This exercise comes from the Qigong practice. It includes mindful gentle ryhthmic flow that gives the body and brain permission to synch up and slow down.
At first clients can feel a little uncomfortable-like what/why the heck am I doing this?! But after the first full rotation they tend to start to notice a sense of ease and settle. They get curious about that and keep going with it to explore more.

We learn the embodied experience of self regulation through mirror neurons in the brain and somatic implicit memory (aka how it feels in the body). These are some simple tips for when intentionally engaging in co-regulation between caregiver and child.

**This workshop is for one caregiver/one child at a time. If you have multiple children you hope to attend this workshop with please register for the next session coming in the fall.

Article reference: Kotler S, Mannino M, Fox G and Friston K (2026) The body does not keep the score: trauma, predictive coding, and the restoration of metastability. Front. Syst. Neurosci. 20:1812957.

Somatic oriented therapy is a resource rich approach to supporting the nervous system and body for healing. The impact of chronic stress on the bodies immune system and nervous system is well researched and should not be left out of the healing process. Likewise, the brains sophisticated capacity for predictive coding and reconsolidation must be considered and facilitated. Together, stored trauma is set on a healing journey!

This is why at SOMA Therapy & Wellness we are trained in a multitude of experiential bottom-up modalities that incorporate supporting the nervous system and updating the brain.
Examples include:
EMDR
Brainspotting
Gestalt work
Coherence Therapy
Parts & Memory Therapy
IFS
And Somatic Experiencing
