FAQs

  • SOMA Therapy is a body-based therapeutic approach that integrates elements of somatic experiencing, neuromuscular repatterning, and manual therapy to release stored tension, trauma, and chronic holding patterns in the body. It is designed to restore balance to both the nervous system and physical structure, supporting long-term healing and resilience.

  • While SOMA may involve hands-on work, it goes far beyond traditional massage or physical therapy. The focus is on addressing the root of physical or emotional discomfort by engaging the nervous system and working with the body’s natural capacity to heal and reorganize. It combines gentle touch, movement guidance, and nervous system regulation—not just muscle manipulation.
