The nervous system is the foundation of all other systems in the body.

Why Touch?

Touch is our first language. Before we had words or logic, we had sensation and felt experience. Research shows that safe, attuned touch can calm the amygdala, reduce cortisol, and regulate the vagus nerve.

For those with developmental trauma—often rooted in preverbal years—talk alone isn’t enough. Transforming Touch℠ reaches the layers where words can’t.

Not Just Gentle—Precise

This is not “just relaxing.” It’s not spa therapy or vague “energy work.” Transforming Touch is grounded in clinical observation, attachment theory, and polyvagal-informed practice. It meets complex trauma with precision, respect, and attunement.

You will not be asked to relive your trauma. We work slowly and respectfully with what your system can tolerate—offering real choice, consistent safety, and deep listening.

What Clients Often Notice:

This Work Is For You If…

• Talk therapy helped, or maybe it didn’t, either way something still feels stuck

• You’re living with chronic stress, shutdown, or hypervigilance

• You have a history of early medical procedures, neglect, or anxiety/chronic stress

• You want to reconnect with your body—on your terms

Compassion Without Compromise

I don’t believe in bypassing, fixing, or promising easy healing. I believe in meeting your system where it is—with informed care, embodied presence, and deep respect for what it took to survive.
