https://www.somahealingcollective.com... Dr. Somer Nicole started as a Doctor of Physical Therapy obsessed with getting to the root of people’s pain. When she realized the psychosomatic and nervous system components were missing from her western science education, she spent over 17 years filling in the gaps, which led her to trauma resolution work to address the root cause of people’s pain and nervous system dysregulation. The overarching umbrella of all her work is regulating and strengthening the nervous system because we have to be regulated for every system of the body to heal. Dr. Somer created her own body of work, the Somatic Reparenting MethodTM, where she integrates Kundalini Yoga, Somatic Therapy, Inner Child Work, Energy Medicine and the many modalities she’s studied to update the wounded inner child and rewire the nervous system.
