Somatic Healing Sessions

 

In somatic healing sessions, we support the completion of stress responses using Somatic Stress Release®, bodywork techniques, authentic movement, and breath practices. With these tools, we support the body in completing activation responses that might have been thwarted to promote restoration and vitality.

Somatic healing sessions can also include Transforming Touch® and primitive reflex integration. Transforming Touch® is a protocol-based modality that supports nervous system regulation by repairing early ruptures through building somatic trust and developing a relationship with a secure base. The intention is to expand the window of capacity (often referred to as window of tolerance), so that you have more choice and can experience more joy in your day-to-day life. Primitive reflexes are automatic movements that develop in utero and during infancy. They lay the foundations for our ability to feel safe and connect with the world. Retained primitive reflexes can have an impact on our motor skills, postural control, sensory integration, visual development, and social abilities. Primitive reflex integration supports us in repairing those early developmental platforms, which then allows us to develop a greater sense of safety, a greater sense of Self, and more independence in the world.

I offer one-off sessions, as well as 3-month and 6-month containers that can be renewed. My containers include weekly sessions, additional resources, and email support.

My approach is attachment-based, trauma-informed, and strength-based.

Trauma-informed Breathwork Sessions

 

Breathwork is a powerful healing modality that allows us to connect to our body through our breath. In breathwork sessions, we can use both breath awareness and conscious breathing to create a container where we have full permission to feel, release, move, and sound. In addition to using the power of breath, I also use visualization, somatization, and authentic movement.

I offer both one-off sessions and packages of 4 sessions. All breathwork sessions are 60 minutes in length, and are completed in a supine position. In a breathwork session, we will start with a check in, set an intention for our practice, breathe, and pause at the end to integrate what has shifted during the practice.

“I have worked with many therapists and healers of all types. Laurie Anne is the real deal. She provides a deep level of presence and a nurturing, safe, and compassionate space. The sessions I had with her were incredible, and each so different. I was surprised at how deep I was able to go with her in each session, a testament to how incredibly safe I felt. I really appreciate her emphasis on sovereignty and all the trauma-informed details and steps she takes to make the space ultra safe.“
