Somatic Experiencing ®

“Not only is trauma curable, the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening- a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation.” - Peter Levine

Why Somatic Experiencing?

When trauma or chronic stress remains unresolved, it impacts not only your sense of self but also your relationships. You may find yourself:

  • Anxious, disconnected, or emotionally overwhelmed

  • Stuck in repeating patterns, unable to shift

  • Longing for intimacy, but blocked by old wounds or reactivity

Somatic Experiencing® works at the root — helping the nervous system release trapped survival energy so you can return to balance, presence, and connection.

How SE Works

In nature, animals instinctively discharge survival energy after stress. Humans, however, often get “stuck” in fight, flight, or freeze responses. Over time, this unresolved energy fuels anxiety, numbness, or reactivity — especially in relationships.

Somatic Experiencing® helps you:

  • Discharge stored survival energy

  • Build tolerance for difficult sensations and emotions

  • Restore your nervous system’s natural rhythm of balance and regulation

The process is gentle, collaborative, and deeply effective. You don’t have to re-live trauma — we work in small, manageable steps, letting your system heal at the pace it’s ready for.

SE in Relationships

Unresolved trauma often resurfaces in intimacy — triggering conflict, shutdown, or emotional distance. SE provides tools to:

  • Heal attachment wounds

  • Break reactive cycles

  • Rebuild trust and safety in relationships

  • Open deeper intimacy, communication, and connection

When the nervous system comes back into balance, relationships naturally shift toward compassion, clarity, and presence.

Who Can Benefit?

Somatic Experiencing® is for anyone seeking to:

  • Heal past trauma and attachment wounds

  • Navigate relationship challenges

  • Release emotional or physical pain linked to stress

  • Develop deeper emotional awareness and regulation

  • Cultivate presence, authenticity, and spiritual awakening

What to Expect in a Session

  • Orientation: We begin with what feels most present for you.

  • Awareness: I’ll gently guide you to notice subtle sensations, shifts, and impulses.

  • Integration: We work in small steps (“titration”), allowing your system to release stress safely and sustainably.

Sessions are collaborative, paced, and trauma-informed. Instead of forcing breakthroughs, we create the conditions for your body’s innate intelligence to do what it knows: heal.

The Promise of This Work

Through SE, you can expect to:

  • Feel calmer, more grounded, and at home in your body

  • Break free from cycles of anxiety, reactivity, or numbness

  • Experience greater intimacy and connection with others

  • Live with more clarity, creativity, and joy
