Back to EpisodesEpisode 56: The Science of Somatic Intelligence With Katie Connelly
Description
Katie Connelly joins us to demystify the buzzword "somatic experiencing" and shares how reconnecting with our body's wisdom creates profound healing. Drawing from her background as a clinical counselor, craniosacral therapist, and yoga teacher, Katie explains that somatic work is fundamentally about understanding what our physiological sensations are trying to tell us.
Katie's journey began in childhood when her mother introduced breathwork and meditation to help manage anxiety. At just seven years old, she discovered yoga poses created physical sensations that released emotional tension – the foundation of what we now call somatic experiencing. After reconnecting with this wisdom following a near-death experience in her twenties, Katie dedicated her professional life to helping others access their body intelligence.
