Connect with the healing power of your body.

Somatic Therapy for adults & Play Therapy for children with Rose Oceania, RSMT

Transformation is possible.

I see it all the time in my studio and vibrant playspace.

I am continually amazed by the bodies' ability to lead us to exactly what we need when we meet a caring safe and awake witness. I listen, follow and invite.

Children teach us about how they feel through their play. I see, reflect, mirror, instigate and join them, all the while following their lead. Their cues of what they need arrive through the magical communication of play and artistic expression.

Somatic therapy  and the expressive arts can provide a supportive map for walking our unique healing journey. If you have reached an impasse with the supports you have been using thus far, it might be time to let your body’s wisdom guide the way.

Body based therapy is a path to your aliveness.

Some healing requires more than talk.

Because we are human, we reflexively push away our emotional pain and body tension. Somatic therapy gently guides us inward to bring acceptance to  the felt experience of ourselves.


Together we build a foundation of safety and kindness for the places inside that may feel abandoned , dismissed , violated and shamed.  Simultaneously we develop a deeper understanding for our survival strategies only to learn these too deserve heart and connection.  

An experienced trauma informed space holder and guide.

Everyone has trauma, the  places inside frozen in time and longing for connection. I listen closely and help you track meet and understand the many voices living in your body  longing to be heard and expressed. We discover together an authentic path to that expression. There is no pushing. This kind of supported attention helps you expand your capacity to hold yourself, your wounds , and open to new possibilities of loving yourself. I myself have navigated and am still navigating the  deeply painful healing process of childhood trauma. I bring my own felt understanding and experience to meet you authentically. I understand the beauty that can be discovered and felt as we move through these tender,  profoundly, vulnerable places. I understand the powerful feeling of our loving adult in the driver’s seat.

Let’s meet.

If you think a body based approach  might be a good next step for you or your child, I offer a no-pressure complimentary consultation to see if it’s a good fit.
