Beginning something new can feel uncomfortable.

What to expect from your somatic therapy experience

Start Here:

1. Initial Free Consultation

We’ll meet on the phone for an open, relaxed conversation. You can share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with, giving us both a feel for how we’ll work together.

2.Learn the Somatic Approach

In our sessions, we’ll take a gentle, step-by-step approach. You’ll learn to slow down, connect with bodily sensations, and gradually integrate new tools and practices that feel right for you.

Together, we’ll create a safe space to process emotions and address past experiences, approaching challenging emotions at a pace that feels manageable.

3.Healing & Integration
