Transforming Touch® is a regulation-based model utilizing touch, either in person or remotely over Zoom (Transforming Intentional Touch®).
This modality was developed by Dr. Stephen Terrell, who discovered that traditional approaches like talk therapy and certain types of somatic work often fall short when it comes to healing developmental trauma. In this model, we recognize that chronic stress, fear, and early trauma can profoundly impact our ability to grow, learn, explore, and connect with others.
As we begin to heal and experience greater nervous system regulation, we naturally develop more capacity—in all areas of life.
I believe your body already knows how to heal itself—when it feels safe and is no longer stuck in survival mode. With the right support, your nervous system can begin to shift. Your body and brain are capable of creating new neural pathways that support reduced stress and anxiety, and increase your ability to relate, learn, and thrive.
