Somatic Coaching
In a world that constantly asks us to push through, it’s easy to lose connection with the one place we live every moment of our lives—our body. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or major life transitions, your body carries those experiences just as much as your mind does.
That’s where the combination of somatic coaching and trauma-informed massage therapy comes in. This integrative approach gently supports you in slowing down, feeling safe in your body again, and building nervous system resilience from the inside out.
What Is Somatic Coaching + Massage Therapy?
Somatic coaching is a body-based approach to healing that focuses on helping you build awareness of your internal state—your breath, sensations, posture, emotions—and how those relate to your thoughts, patterns, and life experiences.
Massage therapy complements this by offering safe, therapeutic touch to support regulation, grounding, and the release of stored tension. When combined, these practices help you shift out of survival mode and reconnect with yourself in a powerful and embodied way.
Sessions are always trauma-informed and consent-based, with touch being optional depending on your needs and comfort.
3 Ways Somatic Coaching + Massage Therapy Can Support You
1. Release Tension Stored from Stress or Trauma
Your body holds onto what your mind can’t always process. Chronic stress, unprocessed trauma, or emotional overwhelm often show up as tight muscles, shallow breathing, or a constant feeling of being “on edge.” Somatic work helps release that tension by gently guiding your body and nervous system back into safety.
2. Reconnect with Your Body After Disconnection
Many clients come in saying they feel numb, scattered, or “not in their body.” Somatic coaching invites you to tune into sensation at your own pace—helping you feel more grounded, present, and whole. Massage, when appropriate, adds a layer of calm and physical reassurance that supports deeper embodiment.
3. Support Emotional Processing Without Needing to Talk Everything Out
Not everything needs to be processed verbally. Sometimes, simply noticing what’s happening in your body—with the right support—is enough to shift old patterns. This work offers space for emotion to move gently, without pressure to explain or analyze.
Who Is This For?
This work is especially helpful if you’re:
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or constantly overwhelmed
Navigating grief, burnout, or a life transition
Living with anxiety, complex trauma, or chronic stress
Seeking a body-centered alternative or complement to talk therapy
You don’t have to carry everything alone—or in your body. Whether you're looking for gentle bodywork, somatic tools for regulation, or a blend of both, this work is designed to meet you where you are, with compassion, consent, and care.
If you're curious, I invite you to reach out or book a free consultation to see if this approach is right for you.
