Not every breakthrough happens on a couch.

For some, healing begins with movement - a walk in the fresh air, a deep breath, or the simple act of noticing how the body feels.

Somatic and Walk & Talk Therapy help you reconnect with your body’s natural wisdom and find steadiness through awareness, not pressure.

Who Is Somatic and Walk & Talk Therapy For?

This space is for anyone who’s tired of living from the neck up - always thinking, overanalyzing, or trying to “logic” their way out of feeling. You might:

  • Feel disconnected from your body or emotions

  • Hold tension, pain, or restlessness you can’t quite explain

  • Find it easier to talk while moving than sitting still

  • Want a more embodied way to process stress, anxiety, or trauma

  • Be looking for a different kind of therapy experience - one that feels more natural, grounded, and human

These are some common symptoms you may be experiencing:

  • You spend a lot of time “in your head” but struggle to feel calm or clear

  • Your body often feels tight, heavy, or on edge

  • You notice physical reactions (like tension or racing heart) that seem unrelated to the moment

  • You’ve tried talk therapy before and want a more body-based approach

  • You crave more space, fresh air, and movement as part of your healing

Benefits of Somatic and Walk & Talk Therapy

  • Feel calmer, centered, and more embodied

  • Gain awareness of how your emotions show up in your body

  • Build self-trust and resilience through mindfulness and movement

  • Reduce anxiety and overwhelm

  • Experience a refreshing, natural approach to therapy - one that moves at your pace, literally

Areas of Focus

  • Gentle walking or somatic awareness helps your body settle, and your mind slow down. Learn how movement and breath can calm your nervous system and bring you back to the present - one step at a time.

  • If you’ve been living “in your head,” somatic therapy helps you notice and trust your body’s cues. We use breath, mindfulness, and gentle movement to restore connection and balance.

  • When the mind races, the body can bring you back. Walk & Talk Therapy and somatic tools help release tension, reduce anxious energy, and quiet the overthinking spiral.

  • When sitting still feels impossible, movement-based therapy can help. Walk & Talk sessions provide space to decompress, regulate your system, and process what you carry - without judgment.

  • Tuning into your body helps you understand what emotions are asking for. Somatic therapy teaches you to move through stress and self-regulate with compassion and control.

  • Therapy outdoors blends conversation with fresh air and grounding movement. Nature supports a nervous system, calm and reminds us that healing doesn’t have to happen inside four walls.

What To Expect

Whether we’re walking outdoors or exploring sensations in session, the focus is on connecting with your body in ways that feel safe and supportive.

1. Notice - We start by slowing down and tuning in: breath, posture, sensations, emotions. You’ll learn to recognize how your body holds stress and what helps it release.

2. Move - In Walk & Talk Therapy, we take our sessions outside - blending mindfulness, gentle conversation, and movement to help process what feels stuck.

3. Integrate - Together, we’ll build practical tools for grounding and awareness, so you can carry that calm back into daily life.
