep disturbances, organ functioning, and physical aches and pains.
This approach helps you tune into physical sensations, tension, and patterns that may be connected to stress, trauma, and emotional pain.
By gently bringing awareness to the body, healing can happen through feeling, releasing, and reconnecting with your body on a deeper level.
