Somatic Experiencing Sunday

What is Somatic Experiencing (SE)?

A gentle, body-based approach to healing from stress, trauma and overwhelm.

Trauma isn’t just what happened
It’s how your nervous system got stuck trying to protect you.

SE works with your body (not just your thoughts)

Body -based meaning focusing on physical sensations, like tightness, warmth, or breathing, to help your nervous system settle and heal.

- If you’ve ever felt:

• anxious or overwhelmed
• shut down or numb
• like you mentally "understand it"… but your body still reacts

That’s not you failing
That’s your nervous system doing its job.

- How SE helps:

✨ Works with your body, not just talking
✨ Slows things down so it feels manageable
✨ Gently move through stored stress
✨ Helps you return to your “window of tolerance.”

- The most important part:

○ You don’t have to relive everything to heal
○ Your reactions make sense
○ Your body can learn to feel safe again

We’re excited to introduce Vibeke, a Registered Massage Therapist now offering treatments within  Ease and Insight Wellness  starting April 8th 

Vibeke is a graduate of the West Coast College of Massage Therapy in Victoria and offers personalized, therapeutic massage designed to support both immediate relief and long-term wellbeing.

Her focus includes:
• Stress-related tension
• Postural strain
• Chronic pain patterns
• Movement restrictions

Her approach blends therapeutic precision with a calm, restorative style to support injury recovery, nervous system regulation, and sustainable progress.

Vibeke also has a special interest in women’s health, including menstrual cycle-related pain and the transitions of perimenopause and menopause.

She has additional training in hot stone massage and instrument-assisted soft tissue techniques, using tools when appropriate to support tissue mobility and recovery.

Vibeke works best with clients who are ready to take an active role in their health and move forward with intention.

 Outside the clinic, she feels most at home in nature: surfing, mountain biking, or walking the trails with her husband and their dog, Boonie.

You can find Vibeke practicing out of Ease and Insight Wellness
She operates her own independent practice and is not booked through Ease and Insight

Yin Yoga with a Somatic Lens

Join us for a somatic exploration of Yin Yoga. Saturday February 28th from 10:30am -11:30am at the Caleb Pike Heritage Park Schoolhouse.

Yin Yoga is a slower pace, holding poses for 4 minutes, this allows for more focus on the mind body connection.

The pacing is perfect for a somatic practice. Jessica Burn will lead the yoga practice while JoAnn Hill (Registered Clinical Counselor, Registered Massage Therapist and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner) will guide participants through a a practice of increasing self awareness and learning how to hear the language of the body.

In a world where we are often living in our head this workshop opens up the potential to learn more about how your body communicates and how to begin to recognize what different nervous system states feel like in the body.

Cost: $40.00
