Somatic Therapy in Grand Rapids, Michigan

What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic therapy is a holistic approach that focuses on how trauma and stress are stored in the body—not just the mind. Instead of only talking through problems, we gently work with your nervous system to release tension, build safety, and restore balance.

This approach can be especially helpful if you:

  • Feel anxious or on edge much of the time

  • Struggle to “turn off” your thoughts

  • Experience chronic stress or burnout

  • Feel disconnected from your body or emotions

❋ Deeper Healing

Many clients come to somatic therapy after trying traditional talk therapy and still feeling stuck. Because trauma lives in the body, healing often requires more than words. 

❋ Gentle Pacing

Somatic therapy offers a gentle, effective path for trauma healing without forcing you to relive overwhelming experiences. By calming the nervous system and helping your body release stored stress and trauma, I help you reconnect with your natural capacity to heal.

❋ Greater Insight

Understanding your nervous system and trauma responses brings clarity, helping you understand not just what is happening—but why your nervous system reacts the way it does.

❋ Supportive Presence

Through listening to the story your body is telling, I offer calm presence and guide you through the process of regulation and healing.

Through somatic counseling, you can:

  • Regulate your nervous system

  • Process trauma safely and gradually

  • Build a stronger sense of calm and stability

  • Improve emotional awareness and resilience
