Somatic Experiencing®, Transforming Touch®,
& Primitive Reflex Integration
A gentle return to our first language:
the language of the body
My name is Laurie Anne Briere, and I am a somatic practitioner.
I am passionate about holding space for the body’s wisdom to come through. I trust that given the right space, time, support, and permission, our bodies know how to complete the responses that might have been thwarted. Sessions may include Somatic Stress Release®, authentic movement, breathwork, visualization, somatization, Transforming Touch®, and primitive reflex integration.
My practice is person-centered, attachment-based, trauma-informed, and strength-based.
My Offerings
Somatic Healing Sessions
“Somatic” refers to the felt experience of being in our bodies. In somatic healing sessions, we support the completion of stress responses using Somatic Stress Release®, bodywork techniques, authentic movement, and breath practices. Sessions can also include Transforming Touch®, which is a modality that uses either touch or intentional touch to bring regulation to the nervous system, and primitive reflex integration.
Transformative Breathwork
Trauma-informed breathwork is a transformative modality. We intentionally invite either breath awareness or conscious breathing to support the system, build our window of capacity, and/or release emotions.
I offer breathwork in 1:1 sessions and in group workshops, where I combine breath practices with visualization and somatization.
