Healing Sexual Trauma Through Somatic Therapy
Reclaiming Your Body, Your Boundaries, and Your Sense of Self
I work primarily with women healing from childhood sexual abuse and sexual trauma — especially when those experiences have shaped your relationship to your body, boundaries, relationships, intimacy, and pleasure.
You may have learned early on to disconnect in order to survive. To stay quiet. To stay agreeable. To override your body’s signals because listening didn’t feel safe. Even now, your body may hold fear, numbness, shame, or confusion — especially around touch, desire, or being seen.
Many of the women I work with are thoughtful, capable, and deeply self-aware. And still, their bodies remain on high alert. Intimacy may feel overwhelming or shut down. Pleasure may feel muted, confusing, or unreachable. You might carry a deep sense that something is wrong with you, even though you know — somewhere inside — that what happened was not your fault.
Our work together is slow, relational, and grounded in the body. We begin by creating safety and steadiness, helping your nervous system feel more supported. Through somatic therapy, we listen to your body’s protective responses, honor how they helped you survive, and gently build capacity for choice, boundaries, and presence. We focus on rebuilding what was lost: safety in your body, trust in yourself and others, healthy boundaries, and the capacity to feel pleasure and connection.
Healing sexual trauma is not about pushing yourself to feel ready for intimacy or pleasure. It’s about restoring your relationship with your body, so that desire, connection, and aliveness can emerge naturally, in their own time.
If you’re tired of carrying this alone, and something in you knows it’s time for deeper healing, I offer a free 30-minute consultation. You don’t need to have the right words, just a willingness to begin.
Through this gentle, attuned work, you may begin to:
Reconnect to your body — feel more present and at home in your body
Restore safety and regulation in the nervous system
Release shame and self-blame that never belong to you
Repair relational wounds and rebuild trust in connection
Reclaim boundaries, choice, desire, and pleasure safely and gradually
Embody your full self — experience a deeper sense of wholeness in your body, relationships, and life
In our sessions, we may gently explore:
Somatic awareness — noticing sensations, tension, and responses in your body
Resource building & regulation — practices that strengthen your nervous system and sense of safety
Somatic relating — exploring boundaries, trust, and connection in a grounded, embodied way
Somatic sex education — learning about sexual responses, pleasure, and choice in a safe context
Everything we do is guided by your readiness. We prioritize integration over intensity, depth without overwhelm, and consent at every step.
This work is intended for deeper, ongoing healing rather than crisis support or acute stabilization. If you are currently in crisis or feeling unsafe, this may not be the right support for you at this time.
