Best Somatic Therapy in California
There was a time in my life when everything looked fine on the outside.
I was dependable. High achieving. Always the one who had it together.
But underneath that?
My body was exhausted. My mind never slowed down.
And rest felt more like a threat than a relief.
It took me a while to realize that what looked like success was actually survival.
The over-functioning.
The people-pleasing.
The need to stay busy, in control, and composed.
These weren’t just personality traits.
They were responses shaped by what I didn’t get to feel, express, or release.
I wasn’t thriving.
I was coping in the only ways my nervous system knew how.
If that resonates with you, I want you to know that I understand.
There were things I couldn’t think my way out of.
I had the insight.
I had the language.
But my body still felt tense, guarded, tired.
That’s what led me to somatic therapy.
Somatic therapy helped me stop fighting my body and start listening to it.
Instead of trying to “fix” symptoms like overwhelm, numbness, or anxiety,
we got curious about what my body was trying to say.
And slowly, things began to shift.
✨ I started recognizing when I was bracing without even realizing it.
✨ I learned how to move at a pace that felt safe, not forced.
✨ I stopped overriding discomfort and started responding to it with care.
✨ I felt more connected. To myself. To others. To the present moment.
Somatic therapy didn’t erase my history.
It helped my body stop reliving it.
If talk therapy hasn’t touched the places you still feel stuck, there’s another way.
One that starts with the body.
