Integrative Somatic Trauma Coaching is a body-based approach to healing.

Many approaches to healing focus mostly on thoughts and beliefs, like trying to change the way we think about our experiences. While this can be helpful, trauma often lives deeper in the body and nervous system. That’s why people can understand something logically and still feel anxious, shut down, or stuck.

Somatic trauma coaching focuses on helping the body feel safer so healing can happen more naturally.

In our work together, we slow down and gently pay attention to what is happening in your body, emotions, and inner experience. Through simple practices like somatic awareness, breath work, grounding, and mindful movement, you can begin to reconnect with your body and nervous system.

We also explore the different parts of you that formed to cope with difficult experiences, approaching them with curiosity and compassion.

The goal is not to force change, but to help your nervous system feel safer and more supported so patterns of stress, protection, and overwhelm can gradually soften and shift.

This work supports your natural capacity for healing, helping you feel more connected, steady, and whole.

Grief companioning is a gentle, human-centered way of supporting people who are living with loss. Instead of trying to fix grief or move someone through it, the focus is on walking alongside you as you navigate life after loss.

Grief is not a problem to solve. It is a natural response to love and attachment. When someone we love dies, or when life changes in a profound way, we are deeply affected. The goal is not to help you “get over” your loss or return to who you were before.

Instead, grief companioning creates space for your grief to unfold in its own time.

Many people are told they should move on, stay busy, or find closure. This approach is different. It recognizes that healing often comes from allowing grief to be seen, felt, and supported — not pushed away.

There is no timeline and no “right way” to grieve.

Sometimes support means talking. Sometimes it means sitting quietly with what feels too heavy to hold alone.

Grief companioning simply means you do not have to walk this path by yourself.

Somatic EMDR is a gentle, body-aware approach that helps people process and heal from difficult or traumatic experiences.

Trauma from events like a difficult birth, pregnancy loss, infant loss, medical emergencies, or other overwhelming life experiences can sometimes stay “stuck” in the nervous system. Even when we understand what happened, our body may still react with fear, distress, or strong emotions.

Somatic EMDR helps the brain and body process these memories so they no longer feel as overwhelming.

This approach combines elements of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with awareness of the body and nervous system. By slowly working with memories, body sensations, and emotions, the nervous system can begin to release what has been held and move toward a greater sense of safety and calm.

The goal is not to erase what happened, but to help the memory settle so it no longer carries the same intensity or distress.

Many people find that as traumatic memories are processed, they feel more grounded, more present, and less triggered by reminders of the past.

Mind–Body Coaching is a supportive approach that helps you better understand the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and body.

Life experiences can shape how we think about ourselves and how we respond to stress, relationships, and challenges. Sometimes these patterns once helped us cope, and over time they may begin to feel limiting or no longer helpful.

Mind–Body Coaching helps you slow down and explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion.

In our work together, we combine conversation with simple awareness practices that help you notice what is happening in your body, emotions, and thoughts. This can help you better understand your reactions, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and respond to life in ways that feel more aligned with who you are.

This work is not about diagnosing or treating mental health disorders. Instead, it focuses on personal growth, self-understanding, and supporting meaningful change in your life.

People often find that mind–body coaching helps them feel more grounded, more connected to themselves, and more confident in how they move through life.

Somatic Attachment Coaching helps people understand and heal patterns in relationships.

Many of the ways we respond in relationships begin early in life. If connection with caregivers felt inconsistent, overwhelming, or unavailable, the nervous system learned ways to adapt in order to stay safe. These patterns may show up later as anxiety in relationships, fear of closeness, difficulty trusting, people-pleasing, or shutting down during conflict.

These responses are not flaws — they are protective patterns the body learned a long time ago.

A somatic approach recognizes that these patterns are not only in our thoughts. They also live in the body and nervous system. That’s why we may react strongly in relationships even when we don’t want to.

In our work together, we gently slow down and notice how your body responds to connection, distance, and conflict. By bringing awareness and support to these responses, your nervous system can begin to experience relationships in new ways.

Over time, many people find they feel safer in connection, better able to set boundaries, and more able to trust themselves and others.

Perinatal and Postpartum Support offers compassionate support during pregnancy, birth, perinatal loss, and the early months of parenting.

This time brings major physical, emotional, and life changes. Many parents experience anxiety, overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, exhaustion, or uncertainty. These experiences are more common than people realize and do not mean something is wrong with you.

Informed by Perinatal Mood and Anxiety Disorder training (PMADS) In our work together, you have a space to talk openly about what you are going through. We can explore challenges such as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, identity changes, perinatal loss, or the pressures of caring for a new baby from a compassionate, non-pathologizing perspective.

Support can also include processing difficult or overwhelming birth and medical experiences, which can sometimes stay with people long after the event.

This work focuses on helping you feel more supported, more steady in your nervous system, and more trusting of yourself as you navigate pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood.

Developmental trauma refers to overwhelming or unsupported experiences that happen very early in life, during pregnancy, birth, infancy, or childhood , when the brain and nervous system are still developing.

These experiences are not only about obvious trauma or abuse. They can also include times when a child felt scared, alone, or unsupported for long periods of time. This might include things like difficult birth experiences, early medical procedures, separation from caregivers, or growing up without consistent emotional support.

Because babies and young children cannot fully understand or process what is happening, these experiences are often stored in the body and nervous system rather than in clear memories.

Later in life, these early experiences can show up as anxiety, feeling unsafe in the body, shame, difficulty with relationships, people-pleasing, or emotional overwhelm.

Somatic developmental trauma work focuses on the body and nervous system. By gently exploring how these patterns live in the body, the nervous system can begin to experience more safety, regulation, and connection.

Many people seek this work when they sense that early experiences may still be shaping how they feel, relate, or respond to life today, even if they cannot point to a specific memory.

Somatic Parts Work helps you understand the different “parts” of yourself that developed to cope with life experiences. Some parts may feel protective, critical, anxious, or people-pleasing, while others may carry grief, fear, or unmet needs from earlier in life. These parts carry burdens for a reason but over time they can affect how you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others.

Somatic Parts Work helps you gently tune into body sensations along with your emotions and thoughts, so you can understand what each part is holding and what it needs.

Through this work, you can begin to soften self-criticism and shame, understand protective patterns, improve relationships with yourself and others, and reconnect with calm, clarity, and inner wisdom.

Polyvagal-Informed Coaching helps you understand and support your nervous system, which affects how safe, connected, or stressed you feel.

For people who have experienced trauma or chronic stress, the nervous system can stay on high alert even when the present feels safe. This can show up as anxiety, emotional overwhelm, shutdown, difficulty relaxing, or struggles with trust and connection.

This work focuses on noticing how your body reacts to stress and relationships and learning ways to support your nervous system in feeling safe and balanced.

The goal isn’t to remove protective responses, they helped you survive, but to help your nervous system become more flexible and resilient.

Over time, many people experience greater calm, curiosity, and connection with themselves and others.
