Evidence-based somatic trauma therapy in Champaign-Urbana. Reconnect with your body and reclaim your life through embodied healing.
Get StartedI'm Jayla, a trauma-informed somatic therapist dedicated to helping individuals heal from the effects of trauma stored in their bodies and nervous systems.
With four years of hands-on experience and hundreds of satisfied clients, I create a safe, compassionate space where you can process difficult experiences at your own pace. Healing isn't just about talking—it's about reconnecting with your body's wisdom.
I work with clients navigating the invisible impacts of trauma: persistent tension, anxiety, disconnection, and patterns that no longer serve you. Together, we'll help your nervous system find safety again.
One-on-one sessions tailored to your specific trauma history and healing goals. We work at the pace that feels right for your nervous system.
Initial evaluation to understand how trauma lives in your body and nervous system, creating a personalized healing roadmap.
Learn practical, embodied techniques to calm your nervous system, reduce hypervigilance, and develop resilience.
Guided breathwork and gentle movement practices designed to release stored tension, restore body awareness, and support lasting nervous system balance.
Somatic therapy recognizes that trauma isn't just in your mind—it's held in your body. Through gentle, body-aware work, we help your system find safety and release what no longer serves you.
Understanding how your body holds trauma and helping it return to a state of safety and ease.
Creating absolute safety and respect for your pace, history, and autonomy throughout the healing process.
Moving beyond talk therapy to include breath, movement, and somatic awareness for deeper healing.
