SOMA HEALING CENTER
SUPPORTING AND RESOURCING FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS WITH EMBODIED SELF-REGULATION
WHO WE SERVE:
Children
Children who have difficulty digesting their external world often feel a lack of safety and trust in their environment. This can hinder a child’s ability to relate and access empathy, feel comfortable with transition, surrender into meal times and sleep, track internal body rhythms, and engage imagination in play. A child experiencing dysregulation may also have challenges with social connections in groups, focusing in school, and changing schedules and routines. We work to build resilience by guiding children to have a greater awareness of their own internal experience and how to connect with embodied self-regulation and resourcing.
Parents
We offer the ability to view your family situation through a new lens and better understand your family dynamic in order to make empowered shifts to parenting approaches. When parents are able to find a regulated state, it greatly impacts the ability for everyone to connect in harmonious and adaptive ways. We work with parents to model embodiment by connecting their emotions with sensation and creating a supportive language at home around feelings.
Adolescents
Arriving into adolescence is a transitional time and calls for consistent support of a skilled and empathic guide to help defragment and normalize the experience. We offer a way for teens to feel held in their exploration of autonomy and relationship with self and others.
Adults
When resistance, overwhelm and worry impact participation in daily activities, it’s important to develop strategies for self-awareness. Through somatic therapeutic interventions, we guide adults to slow down and develop routines that inspire a deeper connection with their life’s narrative and purpose. Each unique life path presents obstacles, and we guide individuals to navigate their journey with awareness and curiosity.
Professionals
If you are a special education teacher, a nurse, a physical or occupational therapist, a psychotherapist or a psychologist , a body or energy worker working with trauma, you can benefit from one of our trainings. Our trauma-informed trainings offer a trajectory with the utilization of multisensory tools to incorporate into your work. We offer a series of online consultations, webinars and courses that will provide you with the skills to address your clients needs in a multi-sensory and creative way.
