Thoughtful conversations, professional perspectives.

“When it feels like too much, we can notice that signal from the body, listen to it, honor it, and take a break. That signals safety to the body.”

In this episode of Sensitive Stories, I join host April Snow, LMFT who specializes in working with Highly Sensitive People, to talk about somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and how learning to listen to the body can help us navigate overwhelm. We explore what can happen when we give ourselves permission to prioritize comfort and respond to our body’s needs rather than override them.

We also discuss practical ways to build a more compassionate relationship with the body and use somatic awareness as a resource for feeling more grounded, connected, and at ease.

“It is spiritual, but it’s not only spiritual, it’s also down here on earth. We’re not just going to the mountain tops, we’re not just going to the clouds, we’re bringing that into the body. And we live on earth. We live here in our bodies.”

In this episode of The Bad Therapist Show, I join host Felicia Keller Boyle to share my journey of becoming a somatic therapist, and what first drew me to body-based approaches to therapy. We explore some of the unique benefits of somatic therapy, including how paying attention to the body can deepen the therapeutic process and offer another avenue for understanding our experiences.

We also talk about the importance of boundaries, sustainability, and creating a therapeutic relationship that supports both client and therapist. I share some of the experiences and lessons that have shaped the way I approach my work and my private practice today.

“I started noticing the feedback loop of how anxiety shows up in the body and how…if I could somehow invite my body to take a posture that was different from anxiety, that could shift how I felt inside.”

In this episode of Your Living Body, I join host Lilian Kemanis in conversation to explore somatic therapy and what it can look like to cultivate a more connected, easeful relationship with your body. We discuss the value of paying attention to the body as a source of information and how somatic awareness can help us better understand and respond to our emotional experiences.

I also share more about my approach as a somatic psychotherapist and how building curiosity, compassion, and connection with the body can support greater self-awareness, self-trust, and a sense of ease in everyday life.
