What this work supports

Emotional trauma is not only a story in the mind. It also lives in breath patterns, muscle tone, protective reflexes, and the nervous system's expectation of danger.

This is especially useful when you understand why you struggle, but your body still reacts as if danger is present.

Trauma release helps your nervous system complete and integrate unresolved stress responses - fight, flight, freeze, and fawn - so you can move from survival mode into felt safety, connection, and emotional freedom.

We focus on emotional and psychological trauma, including childhood wounds, relationship pain, grief, chronic stress, panic experiences, shame, betrayal, emotional neglect, and overwhelming life events.

Sessions are led by a holistic practitioner with a degree in psychology and are paced for safety and depth. There is no forcing, no performance, and no pressure to share more than feels right.

What you may notice

A nervous system that remains on guard.

Trauma rarely arrives with a label. It often shows up in the small, persistent ways the body tries to keep you safe long after the threat is gone.

i.Persistent anxiety or hypervigilance
ii.Emotional numbness
iii.Disconnection from the body
iv.Difficulty resting or sleeping
v.Stored tension or "body armor"
vi.Reactivity and overwhelm
vii.Repeating relationship patterns
viii.A sense of being stuck
Our approach

Three pathways into the body.

We integrate three complementary, body-centered modalities. Sessions are private, paced for your safety, and tailored to where you are - never pushed past what your nervous system can hold.

i. Holistic somatic psychotherapy — growth, integration, and inner healing

Holistic Somatic Psychotherapy

A gentle, body-aware form of therapy that tracks sensation, breath, posture, emotions, and language - helping the nervous system process what the mind cannot always put into words.

ii. Warm-water Watsu and aquatic healingwork

Watsu & Aquatic Healingwork

Warm-water bodywork supports profound relaxation, emotional decompression, and release of deeply held tension. Many clients experience safety and surrender in water that helps healing unfold gently.

iii. Conscious breathwork for emotional integration

I came to experience Watsu and work through my fear of being underwater. Alejandro guided me through building trust in my body and learning to feel safe in the water — rare skill, and the quiet space helped my nervous system finally rest.

Before you begin.

Still have a question? Contact us and we will help you choose the best starting point.

How do I know if I have trauma?

Many clients arrive with symptoms - anxiety, numbness, exhaustion, or a feeling of being stuck. The body can be a starting point even when memory or language is unclear.

Is this for emotional trauma or physical trauma?

This page and these services focus on emotional and psychological trauma resolution, stress regulation, and nervous system healing. We do not provide emergency or acute medical care for physical injuries.

Can I combine this with my current therapist?

Yes. Many people use somatic, aquatic, or breathwork sessions as a complementary layer to ongoing therapy. We are happy to coordinate care when appropriate.

Do you take health insurance?

We are private-pay and do not bill insurance directly. We provide a receipt you can submit to your provider for possible reimbursement. See sessions & pricing for current rates.

Is this a substitute for emergency or psychiatric care?

No. If you are in crisis, please contact local emergency services immediately, or call or text 988 (the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline). Our sessions are supportive wellness services and are not emergency treatment.
