Welcome to Back To Your Body
Online Somatic Therapy by Somatic Experiencing® Practitioners
The somatic therapy we offer is a body-oriented process that works with the nervous system, trauma and attachment.
It creates a space where you can start to undo the effects of stress and trauma and attend to the emotional and relational wounds your body holds.
Gradually.
And with care.
At your nervous system’s pace.
What Brings You Here?
It’s possible that you’re not completely new to healing or starting from zero.
Yet despite your efforts, you might be feeling:
● disconnected from your body and stuck in your head
● bothered by physical symptoms that won’t go away
● burned out, chronically tired or sleeping poorly
● anxious, reactive or highly sensitive when everything feels too much
● stuck in a loop of Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn
● struggling to feel safe in relationships or manage relational difficulties
•
It could be that you’ve been searching for a solution on your own or with the help of others, through self-healing practices, talk therapy or other methods.
Now you’ve come to a point where you want to address what’s been bothering you through your body, something that, perhaps, has been missing from your healing.
And you are looking for guidance in doing so.
If it sounds like you, let's explore it further.
How Does Somatic Therapy Help?
Somatic therapy supports your nervous system, so that the old protective patterns underneath your symptoms and emotional reactions can begin to soften and unwind.
It’s not about reliving the past or retelling the story. Instead, body-based approaches like Somatic Experiencing ® (SE) meet you where you are, allowing you to gradually explore, process and integrate what you’ve been holding inside, while being seen and supported.
As your system begins to settle, you might notice moments of feeling more peaceful, alive and connected both within yourself and in your relationships.
The good news is: your body already knows how to heal. Sometimes, it just needs help to feel safe enough to move in that direction.

What we work with
Somatic Therapy For Single Traumatic Events And Repeated Trauma
Our specialised trauma background equips us to work somatically with:
Shock Trauma
Surgeries, car accidents, natural disasters or physical abuse can leave your nervous system in a state of shock or hypervigilance. With support, your body can start to come out of this frozen or reactive state and rediscover a sense of safety.
Childhood Attachment and Developmental Trauma
Wounds from your childhood that resurface in your daily life or affect your current relationships. When there’s consistent space, attuned presence and guidance, there’s a possibility to repair these early emotional and relational ruptures and build a more secure connection with yourself and others.
Generational, Collective & Systemic Trauma
Inherited family patterns, and cultural and collective influences and challenges that go beyond your individual experience. Exploring these wider influences through your body can support a deeper understanding, and an embodied sense of resilience and belonging.
Kind Words From Past Clients
Let's make sure we are a good fit.
Who We Work With
You’re looking for support, not shortcuts.
Deep down, you wish the healing were faster and not so hard, but you also know that real transformation tends to take time.
You see the value of intentional and collaborative therapy that invites you to grow and change, but you don’t want it to last forever, which makes sense.
Our role is to offer guidance and direction without losing sight of what matters to you.
If this resonates, you are welcome to take the next step below.
