Somatic Therapy for Anxiety and Stress in Spokane
Somatic-A Journey through the body
Discovering the healing power of the body in therapy.
The body hold so much information that sometimes the mind does not have access to. We cannot always think our way out of pain and discomfort. Somatic therapy is a powerful way to uncover what the body is holding on to.
Somatic therapy is a great tool to creating lasting change in the nervous system.
Everything we do is in connection to our body. If our body is healthy then we “feel good” and if we feel good, we can manifest our deepest desires, follow our intuition, have strong boundaries, say no, and do all the things that are calling us
Somatic therapy services for anxiety and stress in California and Washington State.
Somatic therapy is much more than talking about what is happening in our lives. When you work with me you will be guided through an experiential process of learning and leaning into the body’s infinite wisdom. Our bodies hold all the answers and keys to help us heal.
Healing is your birthright.
What happens when you begin to curiously listen to your body? The challenge is our bodies want to keep us safe just like our mind. For many of us, as younger humans we had to shut off, ignore, or exclude our own body signals in order to stay connected with our caregivers to ensure our survival. If you are ready to take a deep dive into your inner wisdom, feel free to book a call with me and get started today.
“You cannot do it alone, and nobody can do it for you.”
-Peter Levine
You cannot do all your healing alone and you do not have to. You deserve to connect with those parts of you that feel scary and overwhelming. It is through somatic experiencing that you can take charge of your healing in a way that feels possible.
5 Benefits of Somatic Psychotherapy for Anxiety and Stress
Regulates the nervous system- calms the fight or flight response
Releases stored tension-anxiety and stress can create stored tension in the body.
Builds Mind-Body awareness- by connecting with bodily sensations, you learn to recognize early signs of stress and anxiety, making it easier to respond with calm and intention.
Increase emotional resilience - somatic practices teach you to sit with difficult emotions rather than avoiding them, helping you process and move through anxiety more effectively.
Creates a sense of safety- through grounding exercises and gentle body connection, somatic therapy helps you feel safe and present in your body, reducing overall stress levels.
Creating the capacity for healing in therapy.
In today’s fast paced world, we can feel overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from ourselves knowingly or unconsciously due to life events, trauma, unhealthy relationships, and stressors of life. Somatic therapy offers a pathway back to your body. A safe, nurturing space where healing happens not just through your mind but through your whole being.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which often focusses on analyzing thoughts, somatic therapy recognizes that our emotions, memories, and traumas are stored in the body. Anxiety, boundary challenges, and chronic stress aren’t just mental struggles-they show up in our posture, breath, and even how we hold tension in our muscles.
Somatic therapy is a powerful tool to help you uncover the wisdom and stories your body holds. Through guided awareness, movement, and grounding practices you can:
Release tension and emotions stored in your body.
Reconnect with your inner strength and intuition.
Develop healthier boundaries and feel safe expressing your needs.
Transform anxiety into calm, embodied confidence.
Somatic therapy is especially powerful for women who feel stuck in cycles of “overthinking” or “people pleasing”. By learning to feel at home in your body, you can cultivate a deeper connection to yourself, regain your personal power, and live with greater ease and authenticity.
Healing the body, Healing the pain.
True healing happens when we bring the mind, body, and soul into alignment. Too often, we approach life from the neck up- analyzing, overthinking, and striving for solutions through logic alone. But when we disconnect from our body and soul, we lose access to the deeper wisdom and healing that resides within us.
Somatic therapy bridges the gap by integrating the mind, body and soul into the healing process. It’s a gentle yet transformative approach that acknowledges how our emotional wounds and life experience are stored in the body, not just in our thoughts.
