What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that recognizes the deep connection between the body and mind—especially when it comes to stress, trauma, and emotional experiences.

Instead of focusing only on thoughts or talking through issues, somatic therapy gently guides you to notice what’s happening in your body—like tension, breath patterns, or physical sensations. These body cues often hold valuable information about past experiences, emotions, and unmet needs.

By increasing body awareness and learning how to safely release stored tension or trauma, somatic therapy can help you feel more grounded, present, and connected to yourself. It’s especially helpful for healing from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and patterns that feel stuck on a deeper level.
