Emily Rogers - Trauma-Informed Somatic Counsellor & Embodiment Practitioner
I help you return to the wisdom of your body - through nervous system regulation, somatic therapy and embodied presence.
About Me
I'm Emily - a trauma-informed somatic counsellor, embodiment guide, and space-holder for those ready to return to the wisdom of their bodies.
I support people who feel disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by the pace of life, or unsure how to come down from survival mode. My work is grounded in the belief that healing doesn't happen by talking alone, it happens when we learn to feel safe inside our own skin again and have room to meet the parts of us that we have long ignored.
I began this work through necessity, after my own experience of grief and early loss. I learned to get through life by dissociating and pushing down feelings, not knowing there was another way to live. For years, I lived from the neck up, until I could no longer ignore the what was going on within my body.
Through somatic therapy, conscious movement, and trauma-informed practice, I found a way back to myself. Not through force, but through slowness. After trying to heal through yoga, talk therapy and energy practices, having space held for me to listen to the parts I had shoved down, was the missing piece in my journey.
I've trained in somatic counselling, yoga and embodied meditation. I truly believe that the power lives inside of you and I simply guide you back to it. Trying my best to provide a grounded, compassionate way of holding space for you.
Whatever you are experiencing, from anxiety, numbness, grief, or the quiet knowing that something needs to shift, you are welcome here.
If this speaks to something you've been carrying, I'd love to meet you in a free consultation.
Understanding Somatic Therapy
​
Somatic therapy is a body-based approach to healing.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, which works primarily through the mind, somatic counselling invites you to gently reconnect with the wisdom of your body.
When we experience trauma, stress, or long-term emotional overwhelm, our nervous system adapts to help us survive - often by shutting down certain sensations, emotions, or instincts. We feel anxious without knowing why, stuck in old patterns, disconnected from ourselves, or numb to what we truly need.
Somatic therapy works by helping you slowly build safety inside your body - through breath, awareness, gentle movement, and supported emotional exploration.
In our sessions, we might explore:
-
How emotion or tension lives in your body
-
Learning how to slow down and feel your emotions, bringing presence and curiosity to any sensations, stories or memories that arise
-
How to come back into your body safely, at your own pace
-
How your nervous system reacts - and how to regulate it
-
How to listen to your inner signals without judgment
This approach is gentle, trauma-informed, and attuned to your personal pace. You will never be pushed to share more than you're ready for, or forced to revisit past pain before your body is willing.
Somatic therapy doesn't offer quick fixes. But it does offer something deeper: the slow return to wholeness - not by changing who you are, but by coming home to yourself.
If you've tried talk therapy but still feel disconnected, somatic therapy might offer the deeper kind of support your system is asking for.
*Sessions & Pricing
Sessions are held online.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and is a space for you to reconnect to your body, through gentle observation of what is happening beneath the surface.
You don't need to arrive with a clear story, you only need to arrive as you are with an element of curiosity. From there, we begin to listen together.
*Session fee: $180
I offer one sliding scale place at a reduced rate for those with financial need. If this feels supportive to you, please mention it when you reach out.
*Booking
If you're curious about working together, I offer a free 20-minute consultation to see if the space feels right for you.
You are welcome to bring your questions, hesitations or anything you're carrying.
