What somatic therapy actually involves, and how people use it.
Somatic therapy works with the connection between body and mind, using awareness of physical sensation, movement and breath to support people, often in relation to stress and difficult experiences.
Sessions are usually talk-based but also pay attention to what you notice in your body. The practitioner works gently and at your pace. Sessions usually last 50 to 60 minutes, in person or online.
Fees vary by practitioner and approach. Many practitioners on Welvow list their pricing on their profile.
