Welcome and thank you for your interest in Embodying Wellness Consultations.
I offer individual and group sessions in person (Santa Clarita, CA) as well as online sessions.
Somatic– means body oriented and Experiencing– is the verb in-which, is the experience of the body in the present moment.
Somatic Experiencing (SE) is one of the most comprehensive body-oriented modalities that helps heal traumatic events and stress disorders.
SE is a body-centered approach that focuses on the physical sensations in the body to address trauma, stressful events and treating post-traumatic stress.
I’m a trauma trained professional with background studies in Holistic Health and Psychology. I specialize in nervous system regulation, working with adolescents and adults struggling with:
- Emotions of anxiety, empathetic distress/burnout, depression, ptsd, developmental trauma, addiction recovery
- Chronic health conditions related to trauma, chronic pain, syndromes or disorders.
I take an integrative approach to mind-body healing by drawing from the expertise of Yoga, Somatic Experiencing®, Polyvagal Theory and NeuroAffective Touch.
The impact of daily overwhelm, chronic stress and past trauma isn’t just stored in our minds; it’s also stored in our bodies, where it can create a state of nervous system dysregulation and ongoing signals of survival physiology in the present moment. In fact, research shows that the nervous system creates the very foundation of our lived experience. Founder of Somatic Experiencing, Dr. Peter Levine, reminds us that “Trauma is in our nervous systems, not in the event.” Somatic Experiencing sessions help you release the pain, stress, and traumatic memories that can be stored in your body.
I will teach you techniques to relieve stress, anxiety and ways to settle your nervous system and release the physiological activation you may be holding onto. Somatic Experiencing sessions may include; expressive art, movement, sound, and touch.
Whether you’re on a personal healing journey, or you’re looking for support for your staff, I can create something just for you.
