Trauma Informed Somatic Guidance

Somatic guidance is a one to one session in which you can safely explore issues relating to your body and/or mental health and create individualised practices and tools to allow you to navigate everyday life in a more balanced way. Our sessions take place in the safety and comfort of our Sheffield based therapy room where you’ll be welcomed into a calm, relaxing space. 

​​

​​​​Our somatic sessions use ‘The Self Holding Method’ of SOMAMYSTICA - which gently guides clients back to equilibrium of the body-mind through a bridge of science, psychology and esoteric practice. This supports the conditions for growth, activation of natural healing and deeper embodiment. This is a compassionate space, providing you with emotional support to help reset an overstimulated nervous system. 

​

We offer two unique types of somatic guidance that will elevate your well-being. Our Seasonal Somatic Restoration Practice powerfully reconnects you nature's rhythms, while Metamorphos expertly combines somatic guidance with energy healing for a comprehensive personalised experience.

​​​​

These sessions are suitable for anyone who is seeking to re-balance or create a greater sense of connection between body and mind. This type of session is particularly useful for those seeking to support recovery from chronic stress, anxiety, CPTSD and depression and works well as an addition to other talking therapies or trauma therapy. Your therapist is trauma informed meaning her training has been specifically tailored to be sensitive to the issues facing those who have experienced trauma. Somatic guidance  is also beneficial for those struggling pain management, fatigue and conditions such as fibromyalgia where bodies are presenting physical symptoms that may be connected to something occurring internally. 

​

In our peaceful and relaxing therapy space we have a comfortable seating area as well as a therapy table and floor space with a yoga mat to host your session. You'll be offered a choice of warm and cold drinks including a selection of herbal teas.

What to Expect

Somatic Guidance - Seasonal Restoration Practice - 60 mins

Each of our seasonal restoration practice sessions is an embodied multi-sensory experience taking you on a journey through the sacred landscape of the body and season. This is a relaxing and restful reset practice for nervous system support. This experience is designed to return the body to its essential nature through embodied connection to self as part of the natural world.

​

Your session will include:

• Seasonal guidance for living in tune with the cycles of nature and the body

• Multi-sensory experience blending guided visualisations, sound, aromas, breathwork and soft textures

• Guided somatic practice for inner attunement, deepened relaxation and nervous system reset

​

Metamorphos - Somatic Guidance & Energy Healing - 90 mins

Our Metamorphos sessions are a blend of customised trauma informed somatic guidance and energy healing. Sessions may include the use of various techniques depending on your individual needs, including somatic, energetic, ritual, psychospiritual and therapeutic modalities. 

​​

These personalised sessions are designed to gently support you back to equilibrium to build and develop nervous system capacity. 

​​

Your first session will be an in depth consultation to explore your desired and intentions for the work together, curate a customised care package and experience a taster of the process. Following this, each of your sessions  are client - focused meaning that the content of each session will be guided by your individual needs. Sessions may include a combination of visualisations, meditation, breathing practices, yoga poses, sitting with and discussing sensations within the body or emotions, creation of a safe space and learning of tools you can take away. All of this is designed to help support the nervous system to safely unwind trauma related tension and emotional blockages. But not just within the session; somatic guidance enables you to create your own toolbox of resources that you can take away and use in everyday life.

​

The work carried out in these sessions has the potential for lasting change and transformation through deepened self confidence, nurturance and connection.

​

Your practitioner will provide:

• Welcoming environment curated to support relaxation and calm

• A trauma informed approach to client care

• Intuitive practitioner guidance and support to move at your own pace

• A holistic approach honouring the mind, body and spirit as one

• A blend of esoteric and psychosomatic modalities and practices to explore together

• Tools to integrate and implement the work in session into your everyday life
