Somatic Movement

Welcome Angie Yetzke to Second Story Counseling

Angie Yetzke, a somatic movement educator and therapist (RSME/T), has joined Second Story Counseling in Hudsonville. Angie provides services for children (infants to teens), adults, couples, and families.

Addressing Early Fears and Life Experiences

Early fears and challenging life experiences can leave significant imprints on a child's developing body. These imprints can create patterns in the nervous system that persist into adulthood. Angie's body-first approach, which includes neuroscience-based movement repatterning, helps clients of all ages tune into their sensing and feeling bodies. This process helps release early trauma and shock patterns.

Benefits of Angie's Approach

With their bodies "underneath them," clients often experience:

• Improved physical ease
• Enhanced self-regulation
• Increased agency
• Better aptitude for learning
• Greater capacity for managing stress

What IS Somatic Movement Therapy?

Soma is the Greek word for ‘body.’

Somatic movement is gentle, therapeutic movement that connects body and brain.

Somatic Movement Therapy at Second Story Counseling is a BODY-FIRST approach to mental health, rooted in neuroscience and physiological human development.

• REPATTERN developmental movement
• REWIRE sensory processing,
• REPAIR early attachment wounds, and ultimately,
• RELEASE “implicit” (unconscious, body-held) memories behind difficult behaviors and strained relationships.
