Somatic Therapy in Calgary
Somatic therapy is a body-centered approach to healing that recognizes the deep connection between the mind and body. When we experience stress or trauma, the body often holds onto tension, sensations, and emotions that words alone can’t fully express.
Through somatic therapy, we bring gentle awareness to the body’s sensations, movements, and rhythms—helping to release what has been held and create space for calm, safety, and presence. This process isn’t about “fixing” the body, but about learning to listen to it with curiosity and compassion.
Somatic therapy can help with anxiety, trauma, overwhelm, and patterns of disconnection. By slowing down and tuning into your body’s wisdom, you can begin to restore balance and reconnect with your natural capacity for healing.
Whether you feel tense, disconnected, or simply out of balance—this work can help you come home to yourself.
This approach helps you listen to the story your body has been trying to tell—the one it didn’t feel safe to share until now
An Evidence Based Approach to Healing
Sessions are gentle and guided by your comfort. Somatic therapy is about reconnecting with your body—not just learning to tolerate discomfort, but also finding safety and comfort within it. We may use strategies like orienting to the space through your five senses, gentle movement, or noticing sensations to help your body settle and find ease
You only share what feels right for you. Somatic therapy focuses on what your body is holding, so healing can unfold without needing to retell painful memories.
While talk therapy may work through thoughts, beliefs and emotions, somatic therapy includes the body’s wisdom. It helps you recognize and release patterns held beneath words.
You may feel calmer, lighter, or more aware of your body. Healing often unfolds gradually as your nervous system learns it’s safe to rest and release.
Healing through the body takes time. The patterns we hold physically and emotionally often develop over many years, so this isn’t a quick approach. Somatic therapy invites slow, lasting change—helping your body gradually relearn safety, trust, and ease at a pace that feels right for you
Helping you build deeper connections, heal from trauma, and foster personal growth in a safe, welcoming space.
