Somatic Experiencing®

Somatic Experiencing® with Nadia Miller

​Somatic trauma therapy has been informed by the work of esteemed psychologist and neuroscientist Stephen Porges, whose Polyvagal Theory suggests a fundamental connection between our emotional experiences and their far-reaching impacts on the body.

My own practice has been inspired by Peter Levine, who pioneered Somatic Experiencing® as a body-based approach to healing trauma. The idea is that, by helping people resolve the incomplete fight, flight and freeze responses caused by trauma, we can help them reconnect with their bodies and learn to better regulate their nervous systems.

In terms of mindfulness, my approach is trauma-sensitive and compassion based. My mindfulness teaching has been inspired and informed by Vidyamala Burch OBE, who co-founded renowned provider Breathworks after learning to alleviate her own suffering through mindful practice. Breathworks is now flourishing, with a reach of more than 100,000 people around the world. I am so happy to say I am one of its 600 teachers working in 35 countries.

I offer a nurturing, compassionate and non-judgemental space where others can address their past traumas and begin their healing journeys. I help you reconnect with your body, explore your present experiences, unravel the mysteries of the nervous system, and mindfully create a space for the profound wisdom within you to unfold.

I apply Somatic Experiencing® to help alleviate and heal the symptoms of PTSD, shock trauma, depression, anxiety and stress.

By reconnecting body, mind and spirit, we can meaningfully reintegrate the life force energy that may have been lost during times of trauma, helping you to better regulate the nervous system. When you feel supported and resourced to explore entrenched trauma responses in a non-overwhelming way, you can move forward with new energy, alignment and authenticity.

Unfortunately, we cannot talk our way out of trauma, the body has the answers.
