Birth is a profound physical experience, but the changes don't stop once the baby is born.

Your body is adjusting. Your nervous system is adjusting. Your emotions, relationships, routines, and sense of identity may all be shifting at the same time.

And sometimes, the hardest part is that everyone around you assumes you should simply be happy that the baby is here.

But postpartum healing is not one-size-fits-all.

After more than 40 years of working with women, birth, postpartum, and the mind-body connection, I've learned how important it is to make space for the whole experience.

That's part of why I work with somatics and energy medicine. They give us another way to understand what the body may be communicating and how our physical and emotional experiences can be connected.

I'll be exploring these ideas more during my upcoming webinar on November 4th. If you've been curious about somatic work or want to better understand the connection between your body and your emotional experience, I'd love for you to join me.

The postpartum period asks the body to adjust on many levels at once.

There is physical recovery, but there is also the ongoing experience of responding, anticipating, feeding, holding, waking, and learning. Even during quiet moments, part of you may remain alert.

This is one reason rest may not always feel restful and why emotions can arrive with surprising intensity.

A somatic approach makes space for the full experience. Instead of asking why you cannot “get back to normal,” it invites you to notice what your body has been carrying and what kind of support it needs now.

You are not behind. You are moving through a profound transition, and your body deserves to be included in the care you receive.

Somatic work does not only belong in a therapy session. It can become part of how we understand and move through stress, emotions, relationships, and everyday experiences.

During my next free webinar, we’ll explore ways to connect more intentionally with the body and bring somatic awareness into our everyday lives.

You do not need any previous experience with somatic work to join us. You only need a willingness to pause, notice, and become curious about what your body may be communicating.

Nifty example from a webinar I gave last month.

06/10/2026

Ever wonder why you can still feel wired after a stressful moment, even when the situation is over?

Your nervous system is designed to move through a cycle.

Think about rushing to catch a tram. You see it pulling in, your body activates, you run, you make it through the doors, and then you finally sit down and breathe.

That activation had somewhere to go.

In everyday life, though, we don’t always get to complete that cycle. Stress can linger in the body, even after the moment has passed.

Somatic work can help us notice & become more aware of these patterns and reconnect with what’s happening in the body.

If you’re curious about exploring somatic work for yourself, you can book a call with me to talk about what you’re experiencing and whether this approach may be a good fit.

We’re often taught to move quickly away from discomfort.

Figure it out. Fix it. Push through it. Make it stop.

But sometimes there is another option:

Pause and notice.
What is happening in your body right now?

You don't have to immediately understand why you're feeling something. You don't have to change it.

You can start with awareness.

That small pause can create space between what you're experiencing and how you respond to it.

Save this for the next time you feel yourself rushing to fix how you feel.

A somatic technique for releasing tension.

07/09/2026

What would it feel like to give your body somewhere to release what it has been holding?

In this simple somatic exercise, we bring awareness to the neck, notice where tension is present, and gently imagine pouring that tension into our hands.

There is no forcing and no need to make anything happen. Somatic work begins by slowing down enough to notice what the body is communicating, then giving it the space and support to respond.

If you're curious about the connection between the body, energy, and healing, join me for a free Intro to Energy Medicine webinar.
