Somatic Attachment Sessions for trauma recovery, resilience building, and self-awareness
What are Somatic Attachment Sessions?
In 1:1 Somatic Attachment Sessions, we use a blend of talk and body awareness prompts to bring awareness to how the nervous system processes information and experiences. This work helps to make sense of and discharge the physiological stressors that were stored during past moments of overwhelm.
Somatic Attachment Sessions can support healing from shock trauma like accidents, frightful experiences, or medical procedures. It’s also a powerful tool for addressing emotional trauma.
While there may be some talking during a session, we work mainly with how the body processes that information. Often this leads to a physiological release of held stress responses, as well as a deeper relationship with self.
Courtney is currently offering individual sessions in person and through zoom.
How do Somatic Attachment Sessions Work?
Your first session is an hour and a half so we have time and space to talk through your story, answer questions, and establish a relationship before we explore more deeply.
Occasionally, a session may be a standalone experience to process something that is presenting in the moment. But more often, the benefit of this work is cumulative. While some sessions may provide great insights and relief, others will be more subtle as we work together to build safety and trust to learn how your system processes information.

My son had a traumatic experience of almost being hit by a car. We scheduled a session with Courtney to work through it. She immediately put my son at ease. She connected with him in a way that was genuine, warm, and playful. She sensed his openness and went at the speed he was comfortable. Courtney used movement, storytelling, play and visualization to help him move through the experience. She debriefed with me, and cued me into his behaviors helping me to understand more about his brain and body. Prior to the session, my son had been obsessively talking about the car experience with fear. In the days and weeks following the session, he hardly mentioned it and when he did there was a lightness to how he talked about it. Courtney is a guide, educator, and wise woman. She will hold your family and child with the utmost care back into a state of greater security and love.
