WOMEN'S RETREATS | AERIAL HAMMOCK | PRIVATE CLASSES | SOMATIC | HEALING
SOMATIC THERAPY
Somatic means ‘of relating to the body’ and somatic therapy, (sometimes known as body psychotherapy) is a therapeutic approach that places importance on what we experience in the mind and the body as well as the connection between the two, helping to restore the body back to a state or balance, equilibrium or homeostasis.
We will work together in a private 1-1 setting with a focus on the mind-body connection supporting growth, healing trauma, and finding ease in the body, mind, and the nervous system, where each session will be informed by you and your intentions, meeting you where you are on your healing journey.
Using a range of somatic healing modalities we will move through your body, mind and feelings allowing you to safely return home to yourself....
ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Jessica Ashby and I'm a qualified teacher with over 12 years of practice and a dedicated lifelong learner for as long as I can remember.
My passion is people and how we heal through connection to ourselves and others. As someone who spent their childhood and teenage years hiding my feelings and living with often crippling anxiety, I feel happy and contented to share, that over time and through a lifetime of personal experience I have unlocked the tools to reverse these overwhelming feelings through somatic experiencing, and I now live life with more confidence, connection, calmness and compassion towards myself and to others.
I make it my life's mission to work with people like you, and meet you where you are to support you with your own healing whatever that may look and feel like to you.
My extensive holistic educational background, life experience and guided intuition will give you confidence to work with me in this way and I will be honoured to support you with your goals - but you will do the work.
