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. This work emphasizes slowing down, listening to the body, and restoring relationship to self, land, and others.

This approach integrates pelvic-focused practices to support reconnection with the Root—the foundational center of safety, security, and belonging in the body. Shame, fear, and disgust often shape our relationship to the pelvis, reinforced by Western and colonial systems that perpetuate disconnection from this part of ourselves.

Tension is a road map, guiding us towards the ways Body is trying to protect itself. What does your Body need to shift this holding? What needs to change for the hurts to express?

By intentionally reconnecting with the pelvis, Somatic Root Healing supports reparative experiences of relative safety, embodied choice, and self-trust—creating space for grounded presence, agency, and sustainable self-connection.

Trauma is what happened to us, that shouldn’t have, and also what should have happened to us, that didn’t. When we are left alone in these experiences, we often take in wounded messaging as Truth. The wounding often has roots in our inherent enough-ness. As Gabor Maté explains, “Trauma is what happens inside of you, because of what happened to you.”

I specialize in helping Folx in these areas:
— Issues from pain of aloneness/abandonment

— Issues from being raised by emotionally immature guardians/parents

— Issues from sexual abuse or sexuality trauma

— Issues common amongst high-achievers, people-pleasers, and helpers

— Issues with origins in oppression and privilege

— Historical/ Inherited/ Intergenerational Trauma

— Reproductive/ IVF/ Birth Trauma

— Issues related to compact trauma including brain injuries

— Issues from leaving high-control religion

This is relational work. Your Pelvis is after all, just part of the whole You.

You were hurt in relationship, so it is in relationship that healing can deepen.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) is a deeply intelligent, body-wide regulator that continuously senses and responds to safety, threat, and internal balance. It isn’t just responsible for automatic functions like breathing, digestion, and heart rate; it also holds patterns of protection that shape how we experience the world, especially after stress or trauma. In somatic-informed healing, the ANS is understood as a living, adaptive system that remembers and reorganizes—not something to be “fixed,” but a guide whose innate wisdom helps us move from survival toward regulation, connection, and ease. When we work with the nervous system experientially—through body-based practices, relationship, or expanded states of awareness—we meet this intelligence directly and can support lasting shifts in how we feel, act, and relate.

Pelvic & Body-Based Pain and Complaints

Nervous System Patterns That You Feel Powerless to Change

Yes, I offer hands-on support that is oriented toward holding the nervous system and listening to the body’s innate intelligence. All touch is slow, collaborative, and grounded, with on-going, attuned, full-body-consent.

My hourly rate is $315, and I see clients in 2 hour sessions.

The work we do together is not designed as a one-time intervention or a quick fix. Somatic and trauma-informed healing unfolds through consistency, safety, and relationship. Meeting together about once per week allows your nervous system and body to build trust, integrate new patterns, and gently unwind long-held holding and protective responses.

For most people, this work is most supportive when engaged in for at least 3–6 months. This time allows space for stabilization, deeper listening to the body, and sustainable change to emerge—at a pace that honors your system rather than rushing it. Healing happens in layers, and ongoing support creates the container needed for lasting transformation.
