"I help people find freedom in their system by getting out of freeze." Brooke Powers joins Finding New Waters to discuss somatic coaching and nervous system regulation.

In this episode, we explore how your body stores trauma and why "our state of our nervous system tells our story." Brooke explains her four part framework: Acclimate, Incorporate, Rediscover, and Embody to help clients shift into a connected, regulated state.
