Therapy involves a deep inquiry into your past events and how they relate to your current state, along with prescribed modalities to improve your relationships and general wellbeing. Somatic coaching is a deep focus on the current state of your body and learning how to connect to your nervous system and create patterns of regulation and connection.

It is not necessary to dig deep into your known history during sessions, especially if your body is not ready. We mostly work with widening your ability to feel safe and supported. It’s also ok if you would like to talk about it, however, we do not rest in those stories to unravel your past as it relates to you now, that is reserved for outside therapeutic work.

Each and every session could be different. If you are not comfortable with certain modalities, at any time, you are more than welcome to opt out. These sessions are guided by the current state of your nervous system.

This is valuable information and a perfect starting point. Lack of sensation, or not knowing what you are feeling is a very common nervous system response. A Flourishing session is the perfect space to begin exploring where to begin connecting and feeling.

Whenever there is an opportunity to work with your nervous system and trauma, there is often a worry that big emotions will arise. Your safety and wellbeing of are my highest priority. You will never be expected to push beyond the capacity of your personal threshold. Sessions are created to allow space to gently explore how you feel in each moment. There are many practices we use as emotions ebb and flow to maintain your personal felt sense of safety.

Let’s start slow and see how you feel. While I recommend the minimum of 4 sessions to find your flow, it’s not mandatory. This space is meant for you to personalize your own connection to your nervous system and healing. You can start with one session to get a sense of what it’s like to work with a somatic coach, and we can go from there. If you have further questions, please feel free to reach out so we can discuss what you are looking for.

Each session might be different, depending on various factors, all determined by how your nervous system feels, and your desired goal/goals. The general components are: Checking in to find a good idea of your current nervous system state. Working with the “felt sense” and titrating between sensation, always coming back to your cues of safety. Breath work. Some movement such as yoga, stretching, vagal toning exercises (nothing too strenuous). We often end with Reiki for time to integrate and so you leave your session feeling calm and steady.
