Holistic, Somatic Therapy & Nervous System Healing in Connecticut
Holistic, somatic psychotherapy for chronically stressed and spiritually curious adults who are seeking nervous system regulation, emotional steadiness, and inner safety.
A Space to Slow Down and Feel Held
You move through the world with depth. You feel everything — the tension in your body, the emotions under the surface, the pressure to hold it all together.
You’ve tried talk therapy, mindset work, or spiritual practices. They helped… but not enough. You still find yourself:
Overthinking or shutting down under stress
Carrying old survival patterns that won’t loosen
Slipping into people-pleasing or self-abandonment
Feeling overwhelmed by your feelings and emotions
Longing for a healing process that reaches beyond the mind and into your body, soul, and relationships
You’re seeking somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, and holistic healing because only talking about the problem isn’t shifting the patterns.

MEET HEATHER
I’m a licensed therapist and somatic practitioner who works slowly, relationally, and with deep respect for the wisdom of the body and soul.
I work with people who are thoughtful, emotionally sensitive, and introspective—often those who have spent years holding themselves and others together, and are now feeling the cost of that effort in their bodies and nervous systems.
My work honors the whole person: body, psyche, soul, and relational world. I help clients feel safer in their bodies, stay connected to themselves during emotional challenges, and gently unwind patterns of chronic stress, bracing, and over-responsibility.
One of my greatest strengths is creating a steady, emotionally attuned therapeutic space. I help clients learn how to feel and process emotions without becoming overwhelmed—and how to soften the armor of hyper-independence so support can be received.
My presence in the therapy room is warm, grounded, and attentive. Clients often describe feeling calmer, clearer, more self-trusting, and more at home in themselves.
How I Can Help
My work blends somatic therapy, nervous system healing, spiritually grounded guidance, and family systems theory to help you create lasting change from the inside out. Together, we work with both the body and the mind to release deeply ingrained patterns and build the inner safety your system has been longing for.
I can help you:
Regulate your nervous system and reduce chronic stress or overwhelm
Break free from survival patterns like people-pleasing, perfectionism, or hyper-independence
Heal emotional wounds stored in the body
Soften self-protection patterns and reconnect with your intuition
Process emotions without shutting down or spiraling
Build healthier boundaries and more authentic relationships
Feel more grounded, expressed, and fully yourself
My approach is:
Trauma-informed
Somatically rooted
Spiritually attuned
Depth-oriented
Evidence-informed
Honoring of your true nature
This is deep work — the kind that changes how you feel, how you show up, and how you live.

Somatic Exercises Coaching (Worldwide)
Coaching is specifically focused on supporting you to release chronic stress from your nervous system through somatic exercises. Coaching focuses only on somatic exercises and is focused on relief from chronic pain, chronic fatigue, insomnia, indigestion, and other symptoms related to chronic stress and unresolved trauma in the nervous system. Coaching does not treat mental health conditions and focuses solely on symptom relief.

CLIENT testimonial
“Heather is truly an angel in the guise of a life coach. The past few months have been among the hardest of my life, filled with personal challenges and deep-rooted patterns that were overwhelming.

Her ability to illuminate the deeper paths within me has been transformative.

CLIENT testimonial
“Throughout my life I’ve worked with healers, therapists, and coaches but I’ve always found the work a bit disjointed. Every person brought tremendous value to my overall healing but I was doing too much, getting tired and it was getting expensive.
I was craving a new system, a new matrix—one that combined healer/therapist/coach, one that had just enough structure yet kept space for magic, serendipity and Spirit’s plan. All of this, I found in Heather and her work!
So far, I’ve been fortunate to have experienced 12 sessions and she’s become such an invaluable and special person in my life. Heather truly facilitates a Sacred Partnership - between you, herself and Spirit. And what I also loved is that we did a lot of deep work….while laughing, swearing, and reveling in joy! Healing can come through Lightness. It doesn’t always have to be hard, aching and wrenching, although it sometimes is. Heather is an old, wise Soul. If you feel called to work with her, listen to that calling and Heather will guide you to your next Beautiful Becoming!”
