Resolving pain, fear and stress with courage and compassion
Does stress, chronic illness, pain or anxiety keep you from experiencing life to the fullest?
Do you feel overwhelmed, afraid, depressed or out of control?
Are you tired of feeling stuck or repeating unhealthy patterns?
Are you longing to feel more connected to your body, with a greater sense of well being?
SOMATIC THERAPY helps clients recover from trauma, manage chronic illness and pain, reduce stress and anxiety, and resolve problems that have intertwined emotional and physical symptoms.
BodyMind-InnerWork, an innovative somatic therapy approach developed by Lynne Anne, addresses issues such as:
Trauma
- Trauma resulting from abuse, injuries, accidents, severe illness, difficult birth or medical interventions
- Social and Collective Trauma - Histories of sexism, racism, classism, homophobia, transphobia, agism, disability discrimination and all other forms of systemic oppression and injustice must be understood, and seen as context for our individual wounding and healing
- Intergenerational Trauma - Unresolved traumas, and harmful or limiting conditioning and behaviors are handed down from our ancestors through the generations. These parental and family experiences have a profound effect on us. The good news is that as we become conscious of these patterns we can interrupt them and make healthier choices now, for ourselves and for future and past generations.Chronic pain
Emotional distress, such as anxiety, overwhelm, irritability, hopelessness, anger issues, or feelings of disconnection
Grief and loss, death of a family member
Addiction
Relationship issues, including fear of intimacy or trusting others, sexual problems, pattern of addictive relationships or repeating unhealthy behaviors
Stress-related syndromes, such as insomnia, irritable bowel, colitis, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue or multiple chemical sensitivities
Stress due to life-threatening illnesses, such as HIV, cancer, heart disease, diabetes or immune system disorders
Eating disorders or negative body image

"I began having panic attacks more than a decade ago when I was pregnant with my first daughter. Through the rest of my pregnancies and for years after, I was debilitated with fears I could not explain. Working with Lynne Anne, I have been learning to reclaim myself from traumas related to sexual abuse and other negative experiences from my childhood. Lynne Anne is a gentle and wise healer, but the key is she teaches me how to heal myself, and that is what helps me lead my life with more awareness and integrity."

"I am immensely grateful for your heartfelt, patient, and deep yet gentle work. You helped me recover from the most difficult physical illness in my life and the rough emotional feelings that I experienced. Your tremendous skills as a therapist and your warm, accepting vibrancy helped me to explore previously cut off parts of my life, and to continue my growth toward greater wholeness and depth."
