Somatic Experiencing Touch Therapy

Discover the Power of Somatic Touch Therapy

Hello there! I’m Peter Cellarius, and I’m here to introduce you to the transformative world of Somatic Touch Therapy. It’s a gentle yet impactful modality that supports healing from stress, trauma, and chronic pain especially when other approaches haven’t provided full relief.

What is Somatic Touch Therapy?

Think of Somatic Touch Therapy as a method that communicates in your body’s native language  touch. This unique therapy assists your system in recovering from emotional and physical overwhelm. It helps rewire patterns towards calm, safety, and healthier functioning.

This slow-paced, gentle approach sends key signals to your body that reduce stress-related hormones and elevate trust-inducing ones. The outcome? A more regulated and resilient version of you  from your nervous system all the way to your internal organs.

How Can Somatic Touch Therapy Help You?

You may find this therapy especially helpful if you’re coping with:

  • Chronic stress or anxiety
  • Trauma, especially including early childhood and developmental experiences
  • Persistent pain or health issues including POTS, dysautonomia, RSD/CRPS
  • A sense that something's "off," or that you cannot settle or regulate fully
Then Somatic Touch Therapy might be a missing piece in your healing journey. It’s especially helpful for those experiences that seem to elude even traditional talk therapy.

What to Expect in a Session

You’ll remain fully clothed throughout, as we collaborate to tune into your body’s needs. Using respectful, attuned touch, we’ll work on releasing tension, supporting emotional processing, and reconnecting with areas that feel numb or withdrawn.

Sessions may include work on a massage table using slow, sustained contact with joints, diaphragms, or organs  always delivered with safety, consent, and attentiveness. Every treatment is tailored to you and paced based on what feels safe and comfortable.

Depending on your needs, we may work while you’re seated, lying down, or gently moving. The therapy meets you where you are.

SE Touch is not a fit for everyone  but if this speaks to you, let’s have a conversation.
