Somatic Release

Somatic release refers to practices and techniques that focus on the connection between the body and mind to help individuals release stored tension and trauma from their bodies. It emphasizes the physical aspect of emotional experiences, recognizing that emotions can manifest physically and that resolving these physical manifestations can lead to emotional healing. Forms of somatic release include acupuncture, reflexology, breathwork and yoga.
