Restoring balance through your body's natural capacity for healing and resilience.
somatic experiencing®
From a nervous system perspective, each of us is an embodiment of the accumulation of life experiences.
The more challenging those experiences were, the more likely they are to show up as physiological symptoms, pervasive stress, anxiety, chronic pain, depression, or dissociation.
Somatic Experiencing provides support to gradually undo these patterns whether you are aware of their roots or not, so that resilience, flexibility, and ease in life can return. You will experience positive, lasting shifts in the way you respond to life, its ups and downs and all those you share it with.

SE utilizes a gentle, paced approach to complete survival, self-protective and /or nervous system responses that remain activated (or partially activated) in the system. The fulfillment of these impulses addresses the causal factors of their traumatic experiences which leads to sustainable healing and change.
The SE®
Approach
SE helps people re-organise and integrate past stressful or incompletely processed experiences including traumatic shock. This supports the restoration of inner and outer connections which is key to transforming PTSD and the wounds of emotional and early developmental trauma.
How SE®
Helps Heal
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a body-oriented and somatically-led approach to healing trauma and other stressful experiences. Grounded in neuroscience, physiology, psychology and biology, SE focuses on the body’s natural capacity
to restore health, balance, resilience and sense of self.
What is Somatic Experiencing®
se® specializes in stress & trauma resolution
Feel “stuck” with treatment-resistant symptoms or patterns
Experienced trauma or have PTSD, or C-PTSD
experienced disruption in attachment or now struggle with relational issues
contend with physiological or emotional impacts of stress
Seek greater emotional or nervous system resilience
Wish for greater flexibility in nervous system responses
SE is especially effective for people who:
have adverse lingering effects from accidents, falls, surgeries or injuries
Understanding what happened in your life can be meaningful. But lasting change only takes place when survival responses, impulses, completions and balance have been restored in your body-mind. Somatic Experiencing works directly with bodily sensations, movement and interoceptive awareness at the somatic, physiological level - the root of stored experience.
Sessions may be eligible for reimbursement under certain extended health insurance plans, depending on your provider and coverage.
Your body holds the imprints of unresolved experiences. Somatic Experiencing® works directly with bodily sensations and nervous system states to restore balance at the root level.

“I connected with Dawn during my own health transformation journey and even though our interactions were focused on specific techniques, the impact was meaningful. What stood out most was her ability to make the techniques feel simple, accessible and immediately helpful. Dawn brings a grounded, compassionate presence that makes you feel supported and understood. I’m grateful for the role she played in my journey and highly recommend Dawn to anyone seeking thoughtful, practical support.”
Chanelle
"I have worked with many scientific experts and spiritual healers over my 37yrs, and Dawn truly offers something special. I was amazed at how she said exactly what I needed to hear and did exactly what I needed at the time I needed it. I was very inspired by how Dawn heard so clearly and held such a safe nurturing space. She is definitely living (one of) her life purpose(s).”
