Somatic Work
Healing and Awakening Through the Body
What is Somatic Work?
The word somatic comes from the Greek word soma, meaning “the living body in its wholeness.” It points not just to the physical form, but to the body as a direct, living experience—intelligent, expressive, and inseparable from our emotions, thoughts, sensations, and spirit.
Somatic work invites us to listen deeply to this living body. Through mindful presence and curiosity, we begin to access the body’s wisdom—its memory, its knowing, its capacity to heal and awaken. Rather than approaching the body as something to fix or control, somatic practices open a compassionate dialogue with what’s already here, allowing insight, regulation, and transformation to arise naturally from within.
Pathways into Somatic Work
-
Body-Centred Therapy
Hakomi-based somatic psychotherapy
A trauma-informed, experiential therapy that uses mindfulness and somatic awareness to uncover and transform unconscious patterns. Grounded in the Hakomi method, these sessions support healing, regulation, and emotional integration through the body’s innate intelligence.
-
Somatic inquiry
A path of awakening through the body
A contemplative and spiritual approach to embodied self-discovery. These sessions guide you to attune to your felt experience with presence and curiosity—supporting you to deepen in authenticity, inner authority, and alignment with your true nature.
-
Tension & Trauma Release Exercises (TRE®)
A simple, powerful tool for nervous system regulation
A gentle yet powerful practice that helps release chronic stress and trauma held in the body. By activating the body’s natural tremoring mechanism, TRE supports nervous system regulation, resilience, and a return to grounded ease.
Choosing a Pathway
Each path is an invitation to come home to yourself. To slow down, listen in, and remember what it feels like to be whole.
