Gentle reflections on somatic inner child healing
There is a certain kind of stuckness that lives in the body.
It does not always have words.
It might feel like silence in your chest, or tension in your throat.
A heaviness behind the eyes.
A tightness in your belly that never quite relaxes.
You might find yourself saying:
“I am afraid to speak up in my relationship.”
“I keep everything inside.”
“I do not feel like myself anymore.”
Or simply:
“I do not know what I am feeling.”
This is not just in your head.
It is in your body — in the parts of you that learned long ago how to stay safe by staying small, quiet, or frozen.
And maybe now, those old strategies are no longer serving you.
Maybe something inside is ready to soften.
To feel.
To return.
The Quiet Wound of Emotional Neglect
Many of the women I work with carry unspoken wounds.
Not loud or obvious trauma, but the quiet ache of emotional neglect.
Growing up without enough warmth, presence, or understanding.
As adults, this can show up as:
- Feeling disconnected from your body and emotions
- Struggling with overwhelm or anxiety
- Constant self-doubt or inner criticism
- A sense that you have lost touch with who you are
- Relationships where it is hard to speak your truth or feel safe to be seen
You might long to feel grounded.
To know what you feel.
To stop second-guessing yourself.
To feel safe — not just with others, but inside your own skin.
A Gentle, Body-Based Way Back to You
This is the heart of somatic inner child healing; not fixing or pushing, but gently reconnecting.
Listening to your body like it is an old friend.
Slowing down to reconnect with yourself.
Creating safety in your nervous system.
This healing journey is not about perfection or the need to be flawless.
It is about softening.
Unfreezing.
Through gentle, body-based healing and deep listening, we begin to create safety in your body and inner world.
We gently meet your inner children who still carry old stories.
We make space for emotions you were never allowed to feel.
And slowly, one step at a time, you come home to yourself.
This support is for you if:
- You want a slow, trauma-informed healing process
- You are ready to reconnect with your emotions and body
- You want to speak up in relationships, from a grounded place
- You are longing for depth, not quick fixes
- You want long-term support that honours your pace
This Is Not About Becoming Someone New
It is about becoming who you always were — before the freezing, before the silence, before you had to leave parts of yourself behind.
It is a return to wholeness.
A quiet empowerment.
A life that feels like yours again.
