If you’ve been searching for healing that goes deeper than talk therapy—something that helps you actually feel different in your body—you’re not alone.
So many of my clients in Portland come to me feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or disconnected. They’ve tried traditional therapy, but they know there’s more to access—through the body.
That’s where somatic healing comes in.
At Root & Rise, I offer nervous system-based, trauma-informed bodywork that helps you shift out of survival and into a grounded, embodied state of being. These sessions don’t just relieve tension—they support your body in rewiring its patterns of protection.
What Are Somatic Healing Practices?
Somatic healing uses the body—through sensation, movement, breath, and stillness—to process stored tension, release trauma, and build resilience. Instead of analyzing your experiences, we help your nervous system re-pattern them.
The right touch, rhythm, and presence can change everything.

- 🌿 Trauma-Informed Bodywork Thai fascia release, joint mobilization, and floor-based support to help your body soften—without force.
- 🌬️ Vagus Nerve + Nervous System Regulation Gentle techniques to shift you out of fight/flight/freeze and into rest-and-digest calm.
