Somatic Therapy

In Somatic therapy sessions clients can explore issues from their life through the body. This is a safe, non touch, body based, trauma informed modality that can help with nervous system resourcing and regulation. This is particularly suitable for people who hold a lot of emotional stress in their body.

Through this modality sensitive overthinkers can learn to:

  • Listen to their body’s wisdom and work towards a greater sense of felt safety, alignment and authenticity.
  • Learn to feel safe and empowered with their body.
  • Develop nimble nervous systems so they can move more easily from fight/ flight/ freeze back to feeling safe in their bodies.
  • Explore with gentle curiosity what the body might be holding onto from past traumas.
  • Tune into the blocks and barriers that are holding them back from their potential and purpose.
  • Develop stronger boundaries in order to live more in alignment with your authenticity.

It’s a space for you to let the body lead and tune into its innate wisdom. This is a gentle trauma informed modality where I help clients to softly nudge towards feeling safer in their body and nervous system, more embodied and more empowered.

I work with clients ideally in a block of 6 Sessions or by pay as you go.

Each session lasts 1 hour and is £90 per hour or £80 if booked in a block of 6. If you would like a free 20 minute chat with Emily to discuss how you might work together, book a session here 

Emily Hughes Offering Monday to Thursday 9.00am - 2.30pm

What the blazes! This UK summer has been hotter than most of us can remember. Some of us are loving it. Others are counting the days until it's cooler. Why are we all so different? According to Chinese Medicine, we all have our own unique balance of Yin and Yang. So while one person might thrive in a hot, energetic summer, someone else may find it completely depleting. If Yin and Yang have always sounded a bit mystical, here's a quick look. ⭕ Yin - Feminine = Still, Cooling, Nourishing, Receptive, Moistening, Interior ⭕ Yang - Masculine = Moving, Warming, Transforming, Active, Drying, Exterior   This summer has been incredibly Yang. While that can feel energising, too much Yang can make it harder to slow down, switch off and truly rest. You may have noticed more: ⭕️ Tired but wired ⭕️ Restless sleep or insomnia ⭕️ Headaches or migraines ⭕ Anxiety or feeling overwhelmed ⭕️ Irritability or a short fuse ⭕️ Neck and shoulder tension ⭕️ Hot flushes or menopausal symptoms flaring   Acupuncture helps restore balance by nourishing Yin and calming your nervous system. Better still, you get permission to lie down, close your eyes while Sophie or Sunila work with your body's underlying patterns, giving you the chance for a deep rest and reset. Our next Acupuncture Collective is on 17 August, just a few days after the spectacular solar eclipse. Whether you're into lunar cycles or not, it feels like the perfect moment to pause, reset and head into late summer feeling more balanced. We'd love to see you there.   Our next Acupuncture Collective is taking place between 2pm to 8pm on Monday 17th August.   Book via our bio
