Welcome to a different kind of healing journey—one that honors the wisdom already held within your body.
When unresolved experiences live in our nervous systems, they create patterns that no amount of cognitive understanding alone can shift. As someone who has navigated my own healing path through developmental trauma, I've witnessed firsthand how somatic work accesses transformation where traditional approaches often plateau.
My practice offers specialized support for those struggling with the physical symptoms of anxiety, the subtle ways childhood experiences shape adult relationships, and the unique challenges mothers face in breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma.
​
Through our work together, you'll discover not just relief from symptoms, but a profound reconnection to your authentic self and the capacity for secure, fulfilling connections.
Your Healing Journey: What to Expect
Our work together moves beyond insight to create embodied change—addressing both what's missing in your developmental story and helping you reclaim the aliveness that became suppressed.
For those with attachment wounds, we'll identify the missing experiences of safety, attunement, and mirroring that your nervous system still seeks. Through carefully paced somatic techniques, we create corrective experiences that your body—not just your mind—can recognize and integrate.
Simultaneously, we'll reconnect with parts of yourself that became disconnected during overwhelming experiences—sensations, emotions, and authentic expressions that were too much for your system to process. Using Somatic Experiencing® methods, we restore these dormant capacities for presence and joy that traditional talk therapy often cannot access.
Your unique journey may include:
-
Feeling calm in your body during difficult conversations instead of shutting down
-
Trusting your own needs and boundaries without constant second-guessing
-
Enjoying spontaneous connection without the exhaustion of hypervigilance
-
Finding comfort in closeness rather than feeling suffocated or abandoned
-
For mothers, responding to your child's emotions from presence instead of old triggers
Throughout our sessions, you'll develop a new relationship with your body—transforming it from a source of anxiety signals to a vibrant, responsive ally in building the connected, authentic life you deserve.
Client Transformation Stories:
"Working with Rachel transformed my relationship with myself at the deepest level. Her somatic approach helped me understand why I'd get overwhelmed in social situations and shut down during difficult conversations. She connected patterns I never saw before, showing how my nervous system's response affected everything from relationships to eating patterns. For the first time, I feel truly regulated during challenges that used to completely derail me. Rachel provided not just insight but the physiological relief I couldn't find in years of traditional therapy."
"Before working with Rachel, I constantly felt 'tangled' in my thoughts. Through our somatic sessions, I discovered how my nervous system had been holding patterns of self-doubt that no amount of positive thinking could shift. Rachel guided me to notice subtle physical sensations that were actually doorways to profound change. The most remarkable transformation was learning to regulate my attachment responses in real time—suddenly relationships felt safer and my authentic self could emerge. Her body-centered approach built an internal security I never thought possible."
"Rachel's somatic approach transformed how I experience relationships and myself. She helped me recognize how boundary struggles and intimacy fears were stored in my nervous system. Through our work, I learned to approach connections in a way that felt safe for my body. What changed everything was discovering how to be kinder to myself—feeling it physically rather than just thinking it. While some patterns may always be present, Rachel provided body-centered tools that help me navigate triggers with regulation instead of self-criticism. 10/10 would recommend."
