Welcome to
Back To Your Body -
Online Somatic Therapy
We offer gentle body-based therapy to adults and couples navigating nervous system dysregulation and trauma.
Here, we meet you with compassion and care for the overwhelm, and the emotional and relational wounds your body holds.
What Brings You Here?
You might look fine on the outside, but inside, you may feel:
● disconnected from your body and stuck in your head
● bothered by physical symptoms that won’t go away
● burned out, chronically tired and sleeping poorly
● anxious, reactive or highly sensitive when everything feels too much
● trapped in a loop of old survival patterns of Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn
● struggling to feel safe in relationships or manage relational difficulties
The truth is, you are not new to healing and not starting from zero:
You’ve done yoga, breathwork, meditation… you name it. You may have been in talk therapy for a while, and you have a good awareness of your patterns.
But you are still struggling.
You are sensing that your body is keeping the score, and you don’t want to ignore it. Your intuition tells you that somatic healing might be the key to letting go of the stress and trauma your body carries.
If it sounds like you, you are in the right place.
How Somatic Therapy Can Help
Somatic therapy reconnects you with your body’s wisdom, helping your nervous system find safety and come out of the survival state.
It’s not about reliving the past or retelling the story. It’s about noticing what is present in you right now and allowing the healing to unfold, while being seen and supported.
Body-based approaches like Somatic Experiencing ® (SE) meet you where you are, gently guiding you back to your body so you can gradually process and release what you’ve been holding inside. You’ll begin to feel more resilient, peaceful, alive and connected both within yourself and in your relationships.
The wonderful part is: your body already knows how to heal. Sometimes, it just needs help to feel safe enough to do that.

Our speciality:
Somatic Therapy For Single Traumatic Events And Repeated Trauma
Shock Trauma
If you have experienced a major surgery, car accident, natural disaster or physical abuse, your nervous system might still be in a state of shock or hypervigilance. We can help you come out of this frozen or reactive state and rediscover a sense of safety in your body, wholeness and agency.
Attachment and Developmental Trauma
If you notice that wounds from your childhood resurface in your daily life or affect your current relationships, early attachment and developmental trauma might be the reason. In our sessions, we offer a consistent space, attuned presence and guidance so you can start to heal those early ruptures, reclaim your embodied sense of self and build a secure connection with yourself and others.
Generational, Collective & Systemic Trauma
You may have done your personal healing, but sensing that the challenges you’re facing go beyond your individual experience. If so, we will support you in working through those inherited and collective wounds within you to find strength and resilience for yourself and generations to come.
Let's make sure we are a good fit.
Who We Work With
You are longing for change, but not looking for a quick ‘fix’ or for someone to fix you. Deep down, you wish the healing were faster and not so hard, but you also know that deep transformation takes time and effort. You see the value of intentional and focused therapy that invites you to grow and change, but you don’t want it to last forever.
•
You might have been searching for a solution on your own or with the help of others for quite a while. Now you’ve come to a point where you want to explore your inner world through your body – something that, perhaps, has been missing from your healing, and you need guidance in doing so.
•
Or maybe something really intense happened recently that stirred up overwhelming feelings or bodily sensations, and you are looking for help to process them and calm your nervous system.
If that's you, we are glad you are here.
