Trauma and stress often live in the body, shaping how we feel and respond to the world. Through gentle, body-based awareness and grounding practices, Somatic Therapy supports you in releasing stored tension, increasing regulation, and restoring a sense of safety within yourself.
This process is paced with care and collaboration, allowing you to reconnect with your body’s capacity for healing and resilience. Somatic Therapy at Heart and Heritage invites balance, presence, and a deeper sense of wholeness in your journey toward emotional and physical well-being.
Trauma and stress can get “stored” in the body, affecting posture, breathing, and emotional responses. Somatic therapy uses gentle movement, breathwork, touch, and body awareness exercises to help release tension, regulate your nervous system, and feel more grounded in the present.
No. Somatic therapy is tailored to your comfort and needs. Some exercises may involve gentle movement, stretching, or grounding practices, but much of the work is simply noticing and connecting with sensations in your body.
While movement can be part of it, the main focus is connecting body sensations to emotions and experiences for healing.
