Angie has a true gift! Through working with Angie, I discovered trauma that I was holding in my body and with her guidance I was able to release that trauma. She creates a space that is warm, loving, and safe. Her practice engages you in a comfortable and inviting way and her voice is truly so kind and soothing. I do not understand how the body-mind connection works, but it does. I highly recommend trusting Angie to work with you and help your body process what it is holding. Angie is a true professional and so knowledgeable and dedicated to her practice. It is well worth your time and investment.”

Do you ever notice the effect physical pain or injury can have on your emotions? Or how your body feels when you experience stress, anger or grief?

Maybe you have been in a state of fight or flight and find it difficult to relax. Maybe you have been in a freeze and actually haven’t felt your body for some time.

Or maybe you have heard trauma is stored in the body, and you wonder what your own body holds or remembers.

Early fears and challenging life experiences make big imprints on the body and nervous system. Often the brain rushes ahead, leaving the body in the dust and the nervous system in shambles.

If talking about it is getting you nowhere, it’s time to get to the root, which means getting back in your body.

And the good news is, the body and brain can rewire…at any age.

“Soma” is the Greek word for living body. Somatic movement is gentle, therapeutic movement that helps you feel grounded, centered and alive inside your soma. Somatic movement repatterns your nervous system, resulting in improved mental focus, deeper relaxation and increased energy. There are no poses or prescribed “exercises” to learn because it’s about your soma thriving in your world.

Trauma-informed somatic movement therapy helps you recognize and work with blocked and limiting movement patterns. (We all have them!) These “stuck” patterns can typically be traced back to early fears, grief or trauma.

Are you ready to move from fight-flight to FREEDOM? It’s time to get back in your body!
