1:1 Somatic Healing

Personalized support for your nervous system

Sentences I hear from my clients

“I don't know why I react the way I do."

"I'm functioning — but I don't feel truly alive."

"I'm stuck, and I can't find my way out."

"I feel like I've lost control."

"I can't make decisions anymore."

Trauma changes your entire physiology.

The world starts to feel unsafe.

What often remains are reactions like: disorientation, a racing heart, nausea, the urge to fight, flee, or shut down. Unexplainable restlessness. The inability to calm down — or to truly feel joy.

Trauma is more than the event itself, more than the story you can put into words. During an overwhelming experience, the brain's speech center shuts down.

The body stores what words can't reach and that's what shows up as the reactions above.

These are typical symptoms.

  • Anxiety, panic attacks, or depression

  • Burnout

  • Sleep issues or chronic exhaustion

  • Trouble concentrating or dissociation

  • Anger outbursts or emotional numbness

  • Addictive behaviors or overactivity

  • Chronic pain, migraines or fibromyalgia

  • Attachment difficulties or a sense of disconnection

  • Immune system issues

Somatic Experiencing Practitioner Kim Kitschenberg

"Trauma is a fact of life. It does not have to be life-sentence."
- Peter Levine

My work is for people like you

  • who sense something is off, even if they can't quite put a name to it

  • and for those who already have a clear diagnosis

  • who are dealing with acute somatic symptoms

  • who have therapy experience already, but feel like something essential still hasn't landed

  • who have no therapy experience yet, and just know: something needs to change

  • who are looking for a holistic approach — one that works with the body, not just the mind and addresses the effects of a dysregulated, overloaded nervous system

My approach

Kim Kitschenberg Traumatherapie Somatic Experiencing NARM Practitioner Burn Out Prevention SOMA Nervensystemregulation

How I Work With You: body-based, trauma-informed, attuned to you.

Here's something worth remembering:

Your body is always working to keep you alive. As humans, we're naturally wired with the capacity to move through the effects of trauma and chronic stress.

I can't take away your painful experiences. I can't eliminate the stress in your life, either. But here's what I can do:

Work with you, step by step, on your ability to respond to life's inevitable stressors with more ease — instead of getting swept away by them.

You can't avoid the ups and downs of life. Neither can I. But together, we can build the skills to navigate them — and make life feel a little more livable again.

Thanks to the pioneers of this field, we now have methods that have fundamentally changed how we work with trauma and chronic stress. Each one is powerful in its own right.

But here's the truth: no single approach works for every person, or every moment.

That's why I work integratively, combining the strongest elements of Somatic Experiencing, NARM, Gestalt therapy, and Psychological Yoga Therapy, tailored to what your nervous system, body, and psyche actually need.

Somatic Experiencing (SE™) works directly with the nervous system — right where trauma and trapped survival energy are stored. It lays the groundwork for safety and regulation.

Gestalt therapy brings attention into the here and now — to what's alive in you right in this moment.

NARM®, the NeuroAffective Relational Model, goes a layer deeper: how have your past experiences shaped your sense of self and the way you show up in relationships?

Together, these approaches let me meet you exactly where you are. We gently explore the root of the issue, at a pace that doesn't overwhelm your nervous system.

FAQ

  • The work itself can be very subtle — sometimes even quiet. My motto: the smaller the steps, the deeper the healing.

    A session runs 60 minutes.

    At the start of every session, we check in together: What's on your mind today — and what's actually present, right here, right now? Because there's little point diving into the past if you're not regulated in the present moment. Life happens in the now — and that's exactly where we start.

    We work directly with your autonomic nervous system. Together, we tune into body sensations, impulses, emotions, inner images, thoughts, and beliefs. We move mindfully back and forth between activation and resource — slowly thawing frozen energy in the nervous system, and building, step by step, an inner distance from overwhelming experiences. Sometimes your body will want to move or react in ways that are part of the healing process — that's exactly what we want, and it's a good sign. It matters to me that you understand the biology and physiology behind what's happening in your body.

    One core principle in my work: especially heavy topics, you don't have to put it into words. Somatic Experiencing lets us work without needing concrete memories — directly with what the body is carrying.

    Through this process, new body sensations can emerge, past experiences can be re-evaluated, and your stress levels can start to regulate from the inside out.

    I hold the space together with you. You're not doing this alone.

    After a session, you might notice a gentle "after-effect" — your nervous system needs time to integrate and process what came up.

  • Healing isn't a linear process and quick fixes ignore the complexity of what you've been through.

    I can't give you a definitive answer, and it wouldn't be fair to you if I tried. Every person is unique — in their history, their physiology, their pace. How much you're struggling, the depth of what you've experienced, and whether you have other support alongside our work — all of that plays a role.

    What I can promise you: we move in small, safe steps. Not because it has to be slow, but because lasting change takes time and overwhelm is the opposite of healing.

    Between sessions, I recommend a 2–3 day gap so your nervous system has time to process what came up. Therapy doesn't just happen in the hour we spend together — it continues after, too.

    To help you plan financially, I offer packages — so you know what to expect, without having to commit to an undefined timeline from day one.

    If you work with me, I stay by your side for as long as the process takes. That's not just a nice phrase. I mean it

  • Healing doesn't mean the pain disappears. It means it no longer runs the show.

    Our goal is integration: your old wounds might still be felt, but they no longer trap you in the past. It means you can feel joy again, feel connected again, and find meaning in everyday life. Life keeps moving forward — not despite your story, but with it.

  • It's when you can think about — and talk about — what happened without your nervous system going into a stress response. When what happened becomes part of your story, instead of the thing still writing it.

  • Ideally, you come to me before you hit a breaking point. If you notice you're running on autopilot, that your batteries never really recharge, or you catch yourself wondering 'how much longer can I keep this up' — that's your sign it's time.

    You don't have to hit rock bottom to deserve support.

  • With wait times for therapy running so long right now, it can be genuinely hard to get support when you need it. Through online sessions I can work with people simply and no matter where they're based.

    Online sessions might be a good fit for you, if you...

    • are in a stressful situation right now and want support sooner rather than later

    • don't want to wait months for a therapy spot

    • want to understand what's actually behind your symptoms

    • want body-based support, wherever you happen to be
