Somatic Therapy in Colorado
We provide somatic therapy in Colorado designed to help you reconnect with your body and release stored tension. Instead of focusing only on thoughts, this approach invites gentle awareness of breath, posture, and sensation so you can build capacity, set boundaries, and move through difficult feelings without overwhelm. If past experiences, chronic stress, or anxiety have kept your system stuck on “high alert,” this page explains what to expect, how we work, and how to start.

What Is Somatic Therapy in Colorado?
Somatic therapy centers the body as a primary source of information and change. In sessions, you’ll notice sensations, impulses, and micro-shifts, then experiment with small adjustments that bring relief and steadiness. This isn’t about pushing yourself into distress. We pace the work so your system stays inside a tolerable range and learns new patterns safely over time. Many clients appreciate how concrete and practical this feels compared with talk-only models of care. It’s often described as a form of mind-body therapy that helps you reconnect with parts of yourself that went offline during stress.
How Somatic Therapy Helps With Trauma and Stress
Stress and trauma can wire your system toward fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. Somatic work teaches you to track early cues and choose supportive actions before the spiral takes over. We’ll build skills for grounding, orienting, and gentle movement so your body learns there are options besides bracing or shutting down. Over time, this strengthens self-trust, reduces reactivity, and supports nervous system regulation in daily life at home, at work, and in relationships. When your body trusts that safety is possible, your mind follows.
Somatic Therapy in Colorado - Our Approach
Our practice offers somatic therapy in Colorado focused on awareness, regulation, and safe, body-based growth. We go slowly, introduce one skill at a time, and keep you in charge of the pace. When relevant, we may draw from somatic experiencing principles to support stuck survival energy to complete and settle. You’ll leave sessions with simple practices you can use between appointments, like a 60-second reset before a tough meeting or a grounding routine for better sleep. We also collaborate with your other providers when useful, creating a coordinated plan that respects your goals and needs.
Nervous System Regulation and Body Awareness
Rather than chasing a specific feeling, we build literacy by learning how your system signals safety and stress. We map what “too much,” “too little,” and “just right” feel like, then practice small shifts that move you toward steadiness. This might include breath awareness, micro-movements, posture adjustments, or eye gaze orientation. As nervous system regulation improves, many clients notice fewer spikes in anxiety and quicker recovery after triggers. You’ll develop language for sensations, which makes it easier to advocate for yourself and to ask for what you need in real time.
Session Flow: Assessment, Tracking, Titration
A typical session starts with a brief check-in about what feels most important right now. We’ll track sensations of tightness, warmth, tingling, numbness and use tiny experiments to see what helps something soften or release. Titration means working with small amounts of activation, then pausing to integrate. We build rest and resources into the work so your system learns that change can be safe. Over weeks, you’ll see patterns more clearly, identify triggers sooner, and choose responses that align with your values. At Burning Sage, we offer somatic therapy in Colorado to support healing that moves at a pace your system can handle.
Benefits Clients Often Notice
Clients often report better sleep, fewer headaches or digestive flares, and more ease in social or work settings. You may feel more present in conversations and less hijacked by sudden waves of fear, shame, or anger. Many notice improved boundaries because it becomes easier to tell when something is too much and to say so early. As your body trusts that it can settle after activation, you gain capacity for joy, purpose, and connection. We provide somatic therapy in Colorado focused on enhancing skills from CBT and mindfulness while strengthening body awareness.
Who Is a Good Fit?
If you’ve tried talk therapy but still feel trapped in cycles of tension, shutdown, or hypervigilance, this work may fit. It can support adults navigating anxiety, panic, grief, relational conflict, medical stress, or the aftermath of difficult life events. It’s also useful if your symptoms feel “physical” yet medical workups keep coming back clear. We respect cultural context, identity, and access needs, and we adapt practices so they’re safe and doable for you. Our team offers somatic therapy in Colorado that supports leaders, caregivers, and professionals navigating constant demands.
Somatic Therapy in Colorado - In Person and Telehealth
We offer Somatic Therapy in Colorado through both in-person sessions and secure telehealth statewide. In the office, we can incorporate chair-based movement and grounding props. Online, we adapt with camera framing, breath pacing, and simple exercises you can do in your own space. Many clients appreciate the continuity of travel or schedule changes that don’t disrupt momentum. Whether in person or online, we keep the work collaborative, consent-based, and paced to your nervous system. At Burning Sage, we offer somatic therapy in Colorado to help you maintain steady progress even when your environment changes.
Integrating Skills Into Daily Life
Between sessions, brief practices help your system generalize learning. You might set a two-minute timer to scan for ease in your jaw and shoulders, orient by naming five neutral objects in your room, or practice a short stance shift that signals “I have support.” We encourage journaling about what helped, what didn’t, and what you’re curious to try next. A few minutes, repeated often, change the baseline. Discover somatic therapy in Colorado that combines insight with everyday usefulness from meetings to commutes.
Getting Started
First, we’ll clarify goals, sleep, anxiety, boundaries, pain flare-ups, or performance under pressure. Then we’ll outline a plan for frequency and length of care, discuss costs and scheduling, and answer questions about fit. You can begin with a brief consultation to confirm comfort and alignment with your therapist. If a different modality would serve you better, we’ll say so and offer options. Experience somatic therapy in Colorado tailored to help you grow consistently and confidently over time.
