supporting survivors of trauma through their recovery is our passion.
At Healing Lab Somatic Therapy, we believe in the healing power of breath, movement, contact, art, play, and nature. We work to bring you experiences that create somatic freedom, healing, and empowerment through all these elements. We deeply value mental well being. We understand the experience and neurological components of trauma, PTSD, and Complex PTSD. We design all of our sessions to offer choice to our clients because through choices we learn about ourselves, about what our body needs, and through that learning we rebuild trust between mind and body. We attempt to create an environment of safety by using trauma-informed language and teaching techniques to prevent re-traumatization in class and sessions. We understand the responsibility of white wellness practitioners is to honor the roots and traditions of trauma informed somatic practices and to facilitate these sessions while reducing harm. We believe that somatic healing should be available to all, and work to create financially accessible options to all. We believe in relational and community healing. We utilize our privilege to create experiences and spaces of community healing for all bodies.
