About Somatic Haven

Somatic Experiencing is a powerful therapeutic approach designed to help individuals process and heal from trauma. Developed by Dr. Peter Levine, this method emphasizes the mind-body connection, recognizing that trauma affects not only our emotions but also our physical well-being.

Through guided awareness and gentle movement, Somatic Experiencing allows clients to tune into bodily sensations, helping to release trapped energy and unresolved feelings. This process fosters resilience, promotes self-regulation, and enhances overall emotional health. By addressing trauma at a somatic level, clients can achieve a profound sense of relief and healing, ultimately restoring balance and harmony within themselves.

Transforming Touch integrates gentle, compassionate touch with somatic awareness to create a powerful healing experience. This approach recognizes the vital role of touch in regulating the nervous system and promoting emotional well-being, especially for those affected by developmental trauma.

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a transformative therapy developed by Dr. Richard Schwartz that views the mind as composed of distinct "parts," each with its own thoughts and feelings. This approach helps individuals engage with these parts—such as the Protector and the Exiled—fostering healing and self-awareness.

IFS operates on the principle that every part has positive intentions, even if its methods are unhelpful. By cultivating compassion for these parts, clients can resolve internal conflicts, enhance emotional regulation, and achieve greater inner harmony.

When integrated with body-based modalities, IFS deepens the healing process. Somatic practices encourage clients to connect with their physical sensations, allowing them to access and process emotions stored in the body. This holistic approach enhances self-discovery and emotional balance, making it particularly effective for addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma.
