Sophie DeLuca Counselling in Nelson, BC

Somatic therapy invites you to slow down and turn toward your body, not to fix it, but to listen. You may begin to notice that your body has been carrying messages all along, waiting to be heard. As we build a relationship with these sensations, emotions become easier to be with, one small piece at a time.

What can it support?

Anxiety, Stress, or Overwhelm

Trauma and PTSD

Chronic Pain or Body Tension

Relational Patterns and Attachment Wounds

Highly Sensitive People

Somatic Foundations

Increases
Self-Awareness

By tuning into our bodies, we can better understand how our physical experiences relate to our emotions and thoughts.

Re-negotiates Trauma

Somatic techniques can help release the impact of trauma energy that may be stored in the body, facilitating emotional healing.

Supports Emotional Regulation

As we become more in tune with our bodies, it can become easier to explore and process emotions with greater self-compassion. 

Releases Tension

The body often holds muscle tension as a protective mechanism learned from past experience. By fostering a greater sense of safety, the body can learn to release this tension little by little.

"Our bodies contain our histories — every chapter, line, and verse of every event and relationship in our lives."

I am deeply grateful to live and work in the unceded, traditional, and ancestral territory and təmxʷulaʔxʷ (homeland) of the Sinixt people in Nelson, BC. This land has also been tended by other nations including the Ktunaxa and Syilx peoples. I am committed to learning more about how to support my diverse community.
