A Somatic Healing Intensive is a personalized treatment program that allows you to focus deeply on 1-3 specific areas of healing over a concentrated period of time. Instead of weekly 50-minute sessions spread over months, you'll engage in extended 90-minute sessions designed to create profound shifts in your nervous system and body.

The intensive format includes an initial intake session, 4-10 core healing sessions, and a follow-up session—all completed within 3-6 weeks. This allows for consistent momentum in your healing journey without the repeated weekly interruptions common in traditional therapy.

An intensive format accelerates your healing because there's no time lost on:

• Weekly check-ins that pull focus away from your primary healing goals

• Addressing weekly crises that interrupt the deeper work

• Constantly re-establishing safety and trust at the beginning of each session

• Running out of time just as you're getting to the core issue

Because intensives reduce your overall time in treatment, they tend to be more cost-effective than months of traditional weekly therapy. They're also ideal if you have difficulty taking a lot of time away from work or other responsibilities during business hours each week.

Many people choose an intensive because they're in pain, and they don't want to wait months or years to find relief and improve their lives. The weekly-session model was designed for convenience of scheduling, not for your healing—an intensive is a more efficient, effective, and evolved way to do somatic work.

Before we begin the intensive work, we'll meet for a 90-minute Intake Session to determine your specific healing goals. We'll explore what your life looks like now, including current stressors, your support system, and how trauma or pain shows up in your body. We'll also identify where you want relief, growth, or transformation.

During the intensive sessions, we'll work with your nervous system and body through somatic practices that help you release stored trauma, reduce chronic pain, and build new patterns of safety and regulation. This deep body-based work happens through gentle awareness, breath, movement, and nervous system regulation techniques.

After the intensive, we'll meet for a 90-minute Follow-Up Session to integrate what you've processed and learned, reflect on what was most meaningful, and create a plan for continuing to embody these shifts in your daily life.

• You want to experience deep healing work that can change your life quickly

• You're dealing with chronic pain, childhood trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, eating disorders, or addiction

• You have some time available and want to dedicate it to transformative healing work

• You've tried talk therapy before but feel like your body holds the key to your healing

• You want to prepare yourself for a big life transition or break through a stuck pattern

• You're ready to invest in yourself and accelerate your healing journey

Yes. A growing body of research shows that intensive application of trauma-focused therapy is well-tolerated and enables faster symptom reduction with similar or even better results than weekly therapy. Intensive formats also reduce the risk of dropping out prematurely.

Studies on somatic approaches demonstrate that working directly with the body and nervous system can create lasting change in trauma responses, chronic pain patterns, and emotional regulation—especially when done in a concentrated format that builds momentum.

The economic advantage is also compelling: intensive therapy can decrease treatment time significantly compared to traditional weekly sessions.
