My Story
Let’s begin in the year 2016.
I was a senior in college and started to experience multiple panic attacks a day. The days were hard, and I realized I was struggling to survive. I had been seeing a talk therapist regularly for many years prior, and she recommended I start seeing a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP). I never heard of an SEP or somatic experiencing in general, but I knew I needed help. I was willing to try anything.
Each session I started to learn more about my nervous system. I realized the overarching fear was “my body is not safe”. With the techniques of SE and a skilled SEP, I gently and slowly learned my body is in fact safe and I can trust it. The sensations that used to trigger me started to become signals to check in. I started to connect to my body instead of trying to fight it. I started to discover and connect to me. I never knew that is what I was missing on my healing journey … me!
Fast forward to 2020 when I received a nudge to start the journey to becoming an SEP. I experienced firsthand how transformational this modality can be, and I want to share it with all who are ready. This is the heart behind Every Day Somatic. There is not a day that goes by where I am not using the tools and resources, I guide clients to use. Navigating these bodies, we were given can be difficult, confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes scary. Let SE help reintroduce you to your nervous system and see what thriving is like.
I became a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner in 2023 from Somatic Experiencing International and have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from Millersville University.
