Journey to your pelvis *
At The Rooted Institute, I work one-on-one with people who want to understand their bodies more clearly—especially when trauma, pain, or chronic stress has shaped how their nervous system responds to the world.
My work helps you make sense of protective nervous system responses, with particular attention to how trauma is held in the pelvis. This includes working gently and explicitly with shock, dissociation, and the ways the body learns to manage pain by reducing, avoiding, or leaving sensory experience. Together, we bring clarity to what your system has been doing to survive—and explore trauma-informed ways to restore choice, safety, and regulation without force or overwhelm.
Rooting in the pelvis is radical.
1:1 work is a space to slow down, increase capacity for sensation at your own pace, and rebuild trust in your internal signals—without pushing, re-traumatizing, or asking your body to do more than it can.
This work is for you if you:
Experience shock, dissociation, numbness
Feel irritable, hyper-vigilant, anxious, tight or tense, difficulty resting
Feel heavy, shut-down, tired often, difficulty getting motivated
People-pleaser, perfectionist, helper, difficulty asking for what you want and need, or saying, “no”
Hyper-individual, lonely, difficulty connecting deeply with others
This work is gender-expansive— all bodies are welcome
Experience stress states you can’t shift with insight alone
Live with chronic pain, complex pain, especially pelvic symptoms
Experience looping thoughts/images from the past
Experience pelvic symptoms that persist despite Talk or Physical Therapy
Want trauma-informed support that honors your body’s intelligence rather than trying to override it
This is Your Journey.
Healing begins with understanding. We can only move as fast as the slowest part of your nervous system.
We journey alongside you as you learn your nervous system, untangle survival patterns, and gently return to yourself—at your own pace, in relationship, and free of judgment. This is a space where safety, choice, and curiosity lead the way.
Ways You Can Work With Me
Somatic Root Healing is a body-based, trauma-informed approach that works with the wisdom of the nervous system to support regulation, connection, and our capacity to navigate stress.
Dr. Grace is a somatic educator and pelvic healing practitioner helping reshape how we understand healing, embodiment, and the nervous system.
Our manifestos
"Radical simply means 'grasping things at the root'" —Angela Davis
Collective liberation is at the center of this work. Somatics is politicized because our Healing is intertwined.
We can only go as deep with others, as we have gone within our own systems.
What People are saying…
“
It’s hard to find words meaningful enough to describe the transformative experience I had in just one session with Dr. Grace. Their ability to listen to the cues of a human body, create a safe space, and provide healing, is a gift.
