For six years, Follow Your Alignment has been a place where science meets soul, with trauma informed, somatic and energetic healing.
After years in survival mode, somatic work gently shows your nervous system what calm feels like again, so you can move forward.
Your body keeps its own record of what you've lived through, and sometimes it needs more than words to let go.
What is somatic therapy?
Somatic therapy works with what you feel physically: the tight shoulders, the shallow breath, the knot in your stomach. Instead of only analyzing your thoughts, we slow down and listen to those signals together. Over time, your body learns that it's safe to soften. Many clients pair this work with Massage Therapy to release tension on a deeper physical level.
