Somatic Experiencing

“My Somatic Experiencing sessions with Olivia have been game-changing for me. It has enabled me to access parts of myself that I didn’t know existed. And the skills she has taught me I use everyday now. My family has told me that I am easier to be around and I’m less reactionary. I feel calmer on a day-to-day basis and have been able to find answers to why I react the way I do, answers that have eluded me my whole life. She is intuitive and empathetic, and I always feel safe with her. I feel grateful everyday that I found Olivia.”

Somatic Experiencing ™ aims to help people move past the place where they might be “stuck” in processing a traumatic event and be suffering from trauma-related health problems. By focusing on the client's perceived body sensations (or somatic experiences), the body is able to gain resilience in regulating the nervous system. A regulated nervous system means your experience and engagement with the world and others can be taken in and addressed without reaction. See below for more about nervous system regulation. I have found through my SE training, personal therapy and client sessions that SE offers a deceptively simple but extremely powerful way to release trauma from the body and be able to show up to life as our authentic selves.

* I am a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, and I operate within my scope of practice.  I work with clients who are of generally sound mental health and who have good support systems.  If during our work together I feel you may benefit from the assistance of a licensed mental health professional, I will not hesitate to provide those referrals.        

Sessions are offered in person or remotely.
