Somatic Therapy is body-based therapy

What Somatic therapy helps you normalize: noticing how stress, trauma, and emotions live in your body, not just your mind. Some examples are movement, breathwork, band ody awareness.

If talk therapy feels like it’s not enough, somatic therapy gives your body a voice too.

Say it with us:

Stress in your mind → shows up in your body.

Stress in your body → impacts your mind.

Some examples you might recognize:
Gut issues ↔ mood.
Anxiety ↔ racing heart.
Joy ↔ lightness/energy.

This two-way street is why therapies like Somatic Experiencing or EMDR pay attention to both mind and body.

Our bodies carry stories our minds can’t always put into words.

Today, take 2 minutes to pause and ask yourself:

How is my body feeling right now?

Notice: tension, warmth, heaviness, or lightness.
Your body may be speaking louder than your thoughts.

Movement is a language. Our bodies carry wisdom we often overlook.

Today we’re celebrating our wonderful therapist, Rachel Richardson — and all the heart, insight, and humor she brings to Head First Health. 💛

Rachel has a gift for helping clients navigate the messy, real parts of life — from relationship struggles and family conflict to co-parenting stress, career challenges, anxiety, and trauma. Her calm, grounded presence helps people find clarity and connection when things feel hard.

When she’s not in session, Rachel finds her own sense of balance through movement, creativity, and connection — whether she’s flowing through pilates, crafting new recipes in the kitchen, sipping a great cup of coffee, sailing Lake Michigan, or curling up with a book and her Maine C**n.

We’re so lucky to have you on the team, Rachel — thank you for the light and care you bring to everyone around you. Here’s to another year of growth, laughter, and impact. 💫

Intrusive thoughts pop up for everyone. The difference with OCD or anxiety is how much weight we give them. Trying to “fight” or “neutralize” the thought often makes it stronger.

The shift? Learn new ways to respond with curiosity and compassion instead of control.
