Somatic Therapy

Body-led dialogue and therapeutic touch to process emotions and regulate the system

In-Person (Waterloo) or Online

What does this work looks like?

A body-based approach that works with the nervous system and body process, rather than the story alone. In this work, we track sensations, impulses, emotions, supporting the body in completing stress responses that were once interrupted. This work is a combination of dialogue-based work and therapeutic touch. There is the option for acupuncture to be woven into our session as well to further support regulation in the system.

Our work together can support…

  • Unwinding survival patterns, bracing, tension, pain, or overwhelm in the body

  • Meeting difficult emotions with compassion

  • Strengthening your ability to sense boundaries, needs, and internal cues

  • Restoring a felt sense of regulation, choice, and embodied self-trust

  • Cultivating a felt sense of presence and belonging in your body, your life, and the world

  • Deepening connection to your core identity and personhood

  • Expanding your capacity for joy and aliveness

Sessions that include a touch/hands-on component can be billed through your insurance under RMT/Massage. You are always welcome to opt out of the touch component of our work. Please note that if we are only doing somatic dialogue work with no hand-on component, sessions cannot be claimed through benefits/insurance.

Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner

RMT and Acupuncture Provider

Hello! I’m happy you found your way here.

My work invites a deep reconnection to the body’s innate wisdom and supports nervous system regulation, emotional resilience, and embodied self-trust.

This work gently supports you in tracking sensations, completing survival responses, and restoring a felt sense of safety and presence. It’s not about fixing, it’s about listening to the body’s wisdom and allowing what’s been stuck to move, alchemize, and integrate at a pace that honours your unique nervous system. Together, we listen to the body’s subtle cues, and make space for what's ready to unwind, express, or shift.

In addition to somatic dialogue based work, I also offer therapeutic touch and acupuncture to support nervous system coherence.

My professional foundation is rooted in trauma-informed yoga therapy, Somatic Experiencing®, registered massage therapy (RMT), and medical acupuncture. These modalities have shaped my understanding of body physiology, and the body’s capacity for healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes. Sessions that involve a hands-on/touch component can be billed through your insurance (if applicable) under RMT/Massage. You are always welcome to opt out of the touch/hands-on component of our work. Please note that if we are only doing dialogue work with no hands-on component, sessions cannot be claimed through benefits/insurance. Additionally, online sessions cannot be billed through insurance.

  • I ask clients to start with bi-weekly sessions for a minimum of 8 weeks. This supports continuity, accountability, and allows enough time for the work to unfold and for new patterns to begin taking root.

    There is no requirement to pay upfront or pre-book sessions in advance. The commitment is relational and honour system based. After 8 weeks, we can revisit pacing and frequency together.

  • I do not offer session packages. My rate is $120/session in-person, or $110/session online. If finances are a barrier, I do offer financial assistance, and hold a limited number of client spots for this type of support. Please reach out to me directly to inquire ayesha@embodimentwithayesha.com

  • I understand that life happens and plans sometimes need to shift. I ask for 24 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Sessions missed without adequate notice will incur a $50 fee.

    There is a grace period of 15mins for arrival after your scheduled appointment time. If arriving later than 15mins, it will be considered a missed session and incur the cancellation fee.
