Trauma can become present in the body in a variety of ways; witnessing a violent or horrific event(s), car accidents, surgeries, serious sports injury(ies), being a soldier or civilian in war, being a first responder, being trafficked, as well as survivors of physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. Integrative Somatic Therapy Practice (ISTP)™ addresses trauma that shows up in the body, causing ailments that appear to have no medical rationale.

(ISTP)™ will holistically guide you through your healing process to recover your “inner compass.” You become empowered by learning techniques such as relaxation using the wisdom of yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, bodywork, and Somatic body-oriented processing. Once the trauma is released into consciousness, you are guided to process and integrate using talk therapy to resolve the trauma.

We work together in an attuned away to release trauma and suffering. Through this method, you restore your inner compass (wisdom) to become conscious, mindful and ultimately - heal. All of this is done in a safe and welcoming environment where you will feel seen and heard.

This will be the most loving gift you will ever give to yourself. Relief is only a session away.
