Amber Laing
Enduring Heart Somatic Therapy
Welcome. My name is Amber. I am an Occupational Therapist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. It is my intention to help you connect with your body, your sense of aliveness, and what brings you joy. Sometimes, this means working on the things that are holding us back, such as past trauma, and sometimes this means moving towards more connection and presence. Or in many cases, both.
When our boundaries have been breached, whether sexually, medically, relationally, or in any other way, we can lose connection with ourselves. It can be harder to differentiate between what we want or don’t want. We may lose the ability to be feel our bodies and remain present in our own lives. We may start to live in fear of intimacy and connection, fear attending medical appointments, or feel disengaged from our loved ones and our lives. We may lose the ability to enjoy life’s wonders, comforts, and pleasures.
My work is to support your journey of accessing your own innate capacity to heal and reconnect with what is meaningful to you.
Despite trauma, we can endure, and find our way back to the heart.
My focus and interest throughout my career is and has always been trauma. As an OT, I have had the privilege of supporting hundreds of people in their journey of healing trauma and re-engaging in life. I have supported individuals in healing from workplace trauma, first responder & military trauma, medical trauma, birth trauma, and sexual trauma, among others. My passion is helping women reconnect with their bodies and sense of vitality following sexual trauma, boundary violations, medical trauma, and birth trauma.
