Answer: Because carer burnout doesn’t just live in your mind.
It lives in your body.
Traditional therapy can help you process emotions and understand your patterns… and that matters.
But when your nervous system has been on high alert for years… managing meltdowns, appointments, sleep deprivation, constant “what ifs”, your body forgets how to switch off.
That’s why you can talk for an hour, feel lighter for a moment… and then the exhaustion floods back.
It’s not because therapy failed.
It’s because your body is still stuck in survival mode.
This is where somatic healing comes in —
✨ Nervous system resets to signal safety
✨ Release techniques to move stored stress
✨ Grounding tools that calm chaos in the moment
Somatic healing doesn’t just manage the symptoms… it works at the root, where trauma lives in the body.
When your body feels safe, your mind can finally rest.
And that’s exactly why I created this step by step somatic healing program (designed specifically for carers and parents of children with disabilities) — to help you not just to cope, but retrain your body to feel safe, calm, and connected again.
Because you deserve more than survival… you deserve to feel alive in your body again.
