The connection between trauma and the body is both complex and profound, intertwining physical, emotional, and psychological responses.
When we experience trauma—whether physical, emotional, or psychological—it affects the body in ways that are often subtle but deeply impactful. The body does not simply "store" trauma in the form of memories or emotions; it responds to trauma in physiological ways that can affect our nervous system, immune system, and even our muscles, organs, and cellular processes.
I am committed to empowering you with the tools that you need to overcome the impact of trauma and break free from negative patterns that impact your health and wellbeing.
Through evidence-based practices, empathy, and a strengths-focused approach, I guide my clients towards renewed resilience and a brighter, healthier future.
​
Part of your healing journey is connecting your health to your trauma. Trauma and the body are intricately connected through physiological, neurological, and biochemical processes.
Trauma doesn't just "live" in the mind; it profoundly shapes the body’s responses, creating patterns of tension, pain, and dysregulation.
Understanding this connection is essential for healing, as trauma recovery must involve both emotional processing and physical awareness. Healing the body from trauma is not simply about alleviating symptoms, but about restoring balance to the nervous system and allowing the body to return to a state of safety, peace, and resilience.
