Somatic support.

Compassionate connection.

Embodied healing.

Our body holds the record of our lived experience. When we are out of sync with the language of the body, we may suffer and struggle with emotional, physical, and relationship difficulties. Learning to connect to the body can lead to deep healing and fuller living.

Introduction

Welcome. I’m here to guide you on your somatic journey towards knowing and being your whole self.

The impacts of trauma on our lives are complex and vast. Perhaps it is chronic pain, GI issues, or an autoimmune disorder. It could be difficulty in relationships, both with ourself and to others. Sometimes we are exhausted, fatigued, and without motivation to do the most basic tasks. Sometimes we are so wound up we don’t know how to slow down or relax, with constant thoughts and a sense of urgency. These are some of the many ways our body is communicating to us. Through somatic therapy and embodiment coaching, guided by an attuned caring person, we can learn to listen, to tend, and to heal.

“Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness.”
— Peter A. Levine
“There’s a way out of this mess, and it requires each of us to begin with our own body. You and your body are important parts of the solution...Your body – all of our bodies – are where changing the status quo must begin.”
— Resmaa Menakem

JANA LEHMAN, LCPC, LAC, SEP

I’m a Somatic Psychotherapist and I offer body-based trauma healing including nervous system regulation and embodiment support. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal, grow, change, and live a life of purpose and meaning. My hope is to help people reconnect to their body as part of the healing process, shifting towards ways to thrive rather than just survive their experience. I believe when we connect and listen to our body, we can tap into deep wisdom, guidance, and wholeness.

  • I love supporting Somatic Experiencing® students! I am approved to offer personal sessions for credit for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students.

  • Although I am a licensed therapist, this offering is not therapy. Somatic Skills coaching is ongoing support through specific goals setting, short online or phone sessions, contact via text/voxer, homework, and practices both together and on your own.
