Somatic Therapy Rooted in Attachment – For Deep, Body-Led Healing
your body is intelligent, your body is your guide, your body is a healer
Your body has the innate capacity to regulate and heal itself. Our job is not to fix it but to help restore its resilience through attuned presence and connection.
Welcome to

If you are experiencing symptoms of chronic stress or trauma and would like to include your body in your healing, you are at the right place.
What Brings You Here?
You might be feeling:
● stuck in your head and disconnected from your body
● confused or worried about your physical symptoms
● tired, lacking motivation and finding it hard to focus or find creativity
● overwhelmed and reactive – everything feels too much
● struggling to trust people or feel safe in relationships
● trapped in a loop of repeated patterns
You might be also receiving support through traditional talk therapy or other healing modalities but sensing that your body is keeping the score.
AND
You would like to address what bothers you at a deeper body-mind level and are looking for attuned guidance and support, so you can feel:
● lighter, more spacious and grounded
● more connected to your body
● more resilient, stronger and more in your power
● free from the repeated patterns of the past
● safe and at peace with yourself and others
● inspired, creative and motivated
Who It Is For
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 indefinitely.
•
It could be that for quite a while, you’ve been searching for a solution on your own or with the help of others, and you appreciate all that you’ve learnt and the help you’ve received. 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 intense happened recently that stirred up difficult 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.
How Somatic Therapy Can Help
Physical unease, overwhelm, trouble calming down, difficulty managing emotions and feeling detached from the body are just some of the signs you are still carrying stress or trauma from past experiences, and that it’s time to slow down and listen.
But trauma is not in the event, nor it is just in your head. It is held in the nervous system and in the tissues of your body – your muscles, your breath, your gut… Trauma is what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.

In our online somatic therapy sessions, we’ll use Somatic Experiencing ® along with other body-based healing modalities to help you restore your deep connection to yourself and your body.
We’ll help you regulate your nervous system and gradually release the layers of stress and trauma so you can feel more present, alive and more like yourself.
And we’ll do it gently in a supportive relational container, letting the healing unfold in its own time.
