Introduction To Somatic Healing. Calm Yourself In Stressful Situations. Healing Deeper Levels Of Trauma And Chronic Stress.

An emotionally soothing workshop that gives you the chance to experience yourself moving peacefully through your daily life.

If you are living with ongoing anxiety, depression, trauma, or stress– you may feel like it will never get better. You have probably tried therapy, books, and other modalities to heal. You may be at a point of accepting that this is as good as life gets. I was at a point five years ago where anxiety and insomnia ruled my days and nights, and I was losing hope that things would ever get better. What changed everything? Learning how to work with my nervous system.

Think of the last time you were cozy, safe, calm, and full of faith in your own life journey.

You can feel this way again! Join me for an adventure into your own nervous system, a new approach to healing and living a calmer life. My work is all about unlocking the secrets of your nervous system so you respond differently to stress and feel more content in your daily life.

In this three-day experience, you will learn practical skills to stop racing thoughts, come into your body, and begin to trust your innate wisdom.

Join Dr. Alice Kerby for an exploration of your nervous system. In this three-day experience, you will learn practical skills to stop racing thoughts, feel more present in your body, and begin to trust your innate wisdom. This program includes gentle movement and creative expression, guided practices to restore your system to a place of calm, and practical information to satisfy your intelligent cognitive mind. You will leave with a greater understanding of how to pause before responding, listen to your gut, and be assertive in a healthy way.

This retreat will include gentle movement and guided practices to calm the nervous system and connect you to your body. We will cover foundational information about how your nervous system works and stores both trauma and stress, and how we can heal them! We play with animal imagery and how to connect to the “wild” part of yourself in an exploration of healthy assertion and boundaries.

Class Overview

Dr. Alice is a formerly highly stressed insomniac who discovered Somatic Experiencing techniques when she thought there was no hope for change. Somatic Experiencing (SE) is a “bottom up” modality, created by Dr Peter Levine, author of Waking the Tiger, that works with healing deeper levels of trauma and chronic stress from a physical and subconscious level. Our workshop will provide an introduction to somatic techniques that leave you feeling calmer and more connected to your body so you respond to life from a place of your essential self.

Dr Alice holds a clinical doctorate in Physical Therapy and is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Recovery Coach. She brings decades of experience to her work, and provides a fun and safe environment for you to heal and relax.
