When understanding isn’t enough to change how you respond
You may understand why you react the way you do and still find yourself repeating the same patterns.
Maybe you freeze during conflict, struggle to say no, feel responsible for everyone else’s feelings, or pull away when what you really want is connection.
Somatic work offers another way forward.
Rather than relying on talking and understanding alone, we pay attention to what’s happening in your body. Together, we explore the responses that keep you stuck and make room for new possibilities.
Do you recognize yourself in these patterns?
- Freezing, shutting down, or struggling in response to stress or in relationship.
- Agreeing to things you don’t want to do, then feeling resentful.
- Pulling away when you actually want connection.
- Ruminating/replaying conversations or feeling compelled to explain yourself.
- Feeling triggered or guilty after setting a boundary.
- Understanding your reactions but still feeling overwhelmed or unable to respond differently in the moment.
If you are struggling with one or more of these patterns, we can work together to try and loosen them.
I’ve seen people move beyond the grip of trauma and PTSD and begin living in ways that feel calmer, healthier, and more connected. I believe we’re capable of more change than we sometimes imagine, and witnessing that change brings me tremendous joy.
Ways to work with me
Trauma Integration Protocol (TIP)
A structured, body-based approach that works with present-moment sensations, breathing, and impulses to explore automatic responses and support trauma integration. TIP offers an experiential way to work with patterns held in the body, without requiring you to retell your past.
Medicine assisted somatic work
Body-based support for people incorporating separately obtained medicine into their healing process. This approach deepens attention to bodily experience and helps explore responses that may be difficult to access through talking alone.
Psychedelic cannabis journey work
Inwardly focused psychedelic journeys using cannabis to explore deeper layers of experience. Sessions include preparation, guided support throughout the journey, and integration afterward.
TIP practitioner mentorship
Individual mentorship for trained TIP practitioners who want to refine their skills, explore questions arising in sessions, and deepen their understanding of presence, pacing, boundaries, and nervous system responses.
A Different Kind of Support
I’m Devorah, a somatic practitioner and certified TIP Foundations practitioner. I’m warm, curious, and attentive to the small details that can reveal what’s happening beneath the surface.
I take this work seriously and believe in approaching each person with curiosity, respect, and humility. I want you to feel that you’re in capable hands while discovering greater trust in yourself and your body’s capacity for change.
You don’t have to have everything figured out to begin.
