Reconnect with Your Body. Reclaim Your Life.
With Alyssa Hill | Somatic Experiencing, Nervous System Attunement and Support, Body-Based Trauma Resolution
A trauma-informed and trauma-trained somatic practitioner. I combine evidence-based modalities with nervous system attunement to support my clients in regulating their nervous systems, building stress resilience, and resolving trauma imprints in the body.
My approach is grounded in compassion, safety, and an understanding of the body’s innate ability to heal with the right tools, attunement & environment.
I’m trained in and/or currently training in Somatic Experiencing®, the gold standard for body-based trauma resolution, Somatic Stress Release™, Somatic Parts Work (somatic IFS), Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory, and Trauma-Informed Breathwork.
Hi, I’m Alyssa!

-
Somatic Experiencing is a gentle, body-based approach to healing trauma that focuses on the wisdom your body holds. When trauma occurs, the body can become “stuck” in cycles of stress or tension, unable to fully process through it and return to baseline. SE helps us tune into the physical sensations in our bodies, which allows us to gradually complete these cycles, restoring flexibility to the nervous system.
-
Polyvagal Theory is a framework for understanding how our nervous system responds to danger and safety. It explains how our body shifts between states of safety, fight/flight, freeze, and shutdown, based on cues we receive from our environment, in our bodies, and between other people. By understanding these shifts, we can learn to regulate our nervous system, honor our survival responses, and gradually shift toward more safety and connection.
-
Somatic Stress Release is a gentle, yet powerful technique that focuses on supporting the nervous system in completing unfinished stress responses, allowing us to restore balance and build capacity to navigate life’s challenges with more ease. We focus on small, intentional movements to prevent overwhelm.
-
Somatic Parts Work is a compassionate, body-focused approach that helps us connect with the various parts of ourselves that hold trauma, fear, or unresolved emotions, as well as our joys and childlike energy. By tuning into these parts, we can begin to understand and integrate them with care, reparent them, access more play, and reclaim lost aspects of ourselves and build a stronger sense of wholeness.
-
Trauma-Informed Breathwork is a gentle and empowering approach that uses the breath as a tool for healing and nervous system regulation. This practice is designed to honor where you are in your healing journey, providing a safe and supportive space for you to reconnect with your body’s natural rhythms. By cultivating awareness of the breath, we can shift stuck energy and gently guide the nervous system into a state of balance. Trauma-informed breathwork respects the body’s pace and ensures we move at a pace that feels safe, supportive, and sustainable, helping to build resilience and capacity for future challenges.
-
Mind-Body Healing is an integrative approach that acknowledges the deep connection between our mind, body, and emotions. It recognizes that our body holds wisdom about our experiences, and that healing happens when we tune into the messages our body is sending. I often combine somatic techniques, mindfulness, cognitive processing, visualizations, and body awareness in sessions for a holistic experience.
Our nervous system holds the story of our past… the moments that shaped us, the survival patterns we’ve carried, and the ways we’ve learned to navigate a world that didn’t always feel safe. At the same time, it’s a gateway to what’s possible: discovering the body’s natural capacity to process, integrate & heal.
Through gentle somatic modalities like Somatic Experiencing and Somatic Parts Work, we can begin to listen to the parts of ourselves that still carry old wounding. Instead of pushing them away, we learn to meet them with curiosity, care, attunement, and compassion—offering the understanding and safety that was missing before, and guiding them toward new possibilities in the now.
As we nurture this relationship with our nervous system and our inner parts, we create space for new pathways of connection, trust, and healing. This is the core of my work with clients. Ready to begin your journey? Let’s connect!
