"Trauma is a fact of life. It does not, however, have to be a life sentence." 

Peter Levine, PhD

At B-rooted Counselling, we believe true healing happens when we reconnect with the body, mind, and spirit as a whole. Somatic therapy offers a holistic approach that invites you to explore the deep connection between your physical sensations, emotions, and experiences. It’s a gentle yet powerful way to heal trauma—whether big or small—by tuning into your body’s natural wisdom and providing a safe space for it to release what it has been holding.

Unresolved trauma doesn’t just live in the mind—it gets stored in the body, affecting everything from your relationships and health to your overall sense of well-being. Somatic therapy helps you transition from a state of survival to one of thriving, supporting your journey to reclaim your vitality, peace, and freedom.

Through this approach, we work together to:

  • Awaken awareness: Tune into the physical sensations in your body, helping you understand when you are unconsciously entering fight, flight, or freeze responses

  • Release tension: Use movement, breath, and focused techniques to help release deeply-held tension and emotions

  • Strengthen boundaries: Build a deeper sense of personal empowerment, so you can feel grounded and in control

  • Regulate your nervous system: Bring balance and calm to your system, which helps you respond to life’s challenges with clarity instead of overwhelm

Somatic therapy is especially helpful for addressing a range of mental and physical health issues, including:

  • PTSD and C-PTSD

  • Anxiety and depression

  • Grief and loss

  • Addiction

  • Stress and burnout

Through the combination of mindful awareness, body-centered techniques, and emotional release, this therapy empowers you to heal on a deeper level—bringing more balance, peace, and self-connection. As you learn to calm your nervous system and release stuck energy, you reclaim a sense of personal agency, allowing you to live more freely and fully.

Whether you’ve been struggling with the effects of trauma for years or you’re simply looking for a new way to deepen your healing process, somatic therapy can be a powerful addition to your journey. It would be an honor to walk alongside you as you reconnect to your innate state of love, resilience, and wholeness.

Your body knows the way—let’s listen to it together.
