A steady space to feel more rooted in yourself.
Somatic and attachment-based therapy in Asheville, NC
I am a somatic therapist with over 10 years of experience. My work is not about "fixing" you. It is about helping you feel more at home in your own body while navigating a world that is overwhelming.
How it works: Moving Beyond Talk
You’ve likely noticed that knowing "why" you feel a certain way doesn't always stop your body from feeling tight, overwhelmed, or shut down in the moment.
Somatic therapy is about moving from your head into the actual felt experience of your life. Instead of just analyzing, we work together to help you:
Build the capacity to stay connected to yourself even during difficult emotions.
Notice the small "cues" your body gives you before you feel overwhelmed.
Find a sense of ease that feels real, not just thought-out.
At Your Own Pace: We don’t rush this. We pay close attention to what your body is telling us in real-time so we can move at a speed that feels safe for you. This "slow and steady" way of working helps you build a solid foundation, so you can leave our sessions feeling more rooted in the here-and-now.
The framework
Our early 'blueprints' for how we connect and survive aren't created in a vacuum. They are shaped by our family stories, our ancestral histories, and the systemic pressures we live with every day. I believe that true healing has to account for all of it—the personal and the collective—by helping your body understand and process the weight of these histories so you can feel more rooted and present in your life and in community.
Intention
Goals of our work are simple but deep, supporting you in: Feeling less unsafe in your own skin, Establishing more connection with yourself and others, and Finding more fluidity in your nervous system so you can return to center more easily, and stay present in your life and rooted in your values.
I’m Rebecca, a somatic therapist.
After over a decade in this field offering trauma-informed practices, I remain deeply committed to the quiet, honest work of safe accompaniment. My heart for this practice is shaped by my own life as a parent and my belief that we all deserve a space where we don't have to perform or ‘fix’ ourselves to be seen. I’m here to offer a steady, grounded presence as you navigate your own path toward regulation and ease.
I believe the body is the first place we can begin to reclaim our sense of agency. And I’m ready to accompany you there.
Our bodies are incredible storytellers. By gently attending to your body's sensations and experiences, we can get to the deeper roots of stuck patterns and harmful narratives, and create new experiences of safety and trust.
What We Do in Session
Tools for building capacity and feeling more at home.
I use a range of specialized, nervous-system-based approaches - Somatic Experiencing (SE), Somatic Touch - Transforming Touch and Neuroaffective Touch, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP). While the names of these modalities can sound clinical, they are simply different paths to help you feel more connected to yourself and more rooted in the present.
Everything I offer is with intention to support the body and nervous system in developing a sense of safety and regulation it may have never had the chance to build.
I focus on safe accompaniment. I am not here to lead you to a destination; I am here to walk alongside you as you navigate the complexities of being alive right now.
If this integrated approach to building capacity and rootedness feels like the right fit for your nervous system, I’d be glad to hear from you.
