Skylark Somatic Therapy (She/Her)

I have dedicated my practice to helping women overcome the internalized beliefs, fear, and self-doubt often rooted in our relationships with primary caregivers and childhood experiences. You may feel lost, broken, hopeless, or even wonder, 'What's wrong with me?' because you're struggling to create a work-life balance, set boundaries in your relationships, or prioritize self-care. I'm here to help you navigate these challenges effectively. I use body-based exercises that strengthen the mind-body connection and holistic contemplative practices to nurture mindful awareness, self-regulation, and creative expression. Together, we will explore your upbringing and the significant life events that have shaped your beliefs and behaviors. This approach is not about blaming your parents or anyone else. Instead, it will teach you about neurodevelopment and how childhood trauma affects your stress response, how you experience and express emotions, and how you relate to yourself and others. We then collaborate on developing tools to help you regulate your emotions, creating an internalized safe space to approach your thoughts and behaviors with curiosity and compassion. My support and guidance will empower you to constructively manage your responses to internal and external triggers. We will develop your resources and explore practical ways to incorporate simple daily practices that reduce the impact of chronic stress and the symptoms of complex trauma on your health and well-being, ultimately creating more spaciousness and joy in your life. I support women experiencing: - Chronic tension, muscle pain, or unexplained aches - Digestive issues or gut discomfort linked to stress - Headaches or migraines - Fatigue and low energy despite rest - Difficulty sleeping or frequent nightmares - Feeling emotionally numb or disconnected - Anxiety, hypervigilance, or chronic fear - Shame, self-blame, or harsh inner criticism - Intense mood swings or emotional overwhelm - Difficulty trusting, setting boundaries, or maintaining relationships. Somatic therapy offers a compassionate, embodied path toward restoring your sense of safety, connection, and wholeness. Healing is possible—your body holds the wisdom to guide you there.
