Introducing My Book

I’m so excited to share that over the last two years, I've been writing a book! It will be published by DK/Penguin Random House on November 3, 2026.

Somatic Healing: Soothe Your Nervous System with Body-first Therapy includes everything you need to know about using your body and nervous system to heal. It offers over 100 guided exercises. And it’s big, colorful, and beautifully, fully illustrated.

Writing this book was like pulling threads out of a ball of yarn. A slow untangling of my knowledge and skills gained over years of personal practice in my own healing journey, a decade of running my private practice in Somatic Experiencing, yoga and expressive arts therapy, and 18 years of deep study of the human body, public health, and trauma healing modalities across the world.

After untangling the threads, it became a journey of reweaving. I went through a powerful creative process to bring it all together: modern science, ancient wisdom, Eastern traditions and ancestral practices. Rooted in science, the book offers an accessible guide to somatic healing. Whether you’re a beginner to somatics looking for a place to start, or a seasoned practitioner of these arts, the book has something special to offer you.

The first half is the theory and science. And the second half is ALL practical somatic skills you can use in everyday life: to process and understand your emotions, to release stress, anger and anxiety, to work through grief, to find more vitality, playfulness and joy. And to find wholeness and connection in a world that so often tries to disintegrate us and pull us apart.
