What is Somatic Therapy?

Coach Blu talks about somatic therapy is a holistic approach to mental and emotional well-being that focuses on the connection between the mind and body. At its core, somatic therapy recognizes that our physical experiences and sensations are inextricably linked to our psychological states. Practitioners of this modality believe that unresolved trauma, stress, and other negative emotions can become "stuck" in the body, manifesting as physical tension, pain, or dis-ease. Through gentle, mindful techniques like breathwork, meditation, and physical touch, somatic therapy aims to release these blockages and help clients reconnect with their authentic, embodied selves.
