Do you feel weighed down by emotions that don’t seem to release? Is the stress of past experiences, especially narcissistic abuse, taking a toll on your body and mind? It’s time to take back control and rediscover your sense of peace, power, and purpose.

As a certified life and trauma coach with specialized experience in narcissistic abuse recovery, I understand how deeply emotional pain can manifest physically. Abuse, especially from narcissistic relationships, can leave not just emotional scars but physical tension, anxiety, and a sense of disconnection from your own body. This can affect everything from your posture to your energy levels.

1.What is Somatic Pilates, and how is it different from regular Pilates?

Somatic Pilates focuses on the mind-body connection, specifically targeting how emotions, stress, and trauma are stored in the body. While traditional Pilates focuses on strengthening and lengthening muscles, Somatic Pilates integrates mindful movement, breathwork, and body awareness to release emotional tension, improve nervous system regulation, and promote overall healing.

2.How can Somatic Pilates help with recovery from narcissistic abuse?

Narcissistic abuse can leave deep emotional and physical scars. Somatic Pilates helps release trapped emotions that manifest as physical tension, anxiety, or stress. It restores balance in the body and nervous system, helping you heal emotionally and physically. Through focused, gentle movement, you'll begin to feel more grounded, in control, and empowered.

3.What can I expect during an online session?

In an online session, you’ll be guided through a series of mindful movements and breathing exercises designed to release tension and emotional blockages. You’ll be encouraged to listen to your body’s cues and move at your own pace. Each session will be personalized to suit your needs, whether you’re dealing with trauma, stress, or simply wanting to improve body awareness.

4. Do I need any special equipment for the online sessions?

You don’t need any fancy equipment! A yoga mat or soft surface will work fine, along with comfortable clothing. A quiet space where you can move freely is recommended. Some props like a small pillow or resistance bands might be used, but they are optional.

5. I’ve never done Pilates before. Is it suitable for beginners?

Absolutely! Somatic Pilates is accessible to all levels, including beginners. The focus is not on how many reps you can do but on how you can connect with your body. Each movement is gentle and designed to meet you where you are in your healing journey.

6. How many sessions do I need to see results?

Every person’s healing journey is unique. Some people may feel relief after just one session, while others may need a series of sessions to experience the full benefits. We recommend scheduling a few sessions to build a solid foundation, but it’s always about what feels right for you and your body.

7. Can I do Somatic Pilates if I’m dealing with physical injuries or chronic pain?

Yes! Somatic Pilates is adaptable to different physical conditions. The movements can be modified to accommodate injuries or chronic pain, and I’ll work with you to ensure that you are moving safely while still experiencing the benefits of the practice.

8. What should I wear for the session?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows for free movement—something you’d wear to yoga or stretching. Avoid restrictive clothing that might limit your ability to move or breathe deeply.

9. Will I need a camera on for the session?

Yes, it’s helpful for me to see you during the session so I can offer guidance and adjustments if needed. However, if you’re feeling self-conscious, feel free to have the camera on only for certain parts of the session.

10. How do I book a session?

Booking is simple! You can easily book your Somatic Pilates session through the scheduling link provided on this page. If you have any questions before booking or want to discuss specific needs, feel free to reach out for a free consultation.

11. What if I need to cancel or reschedule my session?

Life happens, and I understand that sometimes things change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know at least 24 hours in advance so we can find a new time that works for you. Cancellations made within 24 hours may be subject to a fee.
