Trauma Therapy

Trauma therapy offers a compassionate and gentle path toward healing from distressing or overwhelming experiences. Whether your trauma comes from a single event or from ongoing stress, neglect, or relational wounds, this work helps you process what has happened safely and at your own pace. You do not need to re-live the past to heal from it! Together, we focus on helping your body and nervous system feel safe again.

Traditional talk therapy can be helpful for understanding your experiences, but trauma often lives deeper than words. When something overwhelming happens, the body can hold onto that experience — in muscle tension, breath patterns, or a constant feeling of being “on edge” or numb. This is where somatic therapy comes in. “Somatic” simply means body-based. By gently tuning into physical sensations, movement, and breath, somatic therapy helps release the stress and survival responses that get stuck in the body.

Our nervous system is designed to help us respond to danger — but when trauma occurs, that system can become dysregulated. You might notice this as feeling anxious, hypervigilant, frozen, numb, or disconnected. Somatic trauma therapy works directly with the nervous system to restore balance. Through grounding techniques, mindful awareness, and body-based exercises, we create a sense of safety and calm from the inside out.

Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic trauma work doesn’t require you to re-tell or re-live painful memories. Instead, it offers a gentle way of healing that honours your body’s natural capacity to release, regulate, and recover. This approach can feel less overwhelming and more empowering, helping you rebuild trust in yourself and your body.

Healing from trauma isn’t about erasing the past — it’s about reclaiming your sense of safety, connection, and vitality in the present. With the right support, it is absolutely possible to move from feeling stuck or unsafe to feeling grounded, resilient, and at peace within yourself.
