PTSD Trauma-Informed Bodywork
Personalized, hands-on bodywork for reconnecting with your body, breath, and nervous system after a traumatic or deeply distressing event.
Your body has been with you through everything.
After a traumatic event, you may feel tense, guarded, unsettled, exhausted, disconnected—or simply unlike yourself.
Trauma can affect how we move, breathe, sleep, connect, and experience safety in our bodies. How you feel in your body influences how you experience your life.
This specialized 10-session journey with somatic psychotherapist Amanda Snow bridges therapeutic bodywork and somatic psychotherapy, creating space to address both the physical patterns and emotional impact of trauma.
Rather than simply talking about what happened, we gently explore what your body is experiencing now:
- Where are you holding tension, bracing, or protection?
- What sensations arise when you feel stressed or unsafe?
- What physical limitations or changes have emerged since the event?
- What thoughts, beliefs, or emotional patterns may be keeping you stuck?
Why 10 Sessions?
Trauma recovery is a process, not a one-time appointment.
Ten sessions allow us to move beyond temporary relief and begin working with the deeper patterns that may have developed after a traumatic event—at a pace that respects your body.
You don’t have to live forever in the body that trauma left behind. You can develop a new relationship with it.

I just want to say thank you for the wonderful work we have been doing together in recent months as I have gone through some challenging times in my life. Your work is a brilliant combination of emotional and mental insight along with healing massage. I come away from our sessions not only feeling relaxed but also lighter and at peace with myself. When I walk into a session, I feel like I have stepped into a safe place with a safe, experienced, and compassionate practitioner and I know that I will walk away with a fresh attitude and a relaxed body. Your work reflects the integration of all the skill areas that you have trained and worked in over many years, including psychology, trauma, and massage therapy. Thank you for being such an important part of my healing journey.
