Trauma Informed Care recognizes the massive reach that trauma has in an individuals life. 

It helps us to understand the way trauma can shape your life, determine the best path for your healing, and take measures to avoid retraumatizing. 

​

Trauma Informed Care recognized the signs and symptoms of trauma in clients, and works to create a sense of safety, working at your pace. 

​

This approach recognizes that trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of that circumstance. 

​

Trauma Informed Care is not a substitute for Trauma Therapy. 

Somatic is derived from the Greek word "Soma" meaning body.

Embodiment, as defined by Somatic Psychotherapist Manuela Mischke-Reeds is "feeling oneself directly, without the constant narration or interpretation of our thinking mind."

​

This powerful healing approach focuses on the wisdom and sensation of your body, placing less emphasis on the stories, interpretation and ideas of your mind. 

​

Somatic Embodiment allows us to access the parts of our bodies that are holding residual energy from traumas or stress, and release those energies gently and safely. It facilitates the completion of stress cycles organically.

Somatic Embodiment supports nervous system and emotional regulation, facilitates greater self awareness, promotes compassion and understanding, and much more.   

Breath Work may be used in sessions as a Liberatory Practice. 

That is, the intentional circulation of, and focus on breath creates a container of safety and love so that the body can release stored emotions and regulate the nervous system.

​

Breath Work takes us to a place of Emotional Fluidity, so that we can safely feel big, uncomfortable emotions. It also allows a sort of Physical Unwinding, inviting the body to slowly let go of the burdens it is holding. 

Breathwork supports deep connection to the Self, sense of empowerment & authenticity as well as a powerful state of natural blisss. 
 

Working with our inner parts can offer us the opportunity to view our wounds as individual pieces. 

In this way, we can work closely with our Inner Child, or our Inner Critic for example, and learn about what stories these parts are telling us, and what they need in order to feel safe. 

​

We can also find our Empowered Parts, and tap into their energy, using it as a catalyst to propel us towards the life we desire. Often, these parts carry potent messages and wisdom to support us in moving towards our goals.
