somatic ifs therapy for Postpartum Depression
Reconnect with parts of you that feel lost.
In our work together, we’ll gently explore the parts of you that feel weighed down, disconnected, or lost. Using a somatic-IFS-informed approach, we’ll invite your body into the healing process—help you tune into physical sensations, release stuck emotions, and restore a sense of aliveness.
Instead of pushing symptoms away, we’ll get curious about what they’re trying to tell you, and build compassionate relationships with the parts of you that have been carrying pain. Over time, you will reconnect with your inner Self—the calm, steady presence within you—and begin to move through life with greater clarity, energy, and ease.
