Your body is still protecting you from something that no longer exists.
Not because something is wrong with you, but because your nervous system simply never got the message it's safe now.
This is where that changes.
If you feel stuck in survival mode, I want you to know something first:
That is not who you are.
It's a pattern your nervous system adopted because just being yourself felt like a risk it couldn't afford to take.
I'm Ryan, a somatic practitioner. I work with the body, not just the mind, to help people resolve chronic stress and trauma.
I specialize in relational trauma and C-PTSD, the survival patterns that develop when our relationships teach us it isn’t safe to be ourselves.
These patterns aren't character flaws.
They're signals from a nervous system that is asking, finally, to be heard.
I offer two ways to work together, both of which are available online or in person in Athens, GA:
(1) Individual Somatic Sessions
For anyone navigating relational trauma, C-PTSD, or chronic stress who is ready to bring the body into their healing.
(2) Safe to Be Me — my signature 6-week somatic container
For people caught in the fawn response — the survival strategy behind people-pleasing, perfectionism, codependency, and burnout.
“Ryan is an amazing resource.
His work has been transformative for me.”
