EMDR & Somatic Awareness

Body-aware, evidence-based therapy for processing difficult memories and reducing distress.

A grounded, calming moment of self-care

About this service

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain process distressing memories so they lose their grip. Paired with somatic awareness, it also attends to how stress and trauma live in the body.

You don't have to relive every detail to heal. EMDR works with how memories are stored, helping reduce their emotional charge while you stay grounded and in control.

Safety comes first. We never push faster than you're ready, and somatic tools help you stay present throughout.
