Healing Early Developmental & Inherited Family Trauma with Somatic Experiencing(SE), Co-Regulating T You may want to move towards lasting change.
I'm a Integrative Relational Somatic Psychotherapist and Somatic Practitioner working with developmental trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, chronic pain, chronic illness, syndromal conditions, emotional and relational challenges. I help people to develop awareness of the underlying physical responses that inform their emotions and behaviour. I use Co-Regulating Touch Bodywork for Trauma, NeuroAffective Touch and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to assist in Nervous System Resilience and Regulation to help change physiology for clients who work with me. I also offer online sessions on Zoom, if that suits your needs. You may be struggling in your relationship, suffering from anxiety or depression, experiencing low self-esteem, suffering from an eating disorder or grieving a loss. You may also be in transition and facing questions of identity, meaning or purpose in your life. You may be facing familiar feelings of stuckness and 'just going through the motions of life'. You may feel angry, sad or frustrated at the patterns in your life. You could be facing a crisis but you don’t have to be. You may be suffering from the hidden effects of trauma - a loss of connection with others - and you may feel numb, without knowing exactly why. Your self-esteem and feelings of well-being may be suffering. When facing difficulties in our lives, it can be helpful to engage with someone who listens deeply, understands and helps you make sense of your experience. Clients tell me that they find me understanding, caring, and supportive. They feel connected when working with me and trust me to share the challenges they are facing – they feel accepted without being judged. There’s an unmistakable link between hidden, early developmental trauma and chronic anxiety, depression, relational struggles, illness or pain. As an integrative relational somatic therapist and whole body somatic practitioner, I work with you deeply at the level of the nervous system and body sensations to heal invisible, long-held trauma, so that your emotional and physical symptoms can heal. You don’t have to be defined by your symptoms and it is possible to feel better. Somatic Experiencing (SE), Co-Regulating Touch Bodywork for Trauma, Somatic Relational Awareness & Inquiry and Body-Mind Centering are some of the methods we will explore together. I will be both supportive and active and help you create new kinds of understanding, possibility and embodiment, so you can progress, at your pace, to rise into the fullness of who you are. Your nature is fluid - naturally at ease and free. You may have spent a long time keeping what you feel inside, not knowing what you feel or not feeling able to speak up about it. You may feel stuck, in emotional or physical pain, anxious, depressed or suffering. You don’t have to be. No matter what your history, ease and freedom is possible for you. Wholeness and joy are already in you. Our work together will support you to access what’s true inside of you. You may be struggling in your relationship, experiencing low self-esteem, struggling with an eating disorder or body image concerns, going through a divorce or grieving a loss. You may feel angry, sad or frustrated at the patterns that you’ve noticed in your life and don’t know how to get to the root of what’s happening for you and move towards lasting change. You can learn about embodiment, your nervous system and how your body is giving you messages that are helpful for you to learn how to understand. Let’s take time to slow down, notice and get in to your body. Your body holds a map of your emotional history. Allow yourself to feel and know your body in a full and deep way. Embody the fullness of your life and yourself. Feel grounded in the truth of yourself. Be with what’s here for you now. Touch in to the sensations inside of you and understand what your feelings truly mean for you. You may be judging yourself harshly and your self-esteem and feelings of well-being may be suffering. When facing difficulties in our lives, it can be helpful to engage with someone who will take part in our dance of co-regulation - someone who listens deeply, understands, helps you make sense of your experience - and will help you cultivate embodied resilience within yourself, in your relationships and in your life. To begin, we will take time for you to develop a sense of safety between us - cultivating and nurturing a caring, connected and supportive relationship, so that you can trust me to share what may be challenging you - while feeling accepted without being judged. Embodying the truth of you is possible - along with lasting change and growth.

Sometimes healing isn’t about noticing what happened; it’s about noticing what was missing: safety, belonging, attunement and being met with presence. 🌟 These experiences shape how we move through the world, and how safe it feels to simply be. 🌟 Let’s go beyond words into a space where the body remembers. 🌟 Somatic healing ❤️🩹 gently guides the nervous system back towards safety and connection. 🌟 We focus on providing your body with experiences it once longed for - and allow it to experience now. 🌟 Let’s move towards restoration and healing. ❤️🩹

I’m here to remind you that your terrified younger part within you is not all there is within you. 🌟 There’s also a nurturing and protective inner mother and father, who want nothing more than to support and love you unconditionally. 🌟 So much of true belonging comes from belonging deeply to ourselves first - waking up to what is true for us and no longer trying to fit into spaces that are too small for us. 🌟 Notice if your efforts to belong involve hiding your imperfections, and allowing ourselves to disappear in order to be loved and accepted. 🌟 Our work together guides you home towards your true essence - through fear and shame and towards your truth and deep inner knowing. 🌟 Let’s expand into the wise adults we can be - together. 🌟

Many of us have no idea what we need. 🌟 We follow along in the flow of life and prioritize the needs of others to stay in connection and feel grounded and loved. 💗 What do you notice in your body when you consider your needs and consider asking for what you want? 🌟 How can you centre your needs, and cultivate healthy connections with others, who are also centring their needs too? 💗 This is the work of our lives. 💗 Moving towards secure attachment with self and reparenting our younger parts. 🌟 Join the community. 🌟 www.kimcochrane.ca 💗

Every life reaches a moment when its old defensive accommodations can begin to feel like a prison. 🌟 The rules that you followed to earn love, begin to cost too much; the patterns that once held you together, begin to hold you back. 🌟 The defenses that were designed to protect us in early childhood, can now keep us from our own becoming. 🌺 When a pattern is broken, this makes more room for the growth of the self. 🌸 Somatic healing supports you to shift relational patterns, transform chronic body sensations, cultivate secure attachment, and increase the quality of connection in your life. 🌹 We will integrate the feminine shadow, held and experienced in the body - and become freer from internalized patriarchy and the heaviness of trauma. 🌟 www.kimcochrane.ca 🌟

Have you noticed a recurring sense of tightness, tension and anxiety in your body? 🌟 This could be an alarm state - an experience of hyper vigilance - and it needs space and time to meet it with attunement, understanding and openness. 🌟 All anxiety can be attributed to separation anxiety - and our body’s responses can change when there is a consistent reconnection of our younger part with our adult part - as felt deeply in the body. 🌟 This is the roots of deep somatic attachment-focused healing. ❤️🩹 with you ❤️🩹

If we’re not willing to shift our plans to follow our hearts, then we can be stuck in fear. 🌟 As I’ve been navigating my own move to a new location in the world - I trust myself - I know that I don’t need to hold on too tightly to anything and get stuck in fear. 🌟 We can feel the fear and face it - and we don’t have to get stuck in it. 🌟 What is new and fresh makes me feel alive and thriving. 🌺 Healing supports this process of feeling your feelings, trusting yourself and moving through the world with more ease. 🌟💗 with you 💗
09/26/2025
This is a sign to invite you to move on. 🌟 It is time to shake off the old and welcome the new. 🌟 Losing something or leaving it behind can feel scary at first, but liberating yourself from old patterns that are no longer serving you, can make you feel light and free. 🌟 Adjusting to the new, while mourning the old, will require you to be kind to yourself - allow yourself to be supported along the way. 🌟 with you 🌟

When you step in to the unfolding mystery of your life - you will find what lies beyond the tight grip of your control - a new found flow, ease and vitality. 🌟 Move beyond your stories - the narrative you’ve been holding about yourself and allow yourself the feel the energetic freedom that can be embodied by only you. 🌟 love 💗 www.kimcochrane.ca 💗

It can feel very overwhelming when we are reaching out for support - how do we know what we need? What is supportive and healing for you? 🌟❤️ Somatic healing helps us get in touch with our pain, feel it and become a loving and supportive person in our own lives. 🌟❤️ Let’s touch into the wounds of internalized patriarchy, the mother wound and our inherited mask as a woman. 🌟❤️ Begin again this fall - cross a new threshold and access your wild, creative feminine power. 🌟❤️ with you 🌟❤️

The women I work with 🌟 are beginning to thrive through midlife and beyond 🌟 Each of them are waking up ☀️ moving beyond thinking and are beginning to feel all that they’ve been holding. 🌟 They are working through unfulfilling and codependent relational patterns and are becoming aware of what they truly value now. ☀️ If you are willing to face what you’ve been tolerating 🌺 and understand that you are more valuable in your life than you ever imagined. 🌟 Thriving begins when you give yourself what you deeply need, again and again and again. 🌟
