Listening to the Body to Heal the Whole Self

Somatic Therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that recognizes trauma and emotional pain are not just stored in the mind—but also in the body. When we experience overwhelming stress, our nervous system can become stuck in survival states like fight, flight, or freeze. Somatic Therapy helps gently release these patterns and restore a sense of safety and connection.

Rather than focusing only on thoughts or memories, Somatic Therapy invites clients to:

• Tune into physical sensations, breath, and movement
• Notice where tension, numbness, or energy is held in the body
• Complete the body’s natural responses to stress or trauma
• Build a felt sense of safety, grounding, and resilience

This approach is especially helpful for people who feel disconnected from their bodies, experience chronic stress or anxiety, or have tried talk therapy but still feel “stuck.” Annemarie integrates Somatic Therapy to help clients reconnect with their inner wisdom, regulate their nervous systems, and feel more present and alive in their daily lives.
