Root & Restore Therapy

08/29/2025

I was in a client session recently where she was recounting her long list of physical symptoms she has been experiencing ranging from blood sugar issues, fatigue, back pain, irritability etc. Yes she had already been working with functional medicine and traditional medicine. Things had improved but she still couldn’t understand how everything is all connected.

Cue somatic nervous system work and DISCERNMENT. What is mine vs what is someone else’s. When our nervous system goes into a freeze state and is not allowed to move through the stress cycle all the way it changes our physiology and over time these changes express themselves loudly. What she had not realized is all the times she was told she was too much, too loud and to stop she then internalized this and it became her voice. She then continued to become her own internal oppressor and her body is now saying NO in the way it knows how- physical symptoms.
She didn’t realize she could discern me vs not me and then make a choice from that awareness. What if our bodies aren’t meant to be controlled but EXPERIENCED?

This is what we work with in somatic circle. Learning discernment, playing with desire and boundaries, experiencing our own wisdom. Come join us this next Tuesday!

What does it mean to trust?

To let go without knowing what the next outcome will be. To stop the endless gripping pattern of body tension that is screaming and aching to have some semblance of control. To soften and melt to allow yourself to be transform. To be vulnerable enough to give permission to yourself to be held in a way you have been longing for your entire life and didn’t know it.

Trust is vulnerable, it’s raw, it’s scary, it’s real. And it is not without boundaries or edges. It is also earned and not just given. It takes time and practice.

This is what we practice in somatic circle. To work our edges. To make love to our self doubt so much it transforms to confidence and connection. It’s a place of play, exploration and discomfort. Come find your edges with us!

I have been doing a deep dive lately in looking at breath from many perspectives. The inhale, the exhale, the space between, the movement, flow, even the hold and tension. Each of these carry information about ourselves, our nervous system, consciousness itself. Breath is a portal and an invitation to experience more, to build capacity and to come back to the body. Come explore this with us next week! .wellness

We’ve changed our name! It’s time for a re-introduction. Somatic is the word used for the connection of mind and body. This is our focus and decided the name needed to better represent the offering. We also changed our website. Check out the new one! Link is in bio and first comment. Excited to be more in alignment with our mission and values through this change.

This was said during my training this last weekend.
It is referring to how often people come into the office and say “fix me” or “I want you to fix….”
I personally cringe when people say this. I am not here to fix anyone because you aren’t broken. Even if you’ve been experiencing chronic pelvic pain for years and it feels like you need to be “fixed” I can assure you that this is not the path to healing. This continues to create a codependent dynamic within a professional relationship. I honor the pain you are experiencing that leads you to this belief. For me, “Fix” is the new swear word in the clinic.

I am here to facilitate your own healing.
My job is to simply listen.

Whether it’s your own words or your body, I am there to be a witness and a mirror to you EXACTLY AS YOU ARE. I am there to support your body in it’s own healing and allow your bodies needs to be met, all while helping you develop a better relationship to yourself in increasing awareness of your own needs and how to meet them from a place of desire.

I TRUST you and your body to reveal what needs to be attended to and where cracks in beliefs or understanding may lie. I am here to BE with you, not to DO TO YOU. I see this as the best type of relationship to be in 🙂

Our bodies are deep wells of wisdom. They are constantly speaking to us in a variety of ways but our deep conditioning in society is to brush it off, ignore or even control our bodies. We spend so much time and money trying to get away from the communication that our best teacher and ally is trying to convey.
Learning to listen takes time. It requires the ability to turn toward the body and be curious about what it might be saying. Whether we are dealing with chronic pain, stress at work, family difficulties the body is aware of the patterns we carry and how to heal them. Just like we can understand babies needs in their non verbal stages it comes down to ATTUNEMENT. It took me years of really learning to stop talking/assuming and deeply listen that my relationship with my body and others started to develop. My skills as a mother, partner, somatic practioner, and human have significantly improved and drastically changed how I show up in each of these realms.

What might your body be trying to communicate?

Sometimes life sucks. I never new I would be so intimate with trauma when I picked my partner. My partner has epilepsy. We laugh about it a lot to keep us sane but In reality it’s not pretty, it’s not pleasurable and I hate ending up in the medical system with my partner more than we would like to. The truth is I am directly effected regularly by his disease. My kids are directly effected, and of course my incredible partner is experiencing this intimately. We didn’t choose this but it’s reality and accepting this reality means I also take responsibility for my emotions about it. My truth is I’m angry about it. Im angry that I have to call for emergency help with a pool of blood in my hands and leave my kids at night with a house that looks like a crime seen because of my husbands disease.
I bring this here because I am human, because this is part of my human existence and the true feelings of anger I have are my medicine. Learning to be friends with anger allows me to thrive with this experience. It is the bridge to my ability to feel so much empathy, love and connection to others. Not in a trauma bonding way, but in a self affirmation of what my experience really is without having to search for some big meaning in it. The richness of experiencing all aspects of life is enough. Sometimes life is joyful and sweet, and sometimes it feels like you get hit by a truck. Part of what I love most about my job is holding space for others. For digging in the dirt with them and watching them really come home to themselves in and through their body. Through the vessel that is the house for this lifetime. One of the most important lessons I have learned and will continue to teach is to speak truth regardless of how raw it is and to validate my own experience. This is healing. This is self love. (We are ok by the way)
