Somatic Experiencing Touch Therapy

Discover the Power of Somatic Touch Therapy

Hello there! I'm Peter Cellarius, and I'm here to introduce you to the transformative world of Somatic Touch Therapy. It's a gentle, yet powerful approach that can help you heal from stress, trauma, and chronic pain – even when other methods haven't quite hit the mark.

What is Somatic Touch Therapy?

Imagine a therapy that speaks your body's first language – touch. That's what Somatic Touch Therapy is all about. It's a unique approach that helps your body recover from physical and emotional overwhelm, creating new pathways to reset towards safety, relaxation, and healthier functioning.

This gentle, slow-paced therapy provides critical signals to your body, decreasing stress hormones and increasing trust hormones. The result? A more regulated, resilient you – from your nervous system right down to your vital organs.

How Can Somatic Touch Therapy Help You?

If you've been struggling with:

Chronic stress or anxiety
Trauma, especially including early childhood and developmental experiences
Persistent pain or health issues including POTS, dysautonomia, RSD/CRPS
A sense that something's "off," or that you cannot settle or regulate fully

Then Somatic Touch Therapy might be a missing piece in your healing journey. It's especially helpful for those experiences that seem to elude even traditional talk therapy.

What to Expect in a Session

In our sessions, you'll remain fully clothed as we work together to listen to your body's needs. Using gentle, attuned touch, we'll help your body release tension, process difficult emotions, and reconnect with areas that might feel disconnected or numb. I use a massage table, and I use slow, gentle, sustained touch for joints, diaphrams, and sometimes organs. It is safe, respectful, graduated, and settling.

Every session is tailored to your unique needs, always moving at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. We might work with you seated, lying down, or even incorporate some gentle movements – whatever serves your healing best. SE Touch is not for everyone but if it sounds intriguing, let's talk.
