Beginning something new can feel uncomfortable.

What to expect from your somatic therapy experience

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
