Somatic Therapy

Healing begins in the body long before it reaches the mind.

Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with the wisdom your body has carried for years.
It teaches you how emotions, trauma, and stress show up physically and how to release patterns that talking alone cannot reach.

At NeuroBloom, somatic therapy is gentle, trauma informed and culturally attuned.
We help you understand your nervous system, track sensations, move through survival patterns and return to your body with safety and compassion.

Your body remembers everything.
We help it remember how to feel safe again.

Somatic Therapy at NeuroBloom Mental Health Collective

Your body holds the story. Your body holds the return.

At NeuroBloom, we integrate somatic therapy with neuroscience, cultural context and trauma informed care to help you build safety and alignment within your body.

Somatic therapy helps you learn to:

  • Tune into physical sensations

  • Understand your nervous system states

  • Recognize patterns of freeze, flight or fight

  • Rebuild a sense of internal safety

It is not about controlling your body. It is about partnering with it.

How We Practice Somatic Therapy at NeuroBloom

Somatic therapy can be misunderstood or rushed.
Our approach is slow, paced and safe.

Here is how we practice somatic therapy in a way that supports true healing.

1. Trauma Informed Somatic Therapy

Your body learned to protect you.
We never force you to “drop in” or increase sensation too quickly.

We integrate:

  • Grounding techniques

  • Polyvagal regulation

  • Body based safety building

  • Gentle resourcing

  • Slow emotional pacing

  • Tracking sensations with compassion

Your body sets the pace.
We follow it.

2. Culturally Responsive Somatic Work

Your relationship with your body is shaped by:

  • Family norms

  • Cultural expectations

  • Community survival strategies

  • Gender roles

  • Racialized stress

  • Intergenerational trauma

  • Religious or purity culture rules

We honor all these layers.
Somatic work becomes a way to reclaim embodiment where your culture or history once demanded you disconnect.

3. Neurodivergent Affirming Somatic Therapy

For ADHD and autistic clients, somatic work must be flexible and sensory aware.

We offer:

  • Movement based regulation

  • Sensory grounding

  • Stim friendly practices

  • Embodiment work that fits your nervous system

  • Zero pressure to sit still or be “calm” in a neurotypical way

We adapt the practice to your brain and your body.

4. Mindfulness and Interoception Building

We help you learn:

  • How to notice what is happening in your body

  • How sensations shift

  • How to identify early stress signals

  • How to move toward regulation without fear

This creates emotional clarity and physical grounding.

5. Strengths Based Somatic Therapy

Your body carries:

  • Wisdom

  • Survival intelligence

  • Cultural resilience

  • Creativity

  • Emotional depth

  • An ancient instinct to protect you

Somatic therapy helps you reconnect with that power.
