Somatic Experiencing™ & Integration Sessions

Our bodies know what they need to heal themselves- they are remarkable systems! The challenging part is slowing down and listening to what is needed. Somatic Experiencing™ is a modality in which we work with the messaging from our bodies to renegotiate and release the trauma that has been stuck inside of us. The result is a resilient nervous system and a personal felt sense of safety and security amidst an unpredictable world.

The idea of trauma work can seem massively intimidating and heavy, but at the end of an SE session, participants walk away feeling resourced and empowered. We will only go deeper into the uncomfortable spaces as we simultaneously build the strength and resiliency of your nervous system.

Somatic Experiencing can also be a tremendous support for integrating transformative experiences, such as medicine journeys, fasts, meditation retreats, and more.

My job as a guide is to hold the container for your nervous system to discover, feel, and release the trauma held within it. Some Somatic Experiencing sessions also include trauma-informed consensual touch work to support the body’s process of healing.

I am 2 years into Somatic Experiencing International’s 3 year training to become an SEP. I am also a Wilderness Rites of Passage trained guide in the lineage of the School of Lost Borders, and bring in the lenses of the Four Directions, practices of living & dying, mirroring, and self-generated ceremony into the work that I do with individuals.
