Today we are going to dive into the second area of Whole Motherhood, the body. Gabrielle and I are going to chat about what somatic breathing is and how to use it in helping us heal and connect to our bodies. "To be somatic means to be able to observe our internal sensations. Noticing the movement of the belly, ribs and chest as you inhale and exhale. Somatic breathing includes increasing sensory awareness to the throat, diaphragm, jaw and shoulders as we breathe." - Heidi Hadley
About Gabrielle: Gabrielle is a trauma-informed healing coach who’s main passion is to help women come to know and believe that the emotions they want to feel and the relationships and life they want to have are possible for them! Gabrielle helps women heal the trauma from self-betrayal, or sexual betrayal in their relationship, through the body, subconscious mind, nervous system regulation and the lens of their enneagram type. Experiencing betrayal trauma in her marriage led her to realize she had been betraying herself for decades. Because of her deep healing journey and reclamation of self she is able to share her story and be a thought leader in the betrayal healing space that there is hope and a path forward of healing.

"Trauma is about a loss of connection to ourselves to our bodies, to our families, to others and to the world around us, this loss of connection is often hard to recognize because it doesn't happen all at once. It can happen slowly over time. And we adapt to these subtle changes sometimes without even noticing that we're doing them. These are the hidden effects of trauma, the ones that most of us keep to ourselves." Peter Levine
