Somatic Experiencing® Therapy
A body-led path to release, resilience, and reconnection.
Understanding Somatic Experiencing®
Reconnecting with the body’s innate intelligence.
Somatic Experiencing® is a gentle, body-centred approach that addresses trauma, stress, and emotional imbalance by working directly with the nervous system and the felt sense. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, this approach moves away from traditional talk therapy, focusing instead on the sensations and energy held within the fascia, muscles, organs, and deeper tissues of the body.
This work acknowledges that trauma is not just a memory—it is a physiological imprint. By gently guiding awareness to the body’s internal landscape, we support the natural process of introspection, self-regulation, discharge, and healing.
Somatic work is not about analysing the past. It’s about being in the present—allowing the body to complete what was left unresolved with curiosity, presence, patience, and deep respect.
Therapeutic Approach and Offerings
A grounded, intuitive space for embodied healing.
As a Somatic Experiencing® therapist, my approach is rooted in presence, patience, and listening. Sessions are paced by the body itself—never rushed, never forced. We work with what arises naturally: subtle shifts in breath, temperature, movement, and sensation.
Alongside Somatic Experiencing®, I draw from Family Constellation Therapy, a systemic healing modality founded by Bert Hellinger. This approach supports the resolution of inherited trauma, entanglements, and emotional patterns through practices rooted in the Orders of Love, morphic resonance, guided affirmations, and systemic observation.
Each session is a co-regulated space—designed to honour your body’s wisdom, restore inner coherence, and create a felt sense of safety and sovereignty.
The Body, Our Truest Storyteller
Where memory lives beyond words.
The human body is a sacred archive. Before we had language, we had sensation. Every unspoken fear, joy, injury, and longing is recorded within the tissues of the body.
Our modern lives often centre around mental narratives. We analyse, judge, suppress—but our bodies remember. The nervous system, shaped by experience, learns how to protect us. But sometimes, it gets stuck there—looping in defence patterns long after the danger has passed.
In this work, we begin by slowing down. We honour what the body is holding. Not to fix, but to witness. To feel. And in that feeling, healing begins.
Wisdom in Movement
Aligning posture, breath, and presence.
Movement is not just physical—it is energetic. Each breath, each shift in posture, each grounded stance communicates directly with the nervous system.
Informed by yogic traditions and modern somatic insights, I integrate subtle movement, breathwork, and stillness into therapeutic practice. These are not exercises for performance, but practices for reclaiming presence.
As we move with intention and awareness, we open space for energy to shift, for emotions to rise, and for the body to rediscover what ease feels like. The body leads. We simply listen.

Closing Invitation
A return to the body is a return to the self.
This work is an unfolding—a process of returning to your own body as a place of safety, wisdom, and wholeness. Whether you're navigating stress, trauma, or simply seeking to feel more fully alive, Somatic Experiencing® offers a pathway into deeper presence and lasting transformation.
Healing doesn’t always come with big releases or dramatic shifts. Often, it begins in the quiet—when we pause, breathe, and remember: the body already knows.

A welcoming guide to Somatic Experiencing® Therapy.
“Something feels off, but I can’t quite put it into words.”
Even when words are out of reach, the body continues to speak—through breath, sensation, and quiet signals of aliveness.“I feel anxious, overstimulated—or like I’ve completely shut down.”
Stress doesn’t always make sense to the mind, but the body holds the clues. In Somatic Experiencing®, we begin to recognise these patterns—and gently find our way back to balance and presence.“Sometimes I react so strongly, and I don’t understand why.”
Triggers often arise from old survival responses, not logic. Somatic Experiencing® invites us to meet them with safety and curiosity—creating space to respond, not just react.“I often say yes when I mean no—and it leaves me feeling depleted.”
We often silence our inner signals to keep the peace. Somatic Experiencing® helps you reconnect with your body’s natural boundaries—so you can sense what feels right, and choose from a place of clarity and care.“Even when I’m in bed, my mind won’t slow down.”
When the nervous system stays on high alert, rest feels out of reach. Somatic Experiencing® gently supports the body in settling—making space for real, restorative ease to return.“My shoulders, neck, and back are always tight, like I’m bracing for something.”
Stress lives in the body, long after the moment has passed. In Somatic Experiencing®, we meet tension with curiosity—not force—and the body releases when it feels ready.“There’s grief or anger somewhere inside, but I can’t quite reach it.”
Big emotions can feel like too much—or nothing at all. Somatic Experiencing® offers a steady, supported path to meet what’s there, one small step at a time.“I feel flat—like I’m just moving through the motions, not really here.”
Numbness is the body’s way of protecting you from too much, too soon. Somatic Experiencing® gently invites you back to life—through quiet sparks of sensation and the slow return of aliveness.
A Gentle Return to Wholeness and Safety
You don’t need a big story, a diagnosis, or the right words to begin. Somatic Experiencing® meets you exactly where you are—in the rhythm of your breath, the weight of your body, the quiet signals that so often go unnoticed.
This work is subtle, but deeply transformative. It offers a gentle place to land—a space to listen, soften, and slowly return to yourself.
