The Body Remembers: Reclaiming Safety Through Somatic Healing
What if the tension, anxiety, or overwhelm you’ve been carrying isn’t all in your head—but stored in your body?
In this special first-ever panel episode of Happiness On Tap, host Leann Herron brings together four incredible somatic practitioners—Carla Shohet (CS), Tyler Begg (TB), Stacey Fitzgerald (SF), and Mitch Webb (MW)—to explore how we can regulate our nervous systems, release stress, and rediscover safety within our own skin.
For those new to the term somatic work, it refers to any practice that uses the body as a pathway for healing, awareness, and transformation. From somatic therapy to yoga, breathwork, movement, or nervous system regulation exercises—these approaches recognize that the body holds wisdom. Healing happens not just through talking about our experiences, but by feeling and releasing what’s stored within.
