Kristen Waters, SEP

As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, I offer somatics from an embodied personal practice. As a body-oriented modality, I hold space for you to curiously explore a connection to how your body speaks it’s mind. I offer support for your nervous system in the renegotiation of trauma. Cultivating a trust in your mind-body connection can lead to more choice in stressful moments when you find yourself under pressure, and I look forward to joining you in this exploration. Sessions can look like practices toward grounding and settling, building regulation skills, mobilization for stuck parts of trauma, boundary work, movement exercises and supportive touch. Values that are important to me: Queer and non-binary Interactions based on mutual dignity and social solidarity Rooted in an anti-oppression framework Abolitionist committed to transformative justice Somatic specialties: Stabilization of the nervous system Renegotiation of trauma Boundary work Embodiment practices and regulation skills Inviting awareness to the ways the body speaks
