SOMA ZEN 𖦹 Somatic Therapy with Emma T

04/09/2026

A big part of the rebrand is exploring ourselves through creative expression. ✨

Creativity can be a powerful pathway back to the SELF because sometimes, we simply don’t have the words.

Some experiences are pre-verbal, held in the body as sensations, emotions, impulses and energy.

The nervous system doesn’t understand words. The body speaks through sensation.

Colour. Shape. Movement. Texture. Expression.

Somatic Art is a guided, body-led practice for embodiment, expression and self-reflection.

Rather than creating something “perfect” or following instructions, we gently shift our attention from the thinking mind into the body allowing whatever wants to move, emerge or be expressed.

There is no right or wrong.
No artistic ability needed.
No pressure to explain.

Just space to feel, explore and release the perfectionist part of us that wants to get it “right”.

And in doing so, we can create more flexibility within the nervous system moving beyond simply surviving and creating more space to feel alive. 🌿

When I’ve done this with clients in the past, it’s interesting to see the hesitation & blocks that show up in exploring this work. It can certainly reach spaces where retelling the story can’t.

Somatic Art will become part of the creative, body-led work I offer in the new year, both 1:1 and in groups.

A space to explore your inner world through expression rather than explanation.

For now, here’s a piece I’m working with to explore and process my own relationship with arthritis (pic in the comments). 🎨

This week I hiked in the North York Moors to a cliff face 1,049km high. 🏔️ I nearly gave up twice but I grounded, took my time & I did it! 🥳

Might not be a lot to some but for someone who had a baby 3 months ago via c section, no core navigating health challenges - asthma, underactive thyroid & palindromic rheumatism (rare form of arthritis), I’m proud of me 🙌🏻

In fact, I’m so f****ing proud of me. 🥹🔥

Anxiety comes online to keep us safe. When we welcome in fear rather than changing or ignoring it, we grow ✨

So… what are you celebrating about YOU this week? Big or small. It all counts. 🧡

And if nobody has told you recently:

You are an amazing human being & I’m so proud of you. 🫶🏼

I spent my life building my toolkit. As soon as I felt triggered, I would instantly do my grounding and felt back in the drivers seat despite an overhang of dissonance.

I felt such rage when that activation came back. The suicidal thoughts. Grew stronger and stronger.

Why wasn’t this working? Why wouldn’t it be fixed yet? I’m doing all the right things!!!

Is there any surprise why?

The truth is… I thought I was healing but I was suppressing and staying within the comfort zone of toxic positivity.

Now there is a growing societal conditioning to stay constantly regulated doing ‘5 minute resets’ that it is causing impossible realistic expectations leading to internalised failure & sold on the injustice to what it means to be human.

So that long list of tools you built

The experiences you’ve had

At some point, it’s time to say goodbye to the attachment you hold on it.

Because at what point do we allow ourselves to live in our humanness?

Being human is about reconnection with joy, play, mistake, desire, intimacy and aliveness.

We absolutely need tools. We start there but the goal isn’t calm. It’s the bridge.

So next time you feel triggered…

Don’t push it down with a box breath.

Logical reasoning won’t touch it

Bring a hand where you feel it and thank it for being there. What is the message?

Listen to your inner truth not what you think you should do.

Because you might actually need to scream, swear or dance with it

I can’t stop thinking about Hayden’s passing this week. Probably because watching her interviews brings it all back for me. Postpartum depression is a very real thing. It’s not just strong baby blues…

…It’s complete disconnection to your baby and everything / everyone around you. It’s finding strength to play with your baby because you know you should but all you feel is emptiness. Joy has been stolen and you can’t access it because the trauma of the birth is replay inside of you every single day. It’s the intense rage when they cry. It’s wanting to throw them out a window when they have caused incredible sleep deprivation. It’s the shame you carry for not loving your baby like the world promised you would. It’s waking up every day feeling suicidal and not being able to change it so you numb to escape.

& that numbing is the cycle that feels impossible to break. You either break it or it breaks you eventually 💔

👉🏼1 in 10 experience PPD and that’s only those who have reported it so I believe this to be much higher especially with 1 in 3 births considered traumatic.

🙏🏼This isn’t to scare… this is truth and information to a much needed conversation that we need to create a better place for postpartum support

Things such as…
✨To be informed of all possibilities that could happen during labour instead of purely focusing on positive affirmations & the perfect birth.

✨We need to stop romanticising the ‘strong mother’ or ‘insta perfect’, this type of pressure can be detrimental.

✨We need postpartum support workers just like PAs to create a bespoke support plan & help with things like housework because many of us can’t just wing it and don’t have family to do these things for us

✨We need schools to start teaching young girls the power of their menstrual cycle, each stage of their cycle & the hormones that come with to release shame, masking and feeling ‘too much’. The ‘good girl’ conditioning must stop.

✨ And when the pain we’ve carried for years has never truly been felt, processed or supported, the transitions of peri-menopause and meno can bring everything we’ve been holding beneath the surface into a whole new level of uncontrollable awareness.

My list is endless but you get the idea…

❤️‍🔥As a birth trauma PTSD advocate and somatic practitioner for women’s wellbeing, it’s my life’s mission to raise awareness, create change and held spaces for women to feel safe and be seen in their truth.

The truth is… anyone with PPD or any postpartum mental health concern would do ANYTHING to feel joy with their baby & connection to their journey.

Whatever battle you are fighting as a woman, please know you are so not alone in this. 💛

I’ve had several enquiries about 1:1 sessions & I’m currently planning to return in January. I’m navigating postpartum life alongside some new health diagnoses at the moment, so I’m taking things one step at a time and fingers crossed everything settles soon. 🙏🏼

If my work resonates with you and you’re curious about working together 1:1, please feel free to get in touch. I’m currently available most days for a free consultation call, where we can chat about what you’re experiencing, what you’re looking for, and whether working together feels like the right fit. 🤍

My waiting list is already nearly full, so I’d recommend getting in touch and joining the list asap. 🤍

Over the next few weeks, I’ll also be sharing more about the magic behind this work and my signature treatment, Somatic Rewiring ✨

I’m very eager to get back to doing what I love, so don’t worry. I’ll be back as soon as I’m able. 😋
