Vida Somatic Therapy

Ask yourself the following questions: When was the last time you felt like yourself? Are you experiencing frightening pictures or memories that keep popping into your mind? Are you having trouble sleeping? Are you having stomach problems? Is your heart racing all the time? Do you feel like something bad is always going to happen? Do you feel numb and depressed? Are you feeling disconnected from everyone? Even after a major life event or traumatic experience has passed, we often feel discomfort in our bodies. Vida Somatic Therapy works alongside people to ease their physical and mental discomfort. Through Somatic Experiencing, people can learn to recognize the stress patterns that are held in the body and utilize skills to restore balance and comfort. We are focused on perinatal health for new and experienced families. We also see children and teens individually to support them and their parents with working through behavioral and social challenges. Often times after the birth of a child (even if your child is not a baby anymore), women struggle to feel like themselves or to connect with a support system. Sometimes the desire to connect is there, though there are unspoken barriers to relationships. Postpartum anxiety and depression are common and treatable with compassion, education and community.
