Where nervous system science

meets lasting calm.

Evidence-based somatic therapy,
trauma recovery, and nervous system care
to help you release stress,
restore balance,
and feel safe in your body.

What if Healing Began by Softening?

So much of recovery is taught as pushing harder, doing more, or powering through.

But your nervous system doesn’t need more pressure — it needs permission

to slow down, to feel supported, and to rediscover safety at a pace it can trust.

Here, science-backed tools and body-led care meet in a way that feels practical, compassionate, and sustainable — so you can release what’s been weighing you down and begin to feel like yourself again.

At Soma Lab, this means offering somatic therapy rooted in Somatic Experiencing® (SE), alongside transformative listening therapies like the Safe and Sound Protocol and the Rest and Restore Protocol, Somatic EMDR, and our integrative Soma Sessions. These practices and protocols combine nervous system regulation techniques with trauma-informed care tailored to your unique needs. Together, these approaches support trauma recovery, stress relief, and whole-body healing, helping you build lasting resilience from the inside out.
