About Somatic Experiencing Therapy in Edmonton .
At Sana Soma, our individual counselling services focus on nervous system support through body-based therapy rather than insight alone. Sessions integrate awareness, sensation, breath, and movement to help regulate stress, anxiety, trauma responses, and overwhelm. This somatic approach works with the body’s natural capacity to release and restore when safety and connection are present. Whether you’re navigating ongoing stress or patterns that feel stuck, counselling is paced, trauma-informed, and guided by your nervous system’s readiness for healing and growth. .
The Benefits They Have Gained From Using It
Clients who engage in somatic counselling often feel more settled, regulated, and present in daily life. They develop awareness of stress responses, expand emotional capacity safely, release stored tension, and build healthier boundaries, relationships, and self-trust. Working directly with the nervous system, they gain resilience. .
