A body-led approach to safety, healing, and lasting change
Somatic therapy is a gentle, body-based approach that helps you reconnect with physical sensation, regulate your nervous system, and release long-held patterns of stress, pain, or protection - without force and without reliving the past.
At Move With Eze, somatic therapy is combined with NeuroAffective Touch, trauma-informed bodywork, movement, and nervous system regulation to support people who feel stuck, tense, disconnected, or overwhelmed in their bodies.
This is not talk therapy.
And it’s not a standard massage.
It’s a way of helping your body feel safe enough to change.
What Is Somatic Therapy?
Somatic therapy works with the body’s sensations, movements, and nervous system responses, rather than focusing only on thoughts or symptoms.
Over time, stress, pain, injury, illness, or overwhelm can teach the body to hold patterns of protection, such as:
tension
bracing
numbness
collapse
shallow breathing
chronic or recurring pain
Somatic therapy helps you gently notice these patterns and build safety, awareness, and choice, so your nervous system can begin to reorganise in its own time.
Change happens from the inside out.
What Is NeuroAffective Touch?
NeuroAffective Touch (NATouch) is a trauma-informed, nervous-system-led touch approach that supports healing through safety, attunement, and presence, rather than pressure or force.
It’s especially helpful if:
touch has felt overwhelming in the past
your body holds deep or early patterns of protection
pain is linked to stress or emotional load
you feel disconnected from sensation
traditional bodywork hasn’t worked
NeuroAffective Touch offers the body a new experience of safe, regulated contact, allowing long-held patterns to soften naturally over time - without needing to push or override your system.
How Sessions Work at Move With Eze
Sessions are guided by your nervous system and your capacity on the day.
A session may include:
gentle, attuned hands-on touch (NeuroAffective Touch)
somatic awareness and tracking
breath and orienting practices
slow, supported movement
building agency and choice
integrating physical and emotional release
nervous system regulation
You are always in control.
Nothing is forced.
Nothing is rushed.
Why This Approach Creates Lasting Change
When the nervous system feels safe:
muscles release naturally
pain signals reduce
breathing deepens
movement becomes easier
emotions feel less overwhelming
recovery improves
the body stops bracing against life
This is why somatic therapy combined with NeuroAffective Touch is often effective when other treatments haven’t been - it works with your system, not against it.
Who This Work Is For
This approach is especially supportive if you:
live with chronic or recurring pain
feel tense, guarded, or disconnected from your body
are burned out or overwhelmed
have had injury, surgery, illness, or medical trauma
are sensitive to intense touch
find talking alone doesn’t shift things
want a gentle but deep approach to healing
You don’t need to know how to relax.
You don’t need to explain everything.
Your body already knows where to begin.
Trauma-Informed, Nervous-System-Led Care
All sessions at Move With Eze are trauma-informed, meaning:
your boundaries are respected
you have choice at every stage
sessions are carefully paced
safety comes before intensity
your system leads the work
This approach supports healing without overwhelm or re-traumatisation.
