Somatic Psychotherapy and Mentoring

Grounded and loving support for women, queer folks, and couples who are ready to connect more deeply and freely with the innate wisdom of their bodies — and all the feelings and stories held within and around them — to build relationships that are truer, more alive, and more their own.

Body-centered counseling invites you into an intimate relationship with your inner world — through sensation, breath, movement, and presence. It’s a practice of listening closely to your body’s language, reconnecting with what’s been silenced or held for too long, and finding new ways to move, feel, and relate.

In a somatic session, we follow your body’s lead. We may track sensation, explore gentle movement, or engage in experiential practices that help loosen the grip of trauma and awaken your natural resilience. This work supports deep nervous system healing — and makes space for more aliveness, clarity, and connection.

When we unwind trauma and relational wounds from the ground up — through the body — we awaken the deep power we hold to live, love, and create with more vitality and meaning.
