Somatic Bodywork

The state and capacity of your nervous system sets the foundation for your life - are you supporting yours?

Your nervous system decides what feels safe, what feels possible, and how far you can go.

Stress, emotional overload, trauma, and years of pushing past your limits don’t just affect your mind — they accumulate in your body. Shaping your reactions, your capacity, your patterns, your health and the way you move through the world.

Over time, this creates tension, anxiety, fatigue, emotional reactivity, numbness — and it limits your ability to create the life, relationships, success, or wellbeing you actually want.

Somatic Bodywork works at the level where real change happens: the nervous system.

Through gentle yet powerful techniques — including fascial unwinding, organ massage, breathwork, attuned touch, and energy work — your body enters a deeply relaxed parasympathetic state.

This is the state where stress patterns, stored emotions and trauma release, chronic tension unwinds, nervous system resilience, capacity and safety builds, and your whole system heals.

This is not just relaxation. It’s physiological recalibration.

With ongoing sessions, your body builds somatic safety, capacity, and resilience.

Your dream life begins in your nervous system. When your body feels safe, you expand. When your nervous system is regulated, you can actually hold the life you’re trying to build.

Somatic Bodywork builds the foundation — clearing what your mind can’t reach and supporting you to thrive mentally, emotionally, and physically.

Your dream life starts in your body & nervous system

Your nervous system is the control center of your entire life. It constantly scans for safety, regulates your stress response, influences your thoughts and emotions, and determines how much you can hold, feel, and create.

  • Research across neuroscience, polyvagal theory, and stress physiology shows that the nervous system controls:

    • How you think and process information (prefrontal cortex function)

    • How you feel and regulate emotions (limbic system + vagal pathways)

    • How you connect with others (social engagement system)

    • How you behave (survival responses)

    • What you believe is possible (predictive coding + threat detection)

    • How much love, success, pleasure, and joy your system can hold (window of tolerance)

    • And whether change feels safe enough for your brain and body to allow it (neuroception)

    Many people live in a state of chronic stress where all of the above is influenced.

    Healing your nervous system changes the biology that drives your entire life.

    When your nervous system safety and capacity expand, your life expands.

  • Chronic stress, past hurts, trauma, and emotional overload shift your brain and body into survival states (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). In these states:

    • Your prefrontal cortex (clarity, decision-making, confidence) goes offline

    • Your limbic system (emotion, fear, patterning) takes over

    • Your body prioritizes protection, not expansion

    This makes it harder to:

    • Make aligned decisions

    • Follow through

    • Feel confident

    • Trust yourself

    • Feel safe to grow or change

    Because of this, many people unconsciously live in a state of chronic stress.

  • Your “window of tolerance” — your nervous system’s capacity — dictates how much:

    • Love

    • Success

    • Intimacy

    • Visibility

    • Responsibility

    • Pleasure

    • Money

    • Joy

    you can actually hold and receive. This is why people who for example win the lottery often loose the money very quickly - they don’t have the capacity to hold it.

    Your dream life requires capacity.

    Capacity is created in your nervous system.

  • "Pia's somatic unwinding session was incredible. I've had issues with my sciatica for 6 months and after Pia's treatment, my pain has almost disappeared completely (I plan on continuing my treatments with Pia). Pia listened carefully to me and my body both before and during the treatment and knew exactly where she was able to push and where to go more gently - she truly connects with the body and knows what it needs. She creates a beautiful space for you to relax when she does her magical work. I cannot recommend Pia enough and I'm looking forward to continuing my treatments with her!"

    Woman, 33, Sciatica pain

  • "I had the pleasure of receiving Pia’s somatic treatment, and I can strongly recommend it to anyone needing a holistically grounding experience. Pia is thorough and patient in her healing methods. She is warm and kind as a person, and highly perceptive as a coach. During the treatment I felt at peace, and many blockages got unstuck. I felt like this was just what I needed. I will definitely revisit her sessions!"

    Woman, 31, Body aches & pains

  • "I had a somatic unwinding session with Pia, not knowing what to expect, looking for something to help my back pain and clear my body. I couldn't have asked for more, the session was magical, Pia somehow knowing exactly where my body needed to be pulled, pushed, or massaged, leaving me in a state of grounded bliss. I highly recommend it!"

    Or, you can jump right into booking a session. If you decide to purchase a bundle, the first session will be included in this.

  • Prior to the session I'd recommend drinking plenty of water and wearing comfortable clothes. Other than that, there's nothing you have to do to prepare.

    All sessions are different and tailored to the individual. However, typically we start with a conversation on how you're feeling, the change you've experienced since the session prior, any challenges or specific pain points, how your body is feeling etc.

    After the initial discussion, we'll continue with Somatic Bodywork. During the session you'll lie down, relax, breathe and receive. Often, people enter a deep relaxed almost sleep-like recovery state.

    After the session we'll have time for a short chat on anything that came up during the session, aftercare and any practices I'd recommend in-between sessions to support your process.

  • The number of sessions varies depending on your intention, situation and state. Some clients feel significant shifts after 3 sessions (this is my recommended minimum), while others may choose to continue longer for deeper transformation and ongoing support.

    We’ll discuss what works best for you in our consultation call.
