SALT CITY BODYWORKS IS ABOUT
Enhanced
Nervous System Regulation
How Salt City Can
Support You
You feel most alive when our mind, body and psyche are connected. The effect of trauma—whether an accumulation of events or one sudden impact—flips the breaker switch between these parts to prevent overwhelm. This helps you survive. While critical in the short term, living in a disconnected fashion over time can deprive your life of its sense of meaning and depth. Salt City Bodyworks offers somatic approaches to heal trauma and support reconnection so you can transform from surviving to thriving.
NARM
The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) is a somatic model created by Dr. Laurence Heller that facilitates healing from developmental trauma. NARM is not psychotherapy.
Somatic Support
Experience trauma healing with one-on-on-one somatic sessions. Salt City Bodyworks draws from a variety of body based traditions to offer you a customized approach to support you on your journey.
Somatic Experiencing®
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) is a body-based approach developed by Dr. Peter Levine to enhance regulation in the nervous system. It is designed to support recovery from the effects of shock trauma. SE is not psychotherapy.
NARM
$140 for 50 minutes
$225 for 80 minutes
The NeuroAffective Relational Model is a somatic approach to healing developmental trauma created by Dr. Larry Heller who also co-authored the accompanying book Healing Developmental Trauma. Developmental trauma is a term used to describe the effects of trauma on the critical stages of human development. By definition, it happens early in life and usually over long periods of time. The terms “attachment trauma” or “relational trauma” are often used interchangeably with “developmental trauma”.
Most people who have experienced NARM comment on how respectful the process is. It honors agency; is non-pathologizing; supports the mind-body connection in an organic, present-moment way; uses invitational language; is not interpretive; diffuses the power differential between client and practitioner and does not pursue goal or behavior-oriented outcomes.
NARM principles are used by licensed and non-licensed professionals in many sectors of the helping and healing arts. Some of these include somatic practitioners, spiritual directors and clergy, health care professionals, educators, addiction specialists and mental health counselors.

Somatic Experiencing ®
$140 for 50 minutes
$225 for 80 minutes
Somatic Experiencing® is a somatic trauma healing modality developed by Dr. Peter Levine and is best suited for addressing the effects of shock trauma.
This approach to enhancing nervous system regulation releases “trapped” fight or flight energy through any number of somatic (or “body”) experiences: muscle trembling, tears, flushing, inhaling/exhaling, chills, “goose flesh”, yawning, stretching, sweating, etc.
The vagus nerve registers these energy discharges and sends the message to the brain that the danger is over. The brain then resets the nervous system from “fight or flight” mode to the “rest and digest” baseline. The discharge has to actually occur to be picked up by the vagus nerve. This is why it is called Somatic Experiencing.
If you are living with the effects of shock trauma, Somatic Experiencing may be a fit for you. Zoom consultations are available to learn more.
Somatic Experiencing is not psychotherapy. Jenny Winkel is not a licensed mental health care professional.
