About Somatic Practice

What is it all about?

Somatic therapies are therapeutic approaches that recognize and utilize the intricate relationship between the mind and body in promoting healing and well-being. Grounded in the understanding that our physical experiences, sensations, and movements are deeply intertwined with our emotional and psychological states, these therapies employ various techniques to address both bodily and mental aspects of health. By focusing on bodily sensations and patterns, somatic therapies aim to access and release stored memories, traumas, and tensions that may be held within the body. Through methods such as touch, movement, breathwork, and mindful awareness, individuals are guided to explore and transform their physical experiences in ways that also influence their mental and emotional states. This mind-body connection is central to somatic therapies, emphasizing the holistic nature of human beings and the importance of addressing both physical and psychological dimensions in the journey toward healing and self-discovery.
