Reclaim the parts of yourself you’ve put aside, and reconnect with

your confidence, radiance, and lifeforce

"I honestly came in thinking nothing would help me. I’d tried everything. But these sessions are different, there’s no pressure, just space to really tend to myself. I’m discovering new parts of who I am. Life feels lighter, more hopeful, and even exciting in ways I never thought possible." - Cindy R. Nurse Practitioner

How SomaShift Can Support You

I support women who are exhausted by chronic stress, burnout, anxiety, and persistent physical symptoms. These struggles often come from long-held stress patterns and trauma, keeping the nervous system stuck in fight, flight, or freeze. I help women move beyond surviving and into Chronic Thriving, feeling aliveness, connection, and ease in their lives.

​

I guide women around intimacy challenges, especially when shame, performance, or overriding their own needs get in the way. Everything I’ve studied and trained in over the years is for one purpose: helping women step fully into their power, their pleasure, and their thriving.

​

  • In our work, we gently guide your nervous system out of old stress patterns, so your body doesn’t stay stuck in fight, flight, or freeze.

​

  • Sessions give you space to notice what your body has been holding, and to let those survival patterns complete, so you can experience more ease and energy.

​

  • Rather than forcing change, we work with your body’s natural rhythm, so you can feel more steady, connected, and open to what you truly want.

Ways We’ll Work Together

​

  • 1:1 Somatic Experiencing® sessions – helping your nervous system notice sensations, move out of tension or shutdown, and respond to stress more easily

​

  • I sit with women as they navigate chronic stress and symptoms such as fatigue, anxiety, tension, and persistent physical or emotional patterns.​

​​

  • Creating space for self-understanding, including your desires, boundaries, feelings, and values.

​

  • Guidance through life transitions – navigating grief, miscarriage, divorce, perimenopause, or other major life changes with clarity and care.

​

  • Intimacy guidance – deepen your understanding of your body and pleasure anatomy, notice how you override your own needs, strengthen your yes/no awareness, explore boundaries, and reclaim your natural desire and aliveness in a safe, body-led way.

​

  • Ongoing sessions, in-person or virtual – paced to your needs so shifts can integrate fully into everyday life

Somatic Experiencing

​The SomaShift Approach​

​

  • We work with your body and nervous system, helping you move out of old survival patterns instead of just treating symptoms

​​

  • Focus is on what’s been holding you back, so you can feel more resourced, flexible, and resilient in everyday life

​​

  • Sessions are gentle, paced to your needs, and guided by your body, not about pushing, achieving, or performing

​​

  • Combines nervous system work with exploration of desire, pleasure, and aliveness, helping you reconnect to what feels good and reclaim your vitality

​​

  • We create a safe space to notice, feel, and trust your body, and begin to rediscover your own energy, curiosity, and brilliance

​​

  • Change happens gradually through presence and connection, letting you experience your life and relationships from a place of steadiness, choice, and engagement

Anxiety relief

What Begins to Shift

​

  • Feeling more able to stay present with your emotions instead of being overwhelmed or shutting down

​​

  • Greater capacity to be with stress, conflict, and uncertainty without your system going into panic, collapse, or numbness

​​

  • Feeling resourced from the inside, rather than relying on constant coping, pushing, or holding it together

​​

  • More flexibility in your nervous system, so hard moments don’t take you out for days

​​

  • Feeling anchored and supported in your body, with less bracing, tension, or disconnection

​​

  • Increased resilience and ability to recover more quickly after stress

​​

  • Clearer access to your feelings, needs, and boundaries

​​

  • More space for desire, pleasure, and aliveness to emerge naturally

​​

  • Greater trust in yourself and more ease in relationships, without abandoning your own needs

What a Session Looks Like

We sit together and talk, like in talk therapy. But I’m also paying close attention to your nervous system as we go. If I notice a small change in your breath, posture, or tone, I’ll ask you to pause so we can explore what your body might be trying to tell you.

We focus on what’s happening right now: the sensations, emotions, your story, and the ways your nervous system is responding, often without you even realizing it.

Each session is shaped by what you need. I use different tools and gentle practices depending on what fits you. You might do some gentle movement, work with boundaries using yarn, notice how your body reacts when you say something true out loud, or receive therapeutic touch to support your nervous system (not bodywork or massage).

This approach helps your nervous system find safety and regulation, which is the foundation for thriving. It’s how these patterns can shift, allowing you to live life on your terms.
