Somatic Stress Release takes a body-centered approach to help you complete your stress cycle.

 

Access into this work usually involves bringing to mind a stressor and noticing how stress shows up in your body. Instead of talking about the problem, I will offer prompts to guide you in noticing what’s present, ways to mobilise the activation and tuning into what shifts. Your feedback will shape how the session evolves.

​​

​​​​

Sessions often include:

 

• Noticing how your nervous system feels at the start and setting an intention for the session.

• Getting to know what helps you feel safe and grounded in your body.

• Guided exercises to tune into your inner landscape and understand how stress shows up.

• Gentle movement and sensory explorations to access your body story.

• Personalised techniques to release tension, restore energy, or build resilience.

• Regular pauses to reflect on how your body is responding and integrate the experience.

• Time at the end to discuss what you’ve learned and how to apply it to your daily life.

• Not every session will look the same. We work with your body’s needs in the moment and move at a pace that feels right for you.​​​

 

Sessions do not involve:

 

• Diagnosis or treatment of mental health or medical conditions

• There is no pushing for emotional release or catharsis— we focus on helping you build a sense of safety and ability to regulate.

• This is not a crisis service for emergencies or acute mental health situations.​

 

How to Get the Most From Your Session

​

• Stay open and curious—your body holds valuable information.

• Trust your body’s signals; there’s no right or wrong way to feel.

• Share your feedback during the session, your input helps shape the process.

• You’re in control. You can pause, slow down, or change direction anytime.

• We’ll focus on small steps that feel manageable, so the tools you learn feel natural when you need them most.

• Be gentle with yourself afterward—rest, nourish your body, and allow time for integration.​​​​​​
