Healing is an art
and begins in your body
Trauma-aware, body-first care for those seeking real healing.
Somatic Healing for Trauma, Anxiety, Stress and PTSD
Do you long for a deeper connection to your body?
You might have tried to understand it.
You might have talked it through.
You might even know why you feel the way you do.
And still… something doesn’t shift.
— your body is holding what words alone can’t reach.
​Sometimes the missing piece is not more understanding —
but learning how to be with your body’s somatic expression.
Your body may be holding more than it has space for.
Many people find that even after months or years of talk-based therapy, the 'felt sense' becomes important.
Somatic practices like Trauma-Sensitive Yoga Therapy and TRE® help your nervous system regulate, release tension, and rediscover calm.
​​
These evidence-informed, natural methods work by involving the body directly in the healing process. They support emotional integration, reduce chronic tension, and restore the sense of safety and connection needed for lasting change.
Why somatic work?
For many people, talk-based therapies are most effective when combined with body-based approaches
Not sure where to begin?

Body anxious and hard to rest?
Begin with tremoring and rest
Feeling overwhelmed and in pain?

I’m Kendra, a trauma-informed Yoga Therapist and somatic practitioner in Canberra.
My work bridges ancient yogic wisdom and modern trauma science — helping you feel at home in your body again.
​
Many people who visit me have tried therapy, mindfulness, or yoga but still feel disconnected — not because they’ve failed, but because most healing starts in the body instead of the mind.
At Kendra Healing Arts, healing begins within - restoring your nervous system and building inner stability.
Together, we find where to start — whether that’s gentle Yoga Therapy, the amazing TRE®, or Somatic Massage — based on what feels safest and most supportive for you.
