You may not even realize you’re having a one-sided conversation with your body. It’s talking but you’re not really listening.

Somatic Therapy
where mind and body get acquainted
Think about how it would feel if you tried to speak the truth and were silenced, overpowered, or overruled, again and again, because it wasn’t convenient to hear your truth.

It is done with care and presence so that you can learn how to truly listen to yourself and to your body.
So you can feel stuck things shift and become dislodged.
And finally, whatever your body has been clenching onto can be released.
