SE Bodywork

Somatic Experiencing bodywork focuses on using tools of very gentle touch by the practitioner to facilitate awareness by the patient, and through that awareness the release of stress and trauma from various tissues and fluids in the body. Done clothed, sometimes on a massage table, sometimes seated, this work can be instrumental in accessing and healing areas of difficulty in movement, digestion, pain, injuries and surgeries.

The presence of the practitioners hands on the body in a safe and gentle way can help the client to gain sensations and awareness of their body in ways that can lead to more healing. Attunement by a skilled practitioner can facilitate shifts in the body, and thereby the awareness and experience by the client in such a way as to bring about settling, relaxing, and sometimes discharge of deeply held layers of stress and trauma in the tissues of the body and in the nervous system.
