Somatic therapy works directly with the nervous system and physiological holding patterns that develop in response to stress, trauma, or prolonged emotional strain.

Rather than focusing solely on conversation, this approach integrates structured therapeutic dialogue with externally applied somatic techniques and guided nervous system regulation.

The aim is restoration of internal regulation and improved embodied awareness.

Pelvic-focused somatic work refers to body-based therapeutic work that includes awareness of the pelvis as part of the nervous system and emotional regulation process.

The pelvic region is closely connected to stress adaptation, bracing patterns, attachment responses and protective tension. In some women, prolonged stress or relational conditioning may lead to chronic holding patterns in this area.

In session, this work involves guided awareness, breath, regulation and, where appropriate and consented to, external body-based techniques. The aim is to support physiological release and improved nervous system stability.

It is not a medical procedure and does not replace medical or gynaecological care.

This practice may be appropriate for women experiencing:

• Chronic tension
• Nervous system dysregulation
• Emotional shutdown or disconnection
• Relational or developmental trauma history
• Persistent stress patterns

Clients include leaders, performers, and public figures who require discretion, privacy, and a personalised, trauma-informed approach.

All clients are screened prior to booking.

Each session lasts 90-120 minutes in a private setting. It begins with a brief conversation and grounding, followed by guided breathwork, affirmations, and somatic release techniques. Sessions conclude with time for reflection and integration, leaving the client feeling centred and lighter.

Sessions typically include:

• Initial check-in
• Nervous system assessment
• Guided somatic regulation
• Targeted therapeutic intervention
• Integration and grounding

Standard session length: 90 minutes.

Each session lasts approximately 90 - 120 minutes, beginning with a grounding conversation and optional preparation time, followed by guided somatic release, and concluding with reflection and integration.

Talk therapy primarily engages cognitive and verbal processing.

Somatic therapy with An, works directly with bodily responses, muscular tension patterns, autonomic activation, and interoceptive awareness. It blends psychological insight, somatic techniques and breathwork regulation to release what words alone cannot.

Consent, boundaries, and safety are emphasised at every stage. All work is conducted in a private, professional, and supportive environment, ensuring the experience remains therapeutic, respectful, and safe.
