  4 Session Somatic Journey

Nervous System Regulation · Emotional Integration · Body-Led Healing

This Is the Work That Lasts

You’re not broken. You’re patterned.

And patterns don’t change through force, insight alone, or positive thinking. They change when the nervous system finally feels safe enough to reorganize.

​

The Body Remembers is a 4‑session somatic journey designed to gently interrupt long‑standing emotional and physiological patterns without overwhelm, without reliving trauma, and without spiritual bypassing. This is slow, intelligent healing. The kind that sticks.

Who this is for.

This journey is for you if:
 

  • You feel stuck in repeating emotional loops.

  • You’ve done “the work” but still feel dysregulated.

  • You live mostly in your head and want to come home to your body.

  • Stress, overwhelm, or shutdown feel familiar.

  • You want healing that is grounded, respectful, and paced for your needs.

  • You don’t need to know why you feel this way.

  • We start with what your body already knows.

​

Sessions are typically spaced 1–2 weeks apart.  The pace is always adjustable.

This work unfolds in a spiral, not a straight line.

Each session builds safety and capacity

not pressure.

Step 1

The Body remembers

Somatic Pattern Mapping & Orientation

This first session is about clarity, not fixing.

Together, we gently map repeating emotional tones across your life,

where stress or protection lives in your body 

and how your nervous system responds under pressure.
 

We stay out of story and analysis.

We listen to sensation, emotion, and response.

This session often brings relief simply through being accurately reflected.

Clients often leave with a clearer understanding of their patterns,

less confusion about “what’s wrong”a sense of being seen and understood.

This is the beginning of nervous system settling

Step 2

Invitation to Safety

Body - Mind - Emotion - Spirit

Safety is not an idea. It’s a physical experience.

In this session, we explore what safe enough feels like in your system, often for the first time.


We gently introduce regulation practices that support:

  • nervous system settling

  • emotional containment

  • internal resourcing

Nothing is forced. Resistance is respected.
 

This session helps you discover:

  • what actually helps your body regulate

  • what disrupts safety without you realizing it

  • how to return to yourself when activated

This becomes the foundation for all deeper healing work.

Step 3

Invitation to the Healing Journey

Working with one Pattern

By the time you arrive at Session 3, your nervous system has

more information, more safety, and more choice.

This session is an invitation, not a demand.

 

Together, we gently focus on one pattern that feels ready to be met

emotionally, physically, or relationally.

We follow the body’s cues and move at the pace your system allows.

There is no digging for root causes. No pressure to release. No forcing insight.

Healing unfolds through presence, pacing, and regulation.

 

This session may include:

Staying with sensation long enough for it to shift on its own.

Noticing emotions without being overtaken by them.

Moments of clarity, relief, or softening.

Increased sense of agency and internal choice.

Every body heals differently.

What matters is that your system feels supported, not pushed.

Step 4

Completion & Integration

Stabilization & Embodiment

Healing doesn’t land through intensity. It lands through integration.

This final session focuses on helping your nervous system complete the cycle

so changes don’t fade or feel unfinished.
 

Together, we:

  • Reflect on what has shifted (even subtly).

  • Reinforce new capacity and awareness.

  • Support your system in returning to a grounded baseline.

  • Identify simple ways to carry this work into daily life.

This is where meaning is made without myth, pressure, or performance.


Clients often leave feeling:

  • More settled in themselves.

  • Clearer about boundaries and needs.

  • Less reactive and more present.

  • Complete rather than “open” or raw.

This session honours the intelligence of your body and the work it has already done.

To be clear, what this Journey and work is not:

It does not diagnose or treat medical or mental health conditions.

It does not promise instant transformation.

It does not require reliving trauma.

It does not claim that emotions cause illness or life events.
_

​

This work is powerful and it complement other forms of support

but does not replace medical advice or psychology sessions. 

_


Clients do however often experience:
Reduced emotional charge, increased body awareness,

more choice instead of automatic reaction,

greater capacity for rest, presence, and connection

Changes may feel subtle at first.

That’s how nervous system healing works.

Ready to Begin?

The Body Remembers journey is offered as a 4‑session package to support safety, continuity, and integration.

​

If you’re feeling the pull, that’s enough.

Your body already knows the way.

This work simply helps you listen.
