Christy Mann Somatics
Restore to Wholeness
Unwinding held patterns of stress and
early developmental trauma.
A Somatic Invitation
Your body carries the story of your life - not just in memory, but in sensation, tension, movement, breath, and the patterns you've developed to navigate the world. Many of these patterns were intelligent adaptations that helped you get through difficult moments. But sometimes they outlive their purpose, leaving you feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unable to access the life you long for.
As a somatic stress release practitioner informed by developmental trauma, I work with your body's innate capacity to heal, adapt, and restore balance. Rather than trying to fix you or analyse what's wrong, we begin by meeting what is here, now.
Together, we welcome the full range of your human experience with curiosity rather than judgment. Your body is constantly communicating - through sensation, emotion, posture, breath, and nervous system responses. The question is: are you ready to listen?
Our work is an invitation to slow down and develop a different relationship with yourself. I don't assume I know how you came to be where you are. Instead, I approach your experience with genuine care and curiosity, taking the time to understand the unique path that shaped you.
Together, we take a wider stance and a deeper look, honouring not only what happened to you, but how your body learned to respond.
As we work, we create opportunities for your nervous system to experience what may have been missing: greater safety, support, choice, connection, and completion. Sometimes healing isn't about revisiting the past - it's about allowing your body to have the experiences it needed but never received. In doing so, held patterns of stress can begin to unwind, making space for new possibilities.
This work isn't about becoming someone different. It's about restoring your connection to your own wholeness.
As your capacity grows, so does your ability to meet each moment with greater flexibility, resilience, and adaptability. You begin to develop a new map of what is possible within your body - a way of living that isn't driven solely by old protective patterns, but by presence, choice, and connection.
There is nothing you need to force. Only an invitation to become curious, to make more space within yourself, and to discover what your body has been wanting to tell you all along.

What clients are saying:
"Working with Christy has been one of the most unexpectedly transformative experiences of my healing journey. From the very beginning, she intuitively understood the emotional stuckness I was carrying — not just in my mind, but in my body. It was as if she could sense the places where I felt frozen, overwhelmed, or unable to move forward, even before I found the words for it. In our session, Christy guided me gently into those tight, uncomfortable spaces with a level of attunement I’ve never experienced before. She recognised how my body reacted — the subtle shifts, the tension, the moments where I pulled back — and she responded with exactly the right amount of support and spaciousness. When I felt uncomfortable or vulnerable, she didn’t rush me or try to fix it. She simply held the space with such steadiness that I felt safe enough to stay with what was coming up. Through her guidance, I was able to release feelings I had been carrying for years. Christy helped me move through them in a way that felt natural, embodied, and deeply respectful of my pace. I left our session feeling lighter, clearer, and more connected to myself. I feel as though I have a new relationship with my body and my emotions. Her intuition, her presence, and her ability to read what I needed moment‑to‑moment made all the difference. I’m genuinely grateful for the space she created and the shifts she helped me access."

"Christy is brilliant. She’s an incredibly effective, intuitive, and knowledgeable practitioner. After 30+ years of seeing numerous people in the healing industry, I’d run out of hope. From my very first appointment with Christy, something shifted in me, which I can't explain, but to say that joy filled the empty painful feelings of a hole in my chest that I’d carried for most of my life. Christy helped me to overcome deep-seated pain. I’m so very grateful to the person who introduced me to her, and I’m so grateful to Christy. Her approach is unlike anyone I’ve ever seen, and remarkably, as we worked together, she reached all of my layers, and held me from a distance as we worked through it.
I am now joyfully living instead of merely existing in misery. Thank you Christy. You’re a true healer. I highly recommend that should anyone need to restore to wholeness, to contact her."

"I wasn’t quite sure what to expect going into the session, as I’d only ever experienced talk therapy before. We had the session online, and Christy immediately made me feel comfortable and supported by ensuring I was in a calm environment and creating a welcoming space. This made it much easier to relax and be fully present. The session gave me an opportunity to slow down and reconnect with myself in a way I don’t often make time for. I left feeling calm, grounded, and with a greater sense of clarity. It was a gentle but powerful experience, and I really appreciated how intuitive the guidance was throughout. I’d definitely recommend it to anyone who’s feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or simply looking for a different way to process what’s going on beneath the surface. Thanks Christy!"
- Elizabeth
"This was my first experience with somatic therapy, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. From the moment I arrived, Christy made me feel comfortable, welcome, and completely at ease. The session was incredibly eye-opening and introduced me to a different way of approaching the challenges we discussed. What stood out most was that I didn’t need to relive painful past experiences to make meaningful progress. I left the session feeling lighter, more confident, and with a renewed sense of clarity. I would highly recommend Christy to anyone looking for an alternative, compassionate approach to therapy."
- Douglas
