How we work together
This is where our work begins, in that subtle pull toward reconnection, and in the quiet trust that it is possible to come home to yourself again. Change does not come from forcing yourself to be different. In somatic therapy, change happens by creating the right conditions for reconnection to awaken and by meeting what is here now, so that new experiences of safety, belonging and self-trust can emerge. This work is not about fixing what is broken. It is about remembering what was never lost.
1:1 Somatic Therapy
Personalised support for deep healing and regulation
My 1:1 somatic therapy sessions offer a slow, body-led approach to working with trauma, freeze, overwhelm and emotional numbness. This work is relational, attuned and deeply respectful of your pace, and we listen to the body rather than pushing for insight or change. Where it feels right for you, sessions may include NeuroAffective Touch®, a gentle approach that works directly with the nervous system, and touch is always your choice. Sessions are available online and face to face in Beverley, East Yorkshire.
Somatic Self-Healing Book Club
Coming Soon
Reading about trauma and the body can help so much, and it can also stir things up when you are reading on your own. The Somatic Self-Healing Club is a bit like a book club, except that alongside chatting about the book, we will also notice how it feels in the body, taking things at a pace that feels manageable.
I am setting it up with my friend Amy, who is also a somatic therapist. We won’t be standing at the front as the experts, because we are just as curious as everyone else, so our job is to set things up, keep it feeling comfortable and let the club grow from what everyone brings to it.
It is still taking shape, and we are hoping to start in the new year. The first people to hear about it will be those who get The Sunday Pause, my Sunday email, so if you would like to be one of them, you can sign up below.
“Laura was a revelation. For the first time I learned how to truly recognise the patterns in my body and what it feels like to be deeply relaxed.”
