Somatic work vs traditional talk therapy
Somatic work is not talk therapy, but they can overlap, and compliment each other well.
In talk therapy the focus is talking through experiences and emotions, mentally thinking through how things impact your life, and how you can improve or resolve negative feelings.
In somatic work, the focus is on your physical body. There is a certain amount of talking and sharing, but the focus is always brought back to how what you share feels within your body. We bridge the gap that can form between your mental and physical being.
I always remind people: Your body has been with you through every experience in your life, just as your mind has, so it is crucial to keep your physical and mental lines of communication open.
Benefits you can experience from somatic work:
✨Reduced feelings of stress
✨Physical relief from chronic pain

Hello! My name is Tamara, I am a certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner, and my joy is to support other humans.
I believe our bodies are capable of more than we give them credit for. I believe that intention is perhaps the single most important skill we can nurture. It sets the tone for every experience and interaction we have, both with the outside world as well as within our own bodies.
I discovered somatic work for myself as I was researching anxiety and sleep issues for a friend. I came across information about the vagus nerve, and followed that fantastic rabbit hole straight into somatic work. In my own life had been dealing with years of post partum depression, and the more I learned about this fabulous nerve and the actual scientifically proven mind/body connection we all have, I knew I needed to try the work for myself. It led me on a journey of self healing that was more deep and profound than anything I could have imagined. I felt the release of traumas I never thought I would be able to let go of. I learned the power of presence and intentionality.
