Services
Somatic Experiencing
This body-oriented approach addresses trauma by regulating the autonomic nervous system through gentle techniques developed by Dr. Peter Levine. Our practitioners help clients release trapped survival energy by working with physiological responses rather than changing behaviors. Sessions focus on restoring natural self-regulation patterns that alleviate symptoms like anxiety, chronic pain, and hyper-vigilance.
Trauma Touch Therapy
Specialized hands-on treatment addresses both physical and emotional pain stored in muscle tissue through trauma memories. Our therapists use gentle touch to uncover and resolve cellular memory patterns affecting mental and physical health. This approach builds trust between body and mind to create lasting positive changes in stress response mechanisms.
EAR System Treatment
Our proprietary system educates clients about body awareness while developing new response patterns to replace traumatic memories. This integrative approach combines somatic experiencing with personalized tools for managing stress triggers. Developed over decades of clinical practice, it focuses on creating sustainable wellness through body-mind connection techniques.
