Working with Roxy through somatic bodywork has had a profound impact on my ability to regulate my nervous system and reconnect with a deeper sense of safety in my body. Before these sessions, I carried a high level of sympathetic activation—especially in work environments where I felt overwhelmed or under pressure. I often experienced chronic tension (especially in my hips and sacral area), difficulty resting, and a constant need to stay hyper-aware and ‘hold it all together.’

Since starting this work, I’ve noticed meaningful changes in how I experience and respond to stress:

I’m able to notice and name sensations without bracing or dissociating.

I’ve started interrupting old patterns of over-efforting or hypervigilance.

I’m learning to recognize internal safety cues, like warmth, breath, or grounded feet.

I’ve begun to reclaim my boundaries, both physically and emotionally—especially when I feel

activation in my core.

What’s been most transformative is that I’m no longer just thinking about self-care—I’m actually feeling permission in my body to rest, pause, and receive. My sleep has improved. I feel more centered. And I can now access presence without being on high alert.

This work has truly helped me understand that regulation isn’t about “calming down.” It’s about coming home to myself.

After our somatic session, my body continued gently unwinding on its own while I rested. I felt calm, safe, and deeply relaxed; like subtle waves moving through my central channel. It was a beautiful reminder that when the nervous system feels supported, the body naturally knows how to release and reorganize.
