Does life feel overwhelming?
With somatic support, we can create new neural pathways that allow for less stress and more ease. We gain more availability to learn, relate, and heal. With more regulation, we have more capacity for all of life.
If you are experiencing:
- Chronic stress
- Not feeling at home in your body
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Fatigue
- Chronic illness
- Chronic pain
- Problems in relationships
- Isolation
If you feel that:
- Life is overwhelming
- Everything takes so much effort
- You have to control things, or you have no sense of control
- You have to do it all by yourself
Somatic support can help
Transforming Touch® is a proven approach with roots in polyvagal theory and Somatic Experiencing® that is designed to heal the nervous system in a gentle and supportive way. As we gain more capacity, we experience more resilience to stress and an improved vitality and capacity to engage in life.
Introducing the Somatic Circle
A guided online group experience designed to support and nurture your nervous system
Live Online 8-week Small group program with Annie Bloom, PhD, SEP
In this group, we will foster a non-judgmental and nurturing space where we can share our vulnerabilities and meet them with compassion and understanding.
During the Somatic Support Sessions, we’ll work with specific areas of the body involved in the nervous system’s stress response, such as the adrenal glands and brainstem. By bringing intention to these areas of the body, the nervous system is able to gradually soften, allowing both body and mind to experience a more restful and regulated state.
Over time, our systems can begin to re-organize and re-pattern the early experiences that affected our physical, social, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual wellness.
Our bodies and nervous systems heal when we spend more time in safety and less time in survival mode. Our bodies already know how to heal.
We are wired for connection. We heal in community.
There’s power in healing together.
Annie is a highly skilled practitioner who brings her warmth, compassion, presence, and expertise to the healing space. In the Somatic Circle, she uses Transforming Touch®, a powerful way of healing and building resilience for those affected by nervous system dysregulation, chronic stress, and developmental trauma. I highly recommend this offering to anyone wanting to experience more ease in life.
Imagine if you could
Feel more present with yourself
Be more resilient to stress
Feel more embodied
Experience more ease
Connect more with others
Improve your wellbeing
How the Somatic Circle works
As a small group, we’ll gather on Zoom once a week for 8 weeks.
Before we begin
I’ll meet with you individually for Intention Setting. Then we’ll come together as a group for introductions and preparation for our Somatic Support Sessions.
During our sessions
You’ll be guided through 45 minutes of using our intention to support specific areas of the body involved in the nervous system’s stress response, such as the adrenal glands and brain stem. By bringing consistent intentional support to these areas of the body, the nervous system is able to gradually soften, allowing both body and mind to experience a more restful and regulated state. This will feel a bit like a guided meditation. You’re welcome to be as comfortable as possible, seated in a chair or lying down on a sofa or the floor.
We’ll conclude with a few moments of silence to let this experience settle and integrate in a way that supports your body, nervous system, and healing process. Then at the beginning of the following session, you will be invited to share any personal discoveries, insights, or experiences that you noticed during our time together and in between sessions. You may always share as much or as little as you’d like during this time.
Final Session
We will conclude with a Group Integration, where you’ll be invited to share as much or as little about your journey as you’d like. This is also a time for questions and discussion about relevant topics.
As our Circle closes, you’re welcome to schedule more individual sessions with me or join another Somatic Circle group.

Meet your guide
Hi there. I’m Annie.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and certified Transforming Touch® Practitioner specializing in developmental trauma and attachment.
And I’m a complete nervous system nerd–passionate about helping folks gain more capacity and regulation so they can navigate life with more ease.
I’m offering Somatic Circle groups as a supportive and accepting place where we can collectively nurture our nervous systems and build resilience.
I hope you will join me.
What people say about working with me
Annie’s skillful and compassionate guidance has given me the courage to hope again by reminding me that healing from trauma is possible.
Years of talk therapy never really got me anywhere. Now with Annie’s somatic support, I feel like I’ve finally found the missing link for healing my trauma and being better able to move through life with more regulation.
Annie has a remarkable ability to create a safe and nurturing environment where my nervous system can finally settle. With each session I feel evidence that I am healing.
