Get back to living your life with ease!

Because chronic pain and nervous system dysregulation shouldn't be your norm!

Somatic Rebalancing

With Clinical Somatic Exercises

Your body was designed for fluid, effortless movement, but stress, trauma, injuries, and daily habits create holding patterns of chronic tension that lead to pain, stiffness, fatigue, and nervous system dysregulation. Clinical Somatic Exercises are a gentle yet powerful way to retrain your nervous system, releasing deep muscular tension fight or flight responses and restoring natural movement.

Rooted in Thomas Hanna’s work, this method uses slow, mindful movements and pandiculation to reprogram unconscious tightness and reclaim ease and control.

With regular practice, you'll experience:

✨ Less pain, stiffness & fatigue
✨ Improved posture, flexibility & coordination
✨ Reduced stress symptoms & nervous system dysregulation

Is Clinical Somatics Right for You?

Clinical Somatic Exercises are for anyone looking to move with more ease and less tension, especially those who experience:

✔ Chronic Tension & Stiffness

If your muscles feel tight even at rest, you may have high resting muscle tension that needs retraining, not just stretching.

✔ Pain, Fatigue & Overstimulation

Whether from stress, injuries, or exercise that leaves you drained instead of energized, these exercises restore balance, mobility, and ease without overloading your system.

✔ Stress & Nervous System Dysregulation

Tension isn’t just physical—it affects your whole well-being. Clinical Somatics helps regulate your nervous system for more calm, resilience, and relief.

✔ Limited Flexibility & Restricted Movement

Instead of forcing stretches, these exercises teach your muscles to release naturally, unlocking mobility in a way that feels effortless.

If you're ready for a gentler, smarter way to move, this practice will help you reset, release, and rediscover freedom in your body.

FAQ

What are clinical somatic exercises?

Clinical somatic exercises are gentle, neuromuscular movements that help release chronic muscle tension, improve mobility, and restore natural movement patterns. These exercises focus on retraining the brain-to-muscle connection through a process called pendiculation. This is a gentle contraction and release of specific muscle groups that help to relieve pain and reduce stress stored in the body.

How are these exercises different from yoga, stretching, or physical therapy?

Unlike traditional stretching or physical therapy, clinical somatic exercises work through active movement rather than passive stretching. Instead of forcing a muscle to lengthen, we use slow, controlled movements to retrain the nervous system, allowing muscles to release tension naturally.

Who can benefit from clinical somatic exercises?

Anyone experiencing chronic muscle tension, pain, stiffness, or stress-related symptoms can benefit. These exercises are especially helpful for people with:

Chronic pain conditions (such as back, neck, or shoulder pain)
Stress-related muscle tension
Postural imbalances
Restricted mobility
Nervous system dysregulation

What results can I expect?

Many people feel a sense of ease and relaxation after just one session. With consistent practice, benefits can include:

Reduced pain and muscle tension
Improved posture and mobility
Better nervous system regulation
A greater sense of body awareness and ease

Do I need prior experience or flexibility to do these exercises?

Not at all! These exercises are designed to be accessible for all body types and experience levels. I will guide you through movements step by step, focusing on comfort and control rather than pushing your limits.

How long does it take to see results?

Like everything in life, practice makes progress. One factor that will impact your ability to get results will reflect your consistency in practicing these exercises.

Some people feel relief after just one session, while others notice gradual improvements over time.

With consistent practice, most people experience significant changes within a few weeks of regular practice, with the benefits growing with regular integration.

How long do I need to practice these exercises each day/week/month?

Your daily practice can last 10 to 45 minutes, depending on the number of exercises you do and how slowly you progress through them.

On average, most of my videos that you will receive will range in the 10-15min mark.

When you first start 10-15min per day, 5-7 days a week is ideal to get results. You will receive a full recommended outline after your first session with me.

Are the exercises safe for everyone?

While these exercises are gentle and low-impact, they may not be suitable for pregnant women or individuals with severe mobility limitations. If you have specific concerns, consult with your healthcare provider to see if this practice is right for you.

Guiding women ready to relieve their stress based conditions by coming back home to their embodied wholeness with somatic practices!

I’ve been there!

Overwhelmed, burnt out, and stuck in a cycle of chronic pain and fatigue.

My body felt heavy, my mind exhausted, and no matter what I tried, nothing seemed to bring the deep relief I longed for.

I spent years healing from past trauma and stress cycles using both psychological and somatic approaches. While they profoundly contributed to my overall well-being, I still felt like my body hadn’t caught up to my mind. I was trapped in a loop of high resting muscle tension and constant activation.

I knew I had made so much progress, yet I was still experiencing physiological stress symptoms such as eye twitches, muscle cramps and spasms, jaw clenching, painful menstrual cramps, and waking up in the middle of the night with clenched fists, just to name a few. My nervous system was stuck in a habitual activation response, keeping my muscles tense and my body on high alert, and my doctor told me I had the onset of "fibromyalgia".

Then, I discovered clinical somatic exercises. A gentle yet powerful way to release habitual, deeply ingrained muscle tension, reconnect with my body and restore my energy. Within a week, I noticed real changes. After a month, most of my symptoms had faded, and by three months, I had finally found the relief I had been craving.

Now, I help others do the same by guiding them through somatic exercises toward ease, resilience, and a renewed sense of well-being.

You'RE not just "getting old"
Your body is stuck looping in old patterns that are making you feel old!

At the age of 35, I was grunting to pick something off the floor, making achy noises to get off the couch or walk up the stairs and moving slowly to get out of bed.

I'm now 38 and moving better than I have most of my adult life!

You see, there is a myth that getting older means struggling with more pain and mobility issues, and that's all there is to it. But for many of us, these are just the effects of our bodies being stuck in old movement patterns that no longer serve us and are reversible.

Just because you are getting older, it doesn't mean you have to live in chronic activation!
