With Alyssa Hill | For those who have tried everything to heal and are ready for support that actually makes sense to your nervous system, integrates (rather than pathologizes) all parts of you, and organically supports your body in finding its way out of survival mode.
Chances are you feel like you've tried everything to heal your nervous system... but the feeling of being stuck in survival mode stays no matter what you do.
If that's where you are right now, please know you haven't "failed at healing." What's actually happening is that your nervous system learned, long ago, that the safest way to protect you was through enduring. By pushing through, keeping it together, staying quiet, putting your needs aside. Whatever it took to stay safe...
Your nervous system has been doing that job faithfully ever since, and doesn't yet have enough proof that it's safe to function any other way. And that proof doesn't come through understanding alone or thinking your way to a new outcome.
Your nervous system rewires through new experiences. And for a nervous system that learned to endure, it needs two things: to be met and understood for how hard it's been working, and to be shown, slowly and through the body, that it doesn't need to work so hard anymore...
That it's safe to take up space and be loved. That it's safe to have needs and belong. That it's safe to feel your emotions, use your voice, and have boundaries. That it's safe to slow down without feeling guilty. That connection doesn't have to come at a cost.
Staying busy, achieving, always doing, because that's how you received praise and recognition.
Bottling up your emotions and parts of yourself because growing up, there was no safe place for them to land.
Putting others' needs and feelings first because that's how love worked growing up. You stayed connected by being easy, agreeable, and available.
Making yourself smaller, quieter, easier to digest because your bigness, your fire, your gifts weren't met with safety.
And maybe somewhere along the way you developed the belief that this is just the way it is. And that makes sense, because when enduring is all you've known, it feels like truth.
But 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 anymore, even if your system doesn't have enough proof yet...
Another way to approach healing that doesn't focus on fixing parts of yourself.
Another way to make progress in your healing that doesn't mean pushing harder or doing more.
Another way to be with yourself & in your body that doesn't feel like a battle.
Another way to tend to your nervous system that actually moves the needle.
Not by constantly trying to calm your nervous system, but by building the capacity to ride life's waves. To feel what's hard knowing there's something steady to come back to, and to feel what's good without always bracing for the next shoe to drop.
Healing is about building capacity for stress AND ease. The hard AND the beautiful. Taking action AND slowing down. The full, messy, human experience of being alive.
Trauma is less about what happened and more about how unsupported we felt when it did. Attunement is the process of meeting all parts of ourselves with the care they needed but didn't receive, which helps soften the weight of carrying it alone for so long.
When moments of overwhelm go unprocessed, the body remains stuck in patterns of protection. Somatic work helps complete what was interrupted and supports the nervous system in discovering new possibilities of safety, connection, and ease.
Nervous system regulation isn't a state. It's a rhythm. We restore that rhythm by slowly building the capacity to feel what we had to shut down to survive, to move in and out of survival states with more ease/attunement, and to renegotiate safety with our emotions.
As your nervous system begins to spend less energy on protection and builds capacity… joy, desire, creativity, confidence, power, presence… naturally start to surface. This is your vitality. And it’s always been within you. Somatic work helps you reclaim and harness that energy, rather than fear it.
I spent so much of my life enduring, suppressing, and running from myself. On the outside I looked like I had it all together, but on the inside my nervous system was in chaos. Chronic pain flare ups, constant anxiety, panic attacks. I didn't know how to rest or slow down or feel without immediately trying to escape what came up.
Then I found Somatic Experiencing®, and it felt completely different from anything I had tried before. It met me exactly where I was. Instead of trying to make the stress, pain, etc. go away, it helped me learn how to stay with what was present and build a relationship with my body.
Over time, this shifted something deep within me. I stopped seeing my symptoms as evidence that I was broken and started seeing them for what they really were, parts of me that had been asking to be noticed and tended to for a very long time.
And now, as a trauma-trained somatic practitioner trained in Somatic Experiencing, Somatic Stress Release, Somatic Parts Work, Attachment and Polyvagal Theory, and Trauma-Informed Breathwork, I help my clients do the same! My approach is compassionate and grounded in one core belief: your body already knows how to heal when given the right support, attunement, and environment.

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 — where trauma and stress actually live. 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.
