Transforming Touch® (TEB)

Transforming Touch® is a trauma-informed therapeutic modality designed to address developmental trauma. It focuses on building somatic safety and regulation within the nervous system, especially for those who may not have experienced secure attachment early in life.

This attachment-based approach integrates unresolved trauma by bringing intentional awareness to specific areas of the body, fostering trust and facilitating deep healing.

What to Expect in a Session

Transforming Touch® sessions can be hands-on, hands-off, or conducted remotely via Zoom. All work is deeply intentional. For example, placing a hand under the adrenal area involves connecting through multiple layers—clothing, skin, fascia, muscles, and bones—ultimately reaching the adrenal with intention, even without direct contact.

Sessions follow a predictable protocol that builds somatic trust and safety. Unlike other modalities where practitioners may follow intuitive cues, Transforming Touch® uses a structured approach, creating a stable foundation for healing.

During the session, clients may experience a range of emotional or physical reactions, from calmness to activation. These responses are a natural part of the nervous system’s process of integration.

💬 “I’m not exactly sure why, but it seems to have worked! I don’t understand this kind of stuff at all—I can’t wrap my head around how you saying words and me touching certain places makes a difference. But I’m buying into it because it has definitely lowered the overall intensity of my stress this week.
Can I sign up for another one, please?? I think it’s doing something! And I’m very happy to say that—that’s pretty cool!”
