Somatic Experiencing for Pelvic Health

Learn about our nervous system, how our body, including our pelvic floor, holds stress and tension, and the impact this can have. Through implementing breathwork, grounding techniques, and pelvic floor exercises, we will learn how to bring more awareness to our bodies, connect to our pelvic floor, and release tension to improve our overall health and wellness. Our Pelvic Floor activities will be led by Allison Richardson.

Somatic Experiencing is a body-oriented approach to healing trauma that focuses on releasing trapped trauma-related energy in the body, helping individuals regulate their nervous systems and move through the physical sensations associated with past experiences. By gently guiding participants to reconnect with their bodies and become aware of sensations, Somatic Experiencing helps to release tension, reduce hypervigilance, and restore a sense of safety and calm. At this event, Jennifer Solarte, Reiki Master, Somatic Practitioner, author, keynote speaker, and trauma coach, will lead participants through a guided Somatic Experiencing practice. Expect a gentle and supportive environment where you'll be encouraged to explore your own body's wisdom at your own pace. Jennifer will guide you through exercises that may involve noticing subtle sensations, movements, or images, empowering you to access your body's innate capacity for self-healing and resilience. This session is designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of prior experience with somatic work. Learn more about Jennifer here: Founder and Board — &Rise
