Somatic practice comes from the Greek word soma, meaning living body. It describes the art of reconnecting with our inner sensations, the quiet signals that show how we truly feel. Instead of focusing on thoughts or analysis, somatic healing works through the body itself. It helps calm the nervous system, release stored tension, and rebuild a sense of safety from within.

For a long time, I believed that healing meant doing everything right. After my diagnosis, I wanted to understand every process in my body, track every step, every supplement, every nutrient. I tried to optimize myself into balance. But at some point, I realized that the constant monitoring and self-improvement had become its own source of stress.
