Somatic Therapy
for Developmental & Complex Trauma
A gentle return to our first language:
the language of the body
My name is Laurie-Anne Briere, and I am a Montreal-based somatic naturotherapist.
I trust that, given the right space, time, support, and permission, our bodies know how to complete responses that may have been interrupted or thwarted.
My work focuses primarily on developmental trauma and complex trauma. I am particularly interested in how early experiences, including attachment wounds and pre- and perinatal experiences, shape our nervous systems, relationships, and sense of self throughout life. I also work with individuals navigating the effects of medical and surgical trauma, concussions, motor vehicle accidents, chronic pain, and other experiences that may become layered onto earlier patterns of adaptation.
Sessions may draw from Somatic Experiencing®, neurodevelopmental movement, Transforming Touch®, Somatic Resilience and Regulation®, primitive reflex integration, and breath practices.
My practice is person-centered, attachment-based, trauma-informed, and strength-based.
Sessions are offered in English & en français.
