Integrative SOMATic THERAPY (in clinic)
SOMATO-ENERGETICS
2HRS $300
Trauma fragments the self. It disrupts memory networks, hijacks the nervous system, and leaves behind protective parts that work overtime to shield us from pain. While these survival strategies are adaptive, over time they can create cycles of disconnection, hypervigilance, depression, and shame. Healing requires more than managing symptoms — it requires integrating the fragmented parts of the self and restoring safety in the body.
I use a unified somatic approach to trauma-informed care: including a deeper understanding of the body’s relationship with social, environmental, developmental, relational, spiritual, and cultural wounding and healing.

online INTEGRATIVE MOVEMENT THERAPY
90 mins $180
The mind and body are one system. What you feel is expressed through your body and regulated by your body. Movement is one of the main ways the nervous system communicates and changes. Movement Therapy works through movement to influence how a person feels, thinks, and functions. This therapy is focussed on deep regulation, honest expression and trauma response completion, and the restoration of optimal body function.
NEURO- SOMATIC fascial therapy
( 90 mins) $190
NEURO-SOMATIC FASCIAL RELEASE THERAPY is revolutionizing how we think about healing, recovery, and overall movement. Unlike traditional stretching that focuses on isolated muscles, Fascial release targets the fascia—the web-like connective tissue encasing muscles, joints, and organs. Fascial therapy focuses on elongating and releasing tension in the fascia which is deeply interconnected to our nervous system and somatic memory. This holistic approach promotes better movement, reduces pain, enhances physical performance and facilitates somato-emotional release. I guide clients through a series of dynamic movements, often incorporating traction and rhythmic rocking, and breathing, to help the body return to its natural alignment and ease.
Trauma ( wether emotional or physical) is a powerful and often life-altering experience that impacts our emotional, mental, and physical well-being. While we frequently think of trauma as something that affects the mind, there is now evidence that trauma is also stored physically in the body, particularly within the fascial system. When trauma—whether emotional, psychological, or physical—occurs, the fascial system responds by holding on to tension, potentially leading to chronic discomfort, postural imbalances, and pain. Our issues really are in our tissues!
I understand the deep connection between trauma and the fascial system and blend a neuro-somatic approach to help bring back harmony to the whole system. Caring for our fascia can lead to significant relief from pain, physical and emotional patterns and long-lasting healing.
