Somatic Therapy for Women & MOthers

For the women who want to unblock the way to life feeling different

self-reliant, exhausted, and feeling stuck in the same cycles?

It’s normal to get to a point in our lives, sometimes triggered by an event (such as becoming a mother, or changing career), where we feel a bit stuck.

Stuck in patterns of rigidity, overthinking, resentment, stress, overwhelm, or conflict. Or perhaps stuck in a sense of not quite feeling settled or like you belong, which seems to trickle into this dis-ease in other areas of life.

You may have tried to ignore or resolve these feelings of dis-ease or discontentment. You may have a stubborn self-reliance that wants to work it all out alone.

It may be that this way of being has served you very well until recently, but actually, it doesn’t any more.

The needing to control everything. The stressing all the way through a process until something is complete. The wanting to go and do something else instead of sitting with your child, or your partner, or your work.

You’re feeling ready for life to be a little easier.

What is somatic therapy?

If you’re here, it’s likely that you have some understanding of the memory and energetic imprint of life the body holds.

Somatic therapy is a therapeutic approach working with the soma, the body, rather than focused on thoughts and the mind. In 1:1 therapeutic sessions with myself, you will learn to listen to your felt sense - the body’s method of communicating. A session is closer to a meditation than a talking therapy session.

It is important that we spend time orienting and resourcing the body in order to create the safety needed to invite healing. We are always orienting towards safety, and that is a lot of my role in the session.

Led by intention-setting, somatic therapy invites the emergence of any experience that is stuck or trapped in the body, to emerge through the felt sense.

Through tracking the felt sense, trusting the innate healing capabilities of the body, and inviting some guided practices, you will notice things that have felt stuck start to feel unstuck.

If somatic therapy is very new to you, you are invited to book a free 45-minute call in order to have a more experiential understanding of the process. It is important that working with me feels somewhat safe in your body, and that is part of the purpose of this call.

FAQs & Fees

  • I solely work online for Somatic Therapy sessions. I use Zoom.

    All clients start with 6-sessions after which we review the best way to move forward. For some that’s enough, often people will taper down to fortnightly sessions, while some may continue to weekly.

    Sessions are 1-hour long.

  • The initial 6-sessions are £95/session, £570 in total

    From there, single sessions are £110 or if you book a block of 3 or more, they remain £95/session

    I have availability for one low-income or hard-to-access client every 2-months, where sessions are £75/session.

  • Absolutely not. Whether clients are brand new to somatic work or have some prior experience, we work with you as you are, at a pace that feels right.

  • This will depend on many things, and what your current experience of well-being is.

    My scope of practice does not include clinical support, so I will not be the right therapist for everyone, however this is something we can explore in a connection call so please do not hesitate to book. You can do that here.

  • That is a great question. There must be a reason you are here exploring your option, perhaps ask yourself what that is - what has called you here?
