What is Somatic Healing? A therapy that helps you heal trauma and stress stored in the body, discovery how.

Reconnecting Mind and Body for True Restoration

What is Somatic Healing? | Reconnect with Your Body Through Therapy

When we experience trauma or chronic stress, it’s not just our minds that are affected, our bodies often carry the weight of it long after the event has passed.

Somatic healing is a therapeutic approach that recognises the deep connection between emotional well-being and the body’s responses. It invites you to go beyond words and begin healing through physical awareness and regulation.

Why Healing Must Include the Body

When we experience trauma or chronic stress, it’s not only our minds that are impacted, our bodies often carry the invisible scars. Somatic healing recognises that emotional healing must involve the body, because trauma lives in the nervous system, not just in memory. Without reconnecting to the body, true restoration can remain out of reach.

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”— Peter A. Levine, PhD

How Somatic Healing Works

Unlike traditional talk therapy, somatic healing invites you to heal through:

• Breathwork and grounding exercises

• Gentle movement and posture awareness

• Mindful tracking of bodily sensations and nervous system responses

• Developing tools to regulate emotions from within

At Mimi Jordan Counselling, we integrate somatic tools with psychological therapies to help you feel safe, grounded, and whole again. Whether you are navigating trauma, anxiety, grief, or life transitions, somatic healing empowers you to listen to your body’s wisdom and unlock your natural resilience.

Your Body is the Bridge to Healing

Healing doesn't happen to you, it happens through you. By tuning into your body, you unlock your innate ability to heal, grow, and thrive.

We would love to hear how reconnecting with your body has helped your healing journey.
