You’ve talked. You’ve reflected. You’ve tried coping strategies. Yet, your body still feels tense, locked, or out of sync.

You know the issue isn't what's wrong with your mind, but how your body – and your nervous system – carries and remembers stress.

Here, we offer an embodied approach to healing that gently invites your body back into balance, regulation, and inner safety.


Why Nervous System Regulation Matters

The nervous system is not just a support system – it is how we experience safety, presence, and connection.

When it’s stuck in states of fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown, our bodies respond before our minds even catch up. These survival responses are deeply wired, and not something you choose. Recognizing that your nervous system is doing its job – trying to keep you safe – is the first step toward compassion and healing.


What This Work Can Help With

  • Chronic anxiety, overwhelm, or difficulty settling into rest

  • Patterns of tension, pain, or emotional shutting down

  • Struggling to shift out of survival modes—not just mentally, but felt deeply in the body

What Does Regulation Feel Like in the Body?

  • A sense of safety that is lived, not just understood

  • Softening in places you didn’t know were tight—like shoulders, jaw, belly, or breath

  • An internal rhythm shifting from rigidity to a felt ease

  • Presence without effort; grounding without strain


Regulation as a Felt Experience – not a Concept

This work isn't about intellectually understanding your nervous system – it’s about experiencing shifts from chronic arousal into a state of felt safety and spaciousness. It’s about noticing what it feels like when your system learns it doesn’t have to defend all the time.

If this resonates, you’re in the right place.
Let’s explore how nervous system regulation might support your healing – not just in talk, but felt in every cell.

The Results are Real

Working with Susan has been life changing. Through her somatic bodywork, she helped me rewire my nervous system and gave me the tools and resources to get the best rest I have had in years. Beyond just relaxation, she guided me to reconfigure the way I operate in my day to day life, allowing my body and mind to finally feel more at peace.
