Somatic healing is rooted in the understanding that the body—not just the conscious, thinking mind—holds memory, emotion, and lived experience. Unresolved trauma or emotional overwhelm can remain in the nervous system as implicit memory until processed, quietly shaping how we feel, respond, and relate in daily life, often without our awareness.

Emotions are physiological. Notice how you feel butterflies in the stomach when nervous, tears rising when sad, heat in the face when angry? These are the body’s natural ways of processing emotion: responses that happen physiologically and viscerally, below the level of intellect alone.

But when experiences are too overwhelming or life interrupts the natural process, the nervous system can become “stuck” in survival states like fight-flight-freeze. Somatic healing supports the body in reharmonizing by completing what was once interrupted, allowing for release, resolve, and return to presence.

This work engages the unconscious, which we experience most vividly through interoception (our inner sensations) and proprioception (our sense of movement and position). Modern neuroscience confirms that the unconscious shapes the vast majority of human experience, and that lasting change happens when we work with these deeper layers directly. By using the body as the vehicle for awareness and integration (so not just as a set of movements or poses) somatic healing helps us access, process, and transform what words alone often cannot reach.

Every session is different because we work with your nervous system in real time. There’s no routine, we follow what’s emerging and what is ready to be reconsolidated and integrated.

We combine nervous system regulation, somatic sensing, subconscious work, and guided inner awareness to unwind protective patterns, reconnect to emotion, and restore a coherent sense of self.

Sessions may include attuned dialogue, body tracking, sensory exploration, breath, micro-movement, imagery, parts work, and relational co-regulation, always at a pace that honors your system.

My sessions are not about dramatic catharsis. It’s about subtle, lasting nervous system change that builds capacity, ease, and embodiment.

Put simply: we listen, we feel, we complete, we integrate, and repeat.

These aren’t talk therapy sessions with a few breathing cues, nor movement classes in disguise. Somatic healing, as I practice it, is a relational and attuned process that uses the body’s physiology as the doorway into unconscious patterns, memory, and emotion. It’s not about fixing yourself but about remembering who you are beneath layers of protection.

As somatics becomes mainstream, it’s often reduced to technique. True somatic work isn’t a routine — it’s presence and pacing, so the nervous system can complete what was unfinished and reorganize at its core.

My contemplative roots allow me to work at depth with unconscious material, while my training in somatics and trauma science grounds the process. My framework — Sense, Equalize, Express, Embody, Distribute — ensures shifts take root in daily life.

My work began in meditation and naturally evolved into somatic trauma resolution, because when we reach for presence, we meet what’s been stored in the body. I integrate somatic depth, contemplative practice, and trauma science to support transformation from the inside out. I’m not a licensed therapist; this is a different methodology, though the mental-health field is increasingly moving in this direction.

Where therapy often works through insight and cognition, this work focuses on the nervous system, implicit memory, and the subconscious, the layers where many patterns actually live. Change here happens through sensation, presence, and neuroplastic learning, not analysis.

Healing, importantly, is not only about resolving the past; it’s also about opening to future possibility. I integrate developmental and coaching approaches, so new capacity becomes embodied in daily life. True transformation holds both release and creation, memory and possibility.

Trauma isn’t a pathology, but an adaptive survival response. Healing trauma means restoring safety so you can be present with yourself again. Presence is the gateway back to your true self, because trauma creates barriers to the heart, which is inherently self-healing.

Trauma may come from acute events (“big T”) or from chronic, developmental, or relational wounding (“small t”). These survival strategies can become protective identities that mask the authentic heart. Healing supports the completion of what was once interrupted—stored impulses, emotions, and stress—so the nervous system can restore its natural flow.

Not everything in us is a trauma response importantly but honoring the ways we once protected ourselves opens the path to safety, wholeness, and self-trust (and thus a guiding and stabilizing intuition). Even if you don’t identify with the word trauma, the same principles apply to grief, chronic stress, or unexplained tension: true healing means returning to the body and self, to presence, and to your innate resilience.

Psychosynthesis is a spiritually grounded depth psychology that views us as whole beings made of many soul parts, each with its own voice, need, or history. It predates Internal Family Systems therapy (IFS) by several decades, but takes a more integrative approach: rather than endlessly fragmenting into parts, the aim is more deeply to synthesize them in service of the deeper Self. What makes psychosynthesis unique is that it weaves together both shadow work—meeting the messy, wounded aspects of our past—with transpersonal integration, inspiration, and future-oriented goals. This balance allows for true healing and transformation, because we’re not just processing pain, but also aligning with meaning, higher ideals, and the authentic wholeness at the core of who we are. Even as modern therapy seeks to adopt this work of synthesizing the psyche’s parts (“parts work”) it’s not possible without transpersonal integration.

Everything. True healing is a natural, human process rooted in spiritual wisdom and philosophy, long before therapy or treatment protocols existed. It’s not about fixing; it’s about remembering who you are beneath the layers of survival and defense.

Trauma, including unprocessed emotions, disrupts our life force and severs us from our authentic self. At its core, trauma is often a loss of meaning, a spiritual crisis. Healing restores that meaning through compassionate presence and alignment with the will of your heart.

Importantly, spirituality is not a means of escapism, future fixing, nor compulsivity; that’s delusion. Spirituality, to me, is you connecting to the reason you are here, your heart’s will. That’s the way.
