Somatic Trauma Recovery Bodywork in Suwanee, GA and the Atlanta Area and Online
Restoring balance to the nervous system, body, and subtle energy field.
Somatic Trauma Recovery Bodywork
Did you know that chronic tension, emotional stress, and energetic imbalance often share the same root cause—a dysregulated nervous system?
Have you heard that “the body keeps the score”?
Did you know that experiences like surgery, accidents, emotional overwhelm, chronic stress, or even subtle neglect can cause the nervous system to get stuck in survival patterns—like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn? This is the body’s natural response to trauma, and it can stay imprinted long after the event has passed.
Trauma isn’t rare—it’s part of the human experience. The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) study revealed just how common trauma is in both children and adults. And yet, healing is possible—especially when we work with the body, not just the mind.
Somatic Trauma Recovery Bodywork is a gentle, deeply supportive session that helps create safety in the nervous system, release stored tension, and restore a felt sense of calm, connection, and trust in the body.
This session combines trauma-informed touch (or no touch if that is what is needed), breath, movement and mindful presence to support the body’s natural healing intelligence. Clients often report feeling more grounded, emotionally regulated, and at home in themselves.

Energy Balancing and Somatic Trauma Recovery
Life experiences—whether acute or ongoing—can leave the body’s energy systems depleted and the nervous system stuck in survival modes like fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. This session is designed to help you reconnect, rebalance, and gently release what’s been held in the body-mind-spirit system.
Using a blend of therapeutic massage, somatic trauma recovery, and energy-based healing, these sessions create a compassionate, grounded space for your body to unwind and come back into balance. You can remain fully clothed or if you would like massage blended into your session, you can undress to your level of comfort, and receive hands-on work (or no touch if that is what you need) as well as guidance on how to listen to what your body is communicating.

Alchemical Alignment
Alchemical Alignment® is a trauma-sensitive, soul-informed modality bringing depth and sacred presence to the session. Rooted in Somatic Experiencing®, biodynamic craniosacral work, and subtle body energy medicine, Alchemical Alignment® helps the body and energy system release trauma while also inviting deeper embodiment of your true self.
With this approach, we work not only with physical trauma patterns, but also ancestral imprints, soul disconnection, and energetic fragmentation. You may experience gentle sensations of warmth, tingling, release, or expansion—as your system comes into greater harmony.
Amy has completed Alchemical Alignment® Foundation Classes three times, each time deepening her embodied trauma recovery practice, as well as completing the Alchemical Alignment® Advanced Birth and Death Classes.
Other Modalities
In addition, Amy has received multiple advanced energy-based trainings in balancing the Hara energy system to support her trauma recovery practice as the Hara system is where deeper stressors and traumas, including ancestral, can be stored. Amy received Somatic Attachment training with The Embody Lab and Heal the Child Within Training which included breathwork practices for nervous system regulation with Noah Rothschild, LMFT, as well as intro training in Esalen® Massage.
What to Expect
Every session is unique and guided by your body’s needs. At the beginning, we’ll discuss your goals—whether they’re physical, emotional, spiritual, or energetic. Amy will tailor the session and may use a blend of techniques including:
- Energy balancing (Healing Touch™, Alchemical Alignment®, chakra work, energy bodies & hara alignment)
- Trauma-informed massage and guided somatic presence
- Nervous system reset practices
- Embodiment coaching and subtle listening to physical sensations
- Deep relaxation to support healing at every level
This work reaches into the fascia, bones, muscles, nerves, organs, and beyond—allowing long-held patterns to shift, gently and safely. Many clients describe feeling more whole, calm, and present after just one session.
Amy’s experience is that the truth is in the tissues and she finds, after a client’s body chooses to experience potent energy shifts, a magical sense of completion and integration is possible with attuned and soothing massage towards the end of a session. This appears to be a potent combination allowing for a sense of mind, body, spirit wholeness that is grounded in the tissues of the body.
