Somatic Maternal Healing
Somatic work supports mothers and babies to process stress, overwhelm, or birth trauma by gently reconnecting with the body, regulating activation, and restoring a sense of safety and agency.
At Empowered Solutions, we offer Kelowna somatic therapy sessions rooted in the principles of Somatic Experiencing®, developed by Dr. Peter A. Levine. This approach is especially effective for people who feel stuck in patterns of:
Birth & Reproductive Trauma Symptoms:
Cognitive: Intrusive memories or flashbacks, concentration and memory difficulties, persistent negative or racing thoughts, nightmares.
Physical: Fatigue, sleep disruption, body tension or pain, heightened startle response, changes in appetite, increased heart rate or sweating.
Behavioural: Withdrawal or avoidance, irritability, self-isolating, or engaging in risky behaviours.
Emotional: Guilt, shame, hopelessness, numbness, emotional dysregulation, or dissociation.
Relational: Difficulty trusting, withdrawing from connection, challenges with boundaries, fear of abandonment, or difficulty bonding.
Day retreats for mamas in the Okanagan.
A space for mothers to be seen, held, and leave a little lighter.
A day retreat, intentionally designed for mamas who are longing not for more to do, but for an opportunity to simply be.
Gentle rhythm, rest and moments of playfulness, will allow you to rediscover who you are beneath all of the noise.
This is a space where all of motherhood is welcome; the beauty, the grief, the fatigue, the love… and even the messy, imperfect, laugh-about-it-later parts.
