Somatic Healing for Trauma and Nervous System
I’m so excited! I finally signed up with The Workout Witch for her somatic healing programs, and now you can get 10% off any course with the code SASSYHOLISTICS on her site here.
I have been doing her 3 course “Heal the Nervous System” bundle this year and it’s changed my life.
As someone with lifelong (and massive generational) trauma that also went through severe mold illness, my body was WRECKED. I spent a few years unable to tolerate all the amazing healing items that I always recommend in here, and it wasn’t until I learned about the nervous system and somatics that I finally was able to shift.
Not everyone will have this severe of an issue like I did, BUT the nervous system is the biggest key in healing, period! It’s not always about taking supplements or herbs- it’s about retraining the body to feel safe so that it can function again. Once it feels safer, then everything else can start healing- gut, hormones, adrenals, and everything else.
If you are super stuck in your healing journey, if you know you have nervous system issues (from mold, trauma, stress, injuries, etc), if you cannot lose weight no matter what you do- this is likely a big missing link!
I started this course in January, and all year I have been dealing with a ton of emotional and physical healings. Lots of old traumas came up to be dealt with. Lots of words I had to say out loud to allow my body to move on. Lots of crying and shaking to release stored energy. Now, all of the weight I gained in the mold is almost gone. My sleep is improved (not perfect as this is a big one for me, but better!).
I can now tolerate all my herbs and foods again, which will make healing a bit faster now since I can get the full support my body needs. I even broke the biggest trauma cycles in my life, and finally got into a house- your nervous system shapes your reality. When it is stressed, it can keep you in familiar territory, which means it will keep you attracting or even craving stress and chaos!
That turned into a novel, sorry! I’m just truly excited. We’ve all been recommending somatic healing more this year for clients, and so many are seeing similar results when they are using it in tandem with our HTMA recommendations. It’s a perfect example of combining mind/body healing!

What is Somatic Healing?
Somatic healing is currently trending BIG TIME and with good reason. This form of healing truly connects the mind-body and helps with healing the disconnection between these aspects of our health. Somatic healing uses very gentle and repetitive exercises to help with regulating your nervous system. This type of healing is a huge helper for those that are in OVERWHELM. If everything feels like it’s too much, if you react harshly to many foods or herbs, if you feel like you’ve tried “everything” but can’t seem to tolerate any of it then this is likely the type of healing you are missing.
I love The Workout Witch as her courses are very affordable and her approach is amazing. We store a lot of trauma in our hips, so one of the biggest things she speaks about is opening the hips up to release tension and trauma. She offers a great bundle for those with whole-body tension: for Hips, Jaw, and Shoulders. These exercises are seriously SO easy and you can do most of them laying in bed. Don’t let the word “workout” trip you because it’s not an intensive 2 hour long cardio course. It’s a simple and incredibly profound way to move your body so that your nervous system can finally learn to shut off.
The body is a whole and we must treat it as such! I have my Bachelor of Science in Natural Health Sciences, certificates in Herbal Studies from Herbal Academy, and I am constantly learning more about health to help my clients and followers.
My goal is to help you unleash your own inner healer! You already hold the power to heal inside you. My role is as a guide to help you realize this potential.
I won’t be ordering anything or taking any advice from a site that supports witchcraft.
If you check out her site, you will see that she is not a “witch”. You can read all about her programs there and see how many people are being helped thanks to her programs. “Workout Witch” is just a name. I think she liked the alliteration 🙂
How does this compare to limbic retraining programs? The somatic exercises seem more appealing. But I’ve tried a bunch of limbic retraining and not a fan.
I have not personally tried limbic retraining so I can’t fully compare the 2. From what I’ve heard from clients that have done things like DNRS, that can be a bit more restrictive and not as intuitive especially if you are made to follow it for a full hour a day (from what I’ve been told). The somatic exercises are just 5-20 minutes per day depending on the topic of that day, and you can follow your body more easily. Most people that I have come across need a full plan to get the benefits of everything- nutritional support, herbal remedies, and then the emotional healing modality.
Would you say this is similar to TRE-Trauma Releasing Exercises?
I’m not familiar with that but it sounds similar.
Thank you. I purchased her course and started today. Hopeful!
I hope it works out for you! It can make such a big difference in the healing journey.
I’ve purchased this course too and it’s great.
I’m so glad you like it. It really is so helpful for those that need it!
