Mind-body integrative trauma healing sessions
For those who have anxiety, unrestful sleep, emotion or trauma trapped inside the body whether you know it’s origin or not, somatic work is for you. Instead of holding physical or emotional pain, you’ll discover aliveness, peace and a deeper connection to your true self.

Benefits of SOMATIC TRAUMA HEALING

Stop just surviving and start thriving
When you were little it’s likely you learned that either it wasn’t safe to have your feelings, express them or be in your body. You felt like your survival depended on it. Gently moving out this old emotion and energy from your body tells your brain and nervous system that you’re safe. That’s when you start thriving.

Heal your nervous system
Nervous system dysregulation is caused by unprocessed emotion and trauma. By allowing this to gently move through the physical body, your nervous system no longer needs to keep replaying what happened in the past, that’s kept you stuck until now. You’ll build a nervous system based in capacity, resilience and balance.

Move through life transitions with ease
Change or the desire for change often resurfaces past trauma, emotion and limiting beliefs because you are stretching into the unknown. This an opportunity to heal, grow and expand into the life you most desire.
What You Get
1 on 1 In-person Sessions
In 2 hour in-person sessions held at my home office in Topanga, together we’ll attune to your body’s natural language to track sensation, emotion and belief systems in real time. The session primarily takes place on the massage table, fully clothed, where you’ll receive gentle pressure on specific neuro-somatic points to encourage release. This process accesses trauma held in the autonomic nervous system and subcortical brain, allowing survival patterns, suppressed emotion and limiting beliefs to resurface for resolution.
1 on 1 Online Sessions
Using presence, attunement and nervous system mirroring we’ll access stored trauma, emotion and limiting beliefs for resolution. By being seen, your brain receives feedback that it’s safe to release and repattern what’s old. Clients leave sessions feeling lighter, with clarity, and a deeper connection to their true selves.
Somatic Exercises that work
In both in-person and online sessions, you’ll learn simple effective exercises that increase vagal tone and build a flexible nervous system. You’re encouraged to practice these at home on your own to learn the language of your own body and reset your nervous system regularly.

My Approach
With over 20 years helping people heal their nervous system I draw on multiple integrative somatic therapies. Using psychoneuroenergenetics (PNE) , somatic release technique (SRT), time line therapy (TLT) and breath work, you’ll release the root cause of nervous system dysregulation and discover a truer version of yourself. Throughout our work, I’ll draw on tibetan buddhist and coaching principles that encourage self-compassion, increased awareness, and conscious movement towards that which you most want in life.
Word on Us
I’ve gone from feeling anxious to at peace, feeling fear to grounded. I’m leaning into trust in a whole new way which is helping me move through a big life transition with ease. I feel confident being seen and being heard, which says a lot for someone who’s resisted putting herself out there. I felt so loved and supported working with you and can’t thank you enough!

Word on Us
I feel free and open, like a huge weight has been taken off. I’ve spent my whole life thinking I had to justify myself and now I get to just be me.
My negative self- talk that was so dominating before working with Lauren, is gone so I’m speaking up at work and feel more comfortable being vulnerable in relationships. I have a new level of trust in myself and am finally doing the things I’ve always wanted to in my life.

Word on Us
I’ve let go of a lot of anger and fear, and stopped reacting to people and things. I communicate better, and feel fuflfilled by my relationships in a way I never have.
Instead of being caught in the vicious cycle of never being enough, basing my value on results in my business, family and relationships, I now place value in myself. I can see things in my life clearly with understanding and self-compassion and can’t wait to continue working together!
