Somatic touch is a therapeutic intervention that uses physical touch to support the body's natural ability to regulate activation. Our bodies are composed of multiple systems which are in constant communication. Our nervous, digestive, cardiovascular, lymphatic, and endocrine systems are meant to be in delicate balance, providing helpful information to support our health and wellbeing. When one system is out of balance it affects all the others. Touch work provides support and in turn can encourage regulation in our bodies.

Touch work can help our bodies move through fight-flight-freeze, encourage healing after surgical procedures, support healthy scar tissue, and assist with digestive balance.
