Welcome to
Back To Your Body -
Online Somatic Therapy
The somatic therapy we offer is a body-oriented process that supports nervous system regulation and trauma resolution over time. It helps you gradually shift out of stress and survival patterns by including your body in the healing process.
Our sessions happen online, and we work with adults worldwide. What guides our approach is compassion and care as we gently attend to the emotional and relational wounds your body holds.
What Brings You Here?
You might look fine on the outside, but inside, you may feel:
● disconnected from your body and stuck in your head
● bothered by physical symptoms that won’t go away
● burned out, chronically tired or sleeping poorly
● anxious, reactive or highly sensitive when everything feels too much
● trapped in a loop of Fight, Flight, Freeze or Fawn
● struggling to feel safe in relationships or manage relational difficulties
The truth is, you are not new to healing and not starting from zero:
You might have been doing yoga, breathwork, or meditation. You may have been in talk therapy for quite a while, and you have a good awareness of your patterns.
But something in you remains unresolved.
You are sensing that your body is keeping the score, and you’re beginning to pay attention to it. Your intuition tells you that somatic healing might be the place where the stress and trauma your body carries can begin to shift.
If this resonates, this is a space to explore it further.
How Does Somatic Therapy Help?
Somatic therapy helps your nervous system find a sense of safety. It reconnects you with your body’s innate intelligence while you are being seen and met, allowing your old protective responses to soften in their own way.
It’s not about reliving the past or retelling the story. Instead, body-based approaches like Somatic Experiencing ® (SE) meet you where you are, gently guiding you back to your body so you can gradually process and release what you’ve been holding inside.
As your system begins to settle, you might notice moments of feeling more peaceful, alive or connected both within yourself and in your relationships.
The wonderful part is: your body already knows how to heal. Sometimes, it just needs help to feel safe enough to move in that direction.
Meet Your Somatic Therapists
We are Somatic Experiencing Practitioners (SEP) trained in the method of Dr. Peter Levine. Our work is grounded in an understanding of trauma, nervous system and attachment, while each of us brings our own therapeutic focus and way of working.
We are also humans who have walked our own healing paths. Our professional expertise in body-based approaches and our lived experience allow us to hold space for our clients with compassion, competence and grounded presence.
We live in Asia and work online with clients from all over the world.

Types of trauma we address:
Somatic Therapy For Single Traumatic Events And Repeated Trauma
Shock Trauma
If you have experienced a major surgery, car accident, natural disaster or physical abuse, your nervous system might still be in a state of shock or hypervigilance. We can support you in coming out of this frozen or reactive state and rediscover a sense of safety in your body, wholeness and agency.
Attachment and Developmental Trauma
If you notice that wounds from your childhood resurface in your daily life or affect your current relationships, early attachment and developmental trauma might be the reason. In our sessions, we offer a consistent space, attuned presence and guidance so you can start to heal those early ruptures, reclaim your embodied sense of self and build a secure connection with yourself and others.
Generational, Collective & Systemic Trauma
You may have done your personal healing, but you sense that the challenges you’re facing go beyond your individual experience. If so, we offer a space to explore those inherited and collective wounds within you to find strength and resilience for yourself and generations to come.
Let's make sure we are a good fit.
Who We Work With
You are longing for change, but not looking for a quick ‘fix’ or for someone to fix you. Deep down, you wish the healing were faster and not so hard, but you also know that deep transformation takes time and effort. You see the value of intentional and focused therapy that invites you to grow and change, but you don’t want it to last forever.

You might have been searching for answers on your own or with the help of others for quite a while. Now you’ve come to a point where you want to explore your inner world through your body – something that, perhaps, has been missing from your healing, and you need guidance in doing so.
•
Or maybe something really intense happened recently that stirred up overwhelming feelings or bodily sensations, and you are looking for help to process them and calm your nervous system.
