Overview
Somatic healing trusts the body as storyteller. Through sensation, breath, movement, and mindful awareness, you process stress that talk alone cannot reach. The pace is slow on purpose: safety first, then titration, then integration.
How it works
A practitioner guides attention into felt sense, tracks activation, and helps you complete protective responses gently. Sessions may include subtle movement, boundary exercises, or rest. You leave with practices that keep the body in the conversation.
