Inspiring a safer space for embodied healing
“You hold the power for healing, and it’s my intention to help you create a life that embodies it through a somatic experience.”
— Djinane AlSuwayeh
“Somatic”— relating to the body,
“Sōma” — the living body in its wholeness experienced from within.
The Cercle’s Method
Focused on integrating body and mind through somatic-centered therapies and expressive arts for trauma recovery, this psychobiological approach enhances human function using mindfulness and movement. Emphasizing awareness through practice using therapeutic modalities that prioritize exploration over aesthetics supports overall wellbeing.
Grounded in a polyvagal trauma-informed framework the Cercle holds a safer container for individuals to feel and express their wounded and immobilized energy by fostering stabilization, safety and nervous system balance first, through strength-based, resilient-based and process-led practices.
This work encourages the embodiment of emotions, exploration of sensations, creation of more space and capacity, and the fostering of connection and authenticity. An inner experience is guided to reconnect with the felt sense of joy and aliveness.

INTEGRATIVE SOMATIC THERAPY
One of the most effective pathways towards awareness is through feeling a deeper sense of and connection with the bodymind. The biggest calamity to trauma and stress is that we loose connection to self and then become desensitized. Through a somatic approach we recognize that everyone is already whole, and that we engage with others and the world through sensations and movement. As stress and trauma is something experienced and expressed through the body, this work supports the completion of unprocessed thoughts, feelings, and memories by using body-based trauma recovery therapies to release the stored tension that’s negatively affecting your physical and emotional well-being.
“When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bounds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction and you find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be.”
— PATANJALI, THE YOGA SUTRAS

FINDING CALM WITHIN THE STORM
Anxiety and disassociation often move energy up your body and away from the legs. When we are not grounded, we cannot feel safe, secure, or relaxed. Getting grounded helps you feel calm and access your breath. This recorded guided meditation invites you to connect to whatever feels solid, supportive and good for you.
