A Journey from Loss to Healing Through Somatic Therapy
Like so many people who undergo profound personal change, Lauren’s path was sparked by a series of life-altering events. She faced a turbulent year marked by heartbreaking losses—the death of a close friend, the painful end of a long-term relationship, and, perhaps most challenging of all, supporting her mother through a battle with cancer.

These experiences left Lauren questioning everything she knew about herself, pushing her to a crossroads. It was during her mother’s final moments that Lauren had a transformative realisation, a moment of clarity that shifted her perspective entirely. She saw how deeply her own journey mirrored the experiences of countless others and felt a calling to support people navigating their own trauma and emotional pain.
This powerful insight led her to somatic therapy, a holistic approach that focuses on the profound connection between mind and body.
Embracing the Body-Mind Connection
For many of us, trauma and overwhelming emotions are things we try to process mentally, sometimes feeling "stuck" despite our best efforts. Somatic therapy provides a different approach by tapping into the body's natural capacity to heal. The foundation of somatic healing lies in the idea that emotional and traumatic experiences can be stored in the body as physical tension, discomfort, or even pain.
Somatic therapy teaches people to become aware of these bodily sensations and to release stored stress through gentle techniques like breathwork, movement, and mindful awareness.
Lauren explains that somatic therapy helped her understand her own grief and pain on a much deeper level. By learning to listen to her body, she could access emotions and memories she hadn’t fully processed. This approach allowed her to release pent-up tension and find greater peace with her experiences. Now, as a somatic therapist, she guides others on this journey, helping clients recognize the signs their bodies give them and process emotions in a safe and compassionate way.
A Message of Hope and Healing
In her work, Lauren emphasizes that somatic therapy isn’t just about addressing specific traumas; it’s also about learning to tune into the body’s wisdom for everyday well-being. Whether facing stress, anxiety, or past trauma, somatic therapy provides practical tools to reconnect with the body, foster inner balance, and ultimately achieve a greater sense of wholeness.
Lauren’s message to listeners is that our bodies are our allies in healing. By honoring the mind-body connection, we can better understand ourselves, let go of what no longer serves us, and find the inner peace we deserve. Her story and her work in somatic therapy are powerful reminders that true healing requires a holistic approach—one that values both the mind and the body as essential parts of our well-being.
