Let Go of Tension, Feel More Yourself
If you often feel tight in your back, shoulders, or neck — especially on busy or stressful days — you’re not alone. Many people carry tension without realising it. Long hours at a desk, rushing between tasks, or worrying about how you come across can quietly build strain in your body.
When anxiety or self-doubt arises, your body reacts automatically: shoulders lift, breath becomes shallow, and your chest tightens. Over time, these reactions become habits, subtly shaping how you feel day to day.
Somatic support helps you notice these patterns and gently release them. You won’t be asked to “fix” your posture or sit perfectly — instead, we explore how your body responds in everyday moments and create more space for ease, clarity, and steadiness.
How this work can help you:
Many of us carry tension in our neck, shoulders, and back without realising it, especially when stressed, overthinking, or trying to hold things together. You might notice your jaw tightening, shoulders creeping up, or a heaviness across your back.
Somatic sessions help you gently notice these patterns and release the tension. There’s no forcing or stretching — just slowing down, paying attention, and letting your body soften in its own time.
As your muscles stop working overtime, your body feels lighter and more supported. Physical ease often brings something just as important: a quieter mind and a steadier sense of self.
You can also explore more about Confidence and Self-Trust and how body awareness supports inner steadiness.
Trying to “fix” posture by forcing yourself upright can create more tension, not less. Real support comes from learning how your body naturally aligns when it isn’t fighting against stress or old habits.
Together, we explore small, subtle shifts that let your head, spine, and body work together with less effort. Over time, uprightness becomes something your body allows, not something you constantly correct. It feels lighter, softer, and far more sustainable, even on busy days.
Many habits that make your body feel tight — slumping, gripping your shoulders, or bracing during stress — aren’t chosen on purpose. They develop automatically as your body learns to protect you.
In sessions, we slow things down so you can notice these patterns. With awareness, it becomes easier to pause before slipping back into them. Gradually, your body lets go of strain and builds new patterns that feel steadier, calmer, and more supportive.
Automatic tension can make even simple tasks feel exhausting. Somatic support offers a gentle way to soften these reactions. By paying attention to your body, you create small openings for ease.
Over time, your posture feels more supported, your movements lighter, and your body less burdened by tension. These changes come from awareness, not effort — small, kind shifts that build gradually and sustainably.
This approach gives you practical tools to use throughout your day, especially in stressful or overwhelming moments. It’s a way to support you and you may also find it helpful to learn about Cognitive Tools to work with thoughts that add tension or self-doubt.
Start Your Journey Toward More Ease:
If your body often feels tight or “on alert” — especially in your back, neck, or shoulders — you’re not alone. Many people carry tension without noticing, particularly when the mind is busy or life feels fast-paced.
Somatic support offers a simple way to reconnect with yourself. By slowing down and noticing your body’s signals, you can begin to release unnecessary tension and feel more supported from the inside out.
This isn’t about forcing or fixing. It’s about creating space for your body and mind to settle, soften, and find ease.
If this feels like the right next step, you’re welcome to book a session in North West London and start gently reconnecting with yourself.
