Your body has been trying to tell you something.

That's normal, especially in Session 1. Your body has spent years protecting itself. It doesn't open up on command. It opens when it trusts. Sometimes the first session is just the body saying hello. That's enough.

Some people feel tired, emotional, or achy after a session. This is your body processing, like soreness after a deep massage. It usually settles within 24–48 hours. Drink water. Rest. Be gentle with yourself. If it persists, message me.

Welcome. Tears are release. They're a sign your body is completing something it's been holding. There's no wrong way to feel in a session.

That's your mind doing its job, protecting you. We don't fight it. We work alongside it. Sometimes the most powerful session is one where you spend the whole time learning to land. That is the work.

Not every session has a big release. Sometimes the shift is subtle: a slight softening in your chest, a deeper breath, a moment where your shoulders drop without you trying. That's your nervous system reorganising. Subtle is not small.

No. There is conversation in a session, but the body is the primary guide. In talk therapy, change comes through narrative and understanding. In Soma Speak, change comes through direct contact with sensation: what the body is doing right now, not the story behind it. You don't need to retell anything. You just need to be willing to notice what's there.

Your Listening Log is a record we build together across your sessions. At the end of each session, we note where sensation lived today, what it felt like in your own words, what shifted, and what to carry into the week. Over time, it becomes a map of your body's journey, something you can look at and see, in your own words, what changed.

Yes. A single session gives you a genuine experience of the work. That said, the nervous system learns cumulatively. Most people notice the real shift across three to six sessions. Come for one, and see how your body responds.
