Start Reconnecting Your Mind and Body with Our Specialized Somatic Therapy
Helping You Release Stored Tension to Restore Your Mind-Body Connection
Specialized and Body-Centered Somatic Therapy for Integrated Healing in Mississauga & online Across Ontario
We often try to think our way out of stress, but our bodies hold onto experiences that our minds struggle to release. If you feel a persistent tightness in your chest, chronic tension, or a sense of being "disconnected" from your physical self, you may be experiencing the bodily manifestation of stored trauma or stress. Somatic Therapy goes beyond traditional talk therapy by focusing on the physical sensations and "felt sense" within the body. At Inner Wellness Psychotherapy, we provide a safe, accessible, and welcoming space to help you listen to your body’s wisdom and release the physical patterns that keep you stuck in the past.

Understanding Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy is a holistic therapeutic approach that incorporates a person’s physical body into the healing process. It is based on the premise that the mind, body, and spirit are deeply interconnected, and that psychological trauma often leaves a “footprint” in the nervous system and muscular tissue. By focusing on somatic (body) awareness and gentle movement or breathwork, we help you process emotional pain where it lives: in your physical being.
Common Challenges Addressed with Somatic Therapy
- Chronic Pain and Tension: Releasing physical discomfort linked to emotional stress.
- Trauma and PTSD: Processing “body memories” that talk therapy alone may not reach.
- Anxiety and Restlessness: Calming the physical symptoms of a racing mind.
- Dissociation: Helping you feel “grounded” and present in your physical skin.
- Fatigue and Burnout: Restoring the body’s natural energy and vitality.
- Emotional Blockages: Using the body to access and release “stuck” emotions.
How we Operate
Our approach is collaborative and body-positive. We guide you through “Somatic Tracking”—the practice of noticing physical sensations without judgment. By combining traditional therapeutic dialogue with mindfulness, breathwork, and grounding techniques, we help you bridge the gap between your thoughts and your physical experience. This integrated approach ensures that healing happens not just in the mind, but throughout your entire nervous system.
The Benefits of Somatic Therapy
- Emotional Release: Deep relief from long-held stress and “stuck” emotions.
- Greater Body Awareness: Learning to interpret your body’s signals before they become overwhelming.
- Stress Reduction: Lowering cortisol levels and relaxing the nervous system.
- Enhanced Presence: Feeling more connected to yourself and the world around you.
