Online Somatic Therapy

Meet Tori, Somatic Trained Therapist

You’ve gained insights about yourself through talk therapy, but your mental health is still suffering?

Mental understanding may not be enough to make sustainable changes, we often need to heal and integrate traumatic experiences, traumatic memories, thoughts and emotions from where they were first experienced, the body.

The source of unconscious beliefs, emotions, thought patterns, reactions, addictions and physical symptoms that drive our lives and keep us reacting to the present form the past are all discoverable by tuning in to the wisdom of our body. Somatic trauma therapy is a body awareness that leads you to vulnerable parts of yourself that were locked away and now cry out for your attention.

Getting out of your head and back into your body is an essential step in improving our mental wellbeing and physical health. The modality I use is called "Compassionate Inquiry" developed by Gabor Mate with an Internal Family Systems Focus. Somatic trauma therapy will benefit anyone struggling with depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma or illness.
