YOU FEEL LIKE SOMETHING'S OFF, EVEN WHEN YOU'RE DOING ALL THE RIGHT THINGS.

You meditate.

You journal.

You've done the therapy. 

And still...

You're anxious, disconnected, & reactive.

Like you're missing something essential.

THE TRUTH MOST THERAPY MISSES:

Talk therapy can help you understand your story.
And meditation can help you quiet your mind.
 

But if your body is stuck in the past, no amount of insight will set you free.

That’s because trauma isn’t just emotional or psychological.

It’s physiological.
It lives in your nervous system.

Trauma shapes your behaviour, your relationships, and your sense of self.

It affects your ability to enjoy and participate in your life.

 

YOU CAN'T THINK 
YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS.

In fact...

All the talking and thinking are
probably making it worse.

 

This is where somatic therapy comes in.

We help you reattune to the wisdom of your body.
We guide you towards processing what’s been stuck for too long.
So you can build the capacity to move through life—resilient, connected, and Awake.

 

WELCOME TO SOMATIC INTEGRATION THERAPY

Where the science of trauma repair meets the mystery of Awakening

So you can process the past, feel safe in your body, and reconnect with who you really are. 

WHY WORK WITH US?

Meet Aaron and Alissa:

We’ve spent the last two decades integrating deep personal work with powerful tools from trauma science, somatic therapy, traditional Tantrik technologies, and lived experience.

We’re not just here to talk about your trauma.
We’re here to guide you through it in real time.

We attune deeply to your system.
We see the root patterns others often miss.
We help you restore your internal compass so you can live with more clarity, connection, and choice.

This work is gentle.
It’s collaborative.
And it’s life-changing.

The practitioner you choose to work with will be based on compatibility, intuition, and individual needs. You may want to learn through resonance from someone who’s walked a similar path to yours. It can also be valuable to challenge and rewrite your stories through interactions with someone of the opposite gender.

YOU MIGHT BE HERE BECAUSE... 

  • You feel numb or anxious more often than not.

  • You’re stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, abusive relationships, or self-sabotage.

  • You want to be more present with your family, but old triggers keep hijacking you.

  • You’ve tried therapy and spiritual work to shift your mindset, but your life hasn't changed much, if at all.

  • You feel like you’re missing out on your own life because you're stuck in survival mode.

You’re not broken.
It's not too late.

Your nervous system has been doing exactly what it needed to do to protect you.

Now you're ready to release the protective patterns that are holding you back.

Somatic Integration Therapy can help you go from simply coping to truly thriving.

“Trauma is hell on earth.

Trauma resolved is a gift from the gods.”

WHAT IS SOMATIC INTEGRATION THERAPY?

It's a custom, body-based approach to healing trauma, based on three crucial pillars:

women seeking tantric coaching for her relationship

Integration

 Bringing your fragmented parts into wholeness.

This is where you repair trauma, decondition from old stories, and learn nervous system regulation.

Reconnection

Returning to healthy relationship with self, others, and the natural world.

A natural result of Integration, you'll experience more stability and security in your connections with others.

Awakening

Coming into fuller 
Consciousness and Truth.

Your Integration and Reconnection lead to a recognition of Self. This is the ultimate transformation. You'll finally give yourself permission to thrive.

This work isn’t a quick fix or one-size-fits-all protocol.

It’s an intuitive, relational process guided by seasoned practitioners who are living it.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF...

  • You feel like you've been stuck in survival mode.

  • You’ve outgrown the same old coping strategies.

  • You’re ready to stop rehashing your stories and start resolving them.

  • You want to know what it feels like to be YOU again, without the baggage, without the insecurities, without the opinions of others holding you back. 

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?

Each session is based on you and what you need at the time. That said, here’s what you can expect:

Empathic Witnessing:

Humans are built to connect and share stories, and to bear witness to each other.

The power of empathy and understanding cannot be matched in their ability to help you process stress and trauma.

Guided Somatic Exploration:

You’ll be supported to notice, feel, and actually process what’s happening in your body. 

We'll stop you from swirling in the same stories, and keep you from getting stuck in the same emotional traps.

Real-Time
Co-Regulation

Just like an animal who's been abused, you need slow, loving guidance to relearn how to trust and enjoy life again.

Humans are no different in their need for comfort, guidance, and reassurance.

Education & Insight:

Self-compassion is a healing force. We’ll help you to deeply understand how your past has shaped your present.

This is only possible once you move past the stories and into a deeper understanding.

"Aaron at The AUM Institute is an amazing somatic practitioner, caring and attuned. He is able to flow with whatever comes up, address it with effective exercises and questions and I always leave feeling more grounded. His energy is welcoming and low key, which helps me feel able to share vulnerably in my own way and time. Highly recommend!"
