With Alyssa Hill | Body-oriented healing that organically supports your nervous system in finding its way out of survival mode, and supports you in learning to trust your body's wisdom and flow with your cyclical nature.
It feels like you're moving through life instead of living it. You wake up on edge before opening your eyes. You feel tired after a full night's sleep. And slowing down sounds wonderful, until you actually try to. If this resonates, please know there is nothing wrong with you. As women, many of us have been conditioned to override our bodies since we were little girls.
No one taught us that our bodies are designed to expand and to contract, to create and to restore, and that this rhythm is wisdom, not weakness. We were taught to be consistent instead, to show up the same every day, to put our needs aside, to push through the weeks our body asks for less. And over time, our body's voice naturally became quieter and quieter.
The disconnection you feel was learned. And, what was learned can be unlearned. Your body never stopped speaking, never stopped being yours. Learning to listen to its wisdom again is how you move from surviving your life to living it. That's what somatic work teaches you.
Staying busy, achieving, always doing, because that's what earned you praise, and eventually, it became the only way you knew how to feel okay.
Pushing through the tired, the tension, the signals asking you to pause, because rest never felt like an option.
Putting everyone else's needs before your own, because that's how you learned to stay connected and loved.
Quieting your emotions and your intuition, because you learned early on they weren't welcome.
Your nervous system has been protecting you from a past it doesn't know is over. These strategies made sense once, and they worked. But what kept you safe then is what's keeping you exhausted now, disconnected from your body, your creativity, and the fullness of your life.
And the fact that you're here tells me something in you is ready for a different experience. That continuing this way doesn't feel like the only option, even if you don't have enough proof yet...
A life where you're no longer running on empty all the time, because you've learned to feel and honor your body's limits before burnout takes over.
Where rest is something your body can receive, rather than resist or brace against.
Where decisions come from your inner knowing, because you've learned how to trust its wisdom as truth.
Where your emotions aren't something to manage or avoid, but a language you understand, and the place your aliveness flows from.
Where your monthly cycle isn't an inconvenience to push through, but a rhythm that carries you.
Your body already holds the capacity for all of it. My work is about helping you access it. Here's what that looks like.
Your body speaks through sensation, but somewhere along the way, you learned those signals weren't to be trusted. This is where you rebuild that relationship slowly, so what your body communicates becomes information you can trust and rely on rather than something to brace against or avoid.
Burnout happens when your nervous system doesn't feel safe to slow down, so it overrides the signals asking you to pause. This is where you build the capacity to feel your limits and honor them, and where you intentionally weave play and aliveness back in, because that's a big part of healing from high-functioning burnout.
The emotions you learned to push down don't disappear; they stay held in the body. This is where you build the capacity to feel them safely — and as your body begins to spend less energy containing your emotions, energy frees up, and there's more available for living, thriving, and creating.
Your hormones and your nervous system are deeply connected, and your body moves in seasons of expansion and contraction. This is where you restore your relationship with that rhythm, so you can flow with your body instead of overriding it.
I know this disconnection intimately, because it's my story too. For years, I lived in chronic survival mode: pushing through, overriding my body's signals, holding everything together while running on empty.
No amount of understanding my patterns created change, because they were never just thoughts. They were automatic responses my nervous system learned, and it needed new experiences, not more insight, to begin learning something different. Cue somatic work.
Through this work, I slowly found my way back to my body and back to living instead of just getting through. My body was never the problem. Learning to listen again is what changed everything. And guiding other women back to that same connection is now my life's work.
I'm a somatic practitioner trained in and informed by modalities like Somatic Stress Release, Somatic Parts Work, Attachment and Polyvagal Theory, and Trauma-Informed Breathwork! I'm currently in the advanced stage of becoming a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, an intensive, three-year somatic practitioner training developed by Dr. Peter Levine.

What Clients Are Saying
Somatic work is a body-oriented approach to healing that works with your nervous system, sensations, and emotions rather than relying on talk alone. It helps your body process what it's been holding so you can move out of chronic patterns of protection and back into flow.
Traditional therapy often focuses on understanding your story through conversation. This work goes deeper by engaging your body directly. It's not about replacing therapy, but about accessing what talk alone can't always reach.
Anyone who is longing to come home to their body and build a relationship with it that isn't based on fixing. Whether you're navigating chronic symptoms, stress, or a sense of disconnection, this work meets you where you are.
No two sessions are the same. Rather than talking through your story, we work with what's showing up in your nervous system in real time — sensations, activation, patterns of protection. We move gradually, at a pace your body can tolerate, helping it complete the protective responses that got stuck and build new experiences of safety.
My work is rooted in Somatic Experiencing, a gentle, body-first approach to healing that works directly with your nervous system to build stress resilience. I also integrate somatic parts work, which helps us get to know the parts of you that have taken on protective roles — the ones that brace, shut down, people-please, or push through. When we meet these parts through the body with curiosity and compassion, they don't have to work so hard anymore.
Sessions are 60 minutes.
Sessions are held virtually, which means you can work with me from wherever you are. All you need is a quiet space where you feel comfortable.
I recommend starting with biweekly sessions for at least 4-6 months. This gives your nervous system the consistency it needs to settle into the work. From there, many of my clients stay with the biweekly rhythm or move to monthly sessions for continued support, and some continue that way for years. This work meets you where you are for as long as it serves you.
You're not alone in that. Many of my clients come to this work after years of trying other approaches. The difference here is that we work with your body and nervous system directly, not just your mind. For many people, that's the piece that's been missing.
Absolutely. Many of my clients are professionals who hold space for others and need a space where someone holds it for them. This work supports you in reconnecting with your own body so you can show up more fully in your life and your work.
