Somatic Practice: embodied care rooted in the nervous system
This work is educational and body-based, not psychotherapy or clinical treatment. Jem’s approach is shaped by Somatic Experiencing®, trauma-informed yoga and somatic practice, land-based approaches to regulation, and ongoing advanced study in nervous system repair and trauma dynamics.
Each session begins with a gentle check-in to understand what’s present in your body and your life. We follow your pace — working slowly, orienting to safety, and tracking sensations, emotions, and shifts in the nervous system.
We might explore grounding, breath, imagery, movement, or simple observations that support connection with your body and its natural rhythms. Everything unfolds collaboratively, with plenty of space to pause, settle, or adjust as needed.
FEES: 60 min · Full $100 · Concession $75
LOCATION: In person or online; indoors or outdoors.

What we might explore…
Clients come to Jem seeking support for many different reasons — here are a few common threads they might explore, always shaped by your unique needs and rhythms:
-
Stress shows up in the body in subtle and patterned ways — tightness, fatigue, looping thoughts, a sense of always being “on.” In our work together, we’ll notice how stress lives in you and explore somatic practices, nervous system education, and micro-shifts to support regulation, rest, and reconnection.
-
Drawing on Somatic Experiencing® principles, we explore how the nervous system holds the imprint of overwhelm. At your pace, we build safety, restore trust in the body, and expand your capacity for presence and connection. This process doesn’t involve re-telling trauma stories, but learning how your system can settle and orient toward support.
-
These sessions blend somatic mindfulness, breath, movement, and deep rest. There is no fixed sequence — only space to experiment, notice, and return to your body with curiosity. All practices are offered through a trauma-aware lens where choice, pacing, and agency come first.
-
For those drawn outdoors, sessions can take place in quiet natural settings where your system can co-regulate with the living world. We invite slowness, reverence, and the possibility of restoration through relationship with land, weather, and place — using the same somatic awareness we cultivate indoors.
