Get Into Your Body, Babe: Why Somatic Healing Is the Real Deal
Let’s be real—healing isn’t just about talking it out or doing another “self-care Sunday” with a face mask and a glass of wine. Sometimes, the key to feeling better is getting out of your head and back into your body. That’s where somatic healing comes in—and trust me, it’s not just a buzzword. It’s science-backed, soul-deep, and wildly transformative.
This summer at the office, we’re turning up the volume on healing with a full-on Somatic Summer Series that’ll have your nervous system sighing in relief. We’re talking somatic yoga therapy, a vagus nerve reset (yes please), and some deeply nurturing inner child work. Let’s dive into what somatic healing is, why it’s amazing, and why your body is practically begging you to sign up.
So… What Is Somatic Healing?
In short? Somatic healing is all about using the body as a pathway to emotional healing. Instead of just talking about your stress, trauma, or burnout (although talking can be great), somatic practices help you feel it and release it—through movement, breath, sensation, and stillness.
When we go through tough stuff, our bodies often hold onto it—tension in your jaw, tight shoulders, gut issues, chronic pain… yeah, that’s not random. Somatic work helps you gently get in touch with what’s stuck and lovingly guide it out.
And no, we’re not just making this up! Studies show somatic therapies can seriously reduce PTSD and depression symptoms

Benefits That Go Beyond the Buzz
Somatic practices aren’t just trendy—they’re actually effective. Some of the juicy benefits include:
✨ Less stress, more chill – Your nervous system will thank you.
✨ Better emotional regulation – You’ll freak out less and feel more grounded.
✨ Improved physical health – Say buh-bye to tension and chronic pain.
✨ Deeper trauma healing – Because your body remembers, and it’s ready to let go.
Even somatic yoga specifically has been shown to help folks dealing with chronic pain, fatigue, and post-chemo recovery.

Our Summer Somatic Healing Series: A Little Bit of Magic
We’re bringing you three amazing workshops this summer to help you reconnect, reset, and remember who you are. Each one is designed to meet you exactly where you're at—with just enough woo to keep it fun, and just enough science to keep it real.
1. Somatic Yoga Therapy
Think of this as yoga’s more intuitive cousin. With slow, intentional movement and juicy breathwork, you’ll tune into your body and start unhooking from stress and stored tension. Perfect for anyone feeling tight, tense, or disconnected.
Bonus: This work is deeply nourishing for nervous system regulation.
2. Vagus Nerve Reset
Never heard of the vagus nerve? Well, it’s kind of the Beyoncé of your nervous system. When it’s happy, you’re happy. This workshop uses sound, breath, and gentle movement to stimulate that nerve and invite in some serious calm.
Bonus: Vagus nerve stimulation is legit enough to be an FDA-approved treatment for depression.
3. Inner Child Somatic Work
It’s time to meet the tender, playful, maybe slightly bruised inner kiddo inside you—and give them the love and validation they needed all along. This work is potent and powerful, and yes, tissues may be involved.
Because grown-up healing often starts with baby-you.
