Somatic Therapy for Self-Evolution and Well-Being

Mother, mentor, writer and therapist, Cundy Bryson graduated from Naropa University in 1994 with a degree in Somatic Psychotherapy. For the past 30 years, she has worked in clinical settings, academia and private practice where she has established herself as a community leader in body-centered therapy.

Her approach with clients is multidisciplinary and incorporates training from current leaders in the fields of mindfulness, internal family systems therapy, polyvagal informed therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, complex trauma and EMDR.

Cundy's practice integrates the body and information coming from the body as a healing touch stone. She goes beyond traditional “talk therapy" and believes that change occurs when clients are willing to go beyond personal narratives.

Cundy encourages clients to explore their neurobiology and the ways that trauma, maladaptive behavior patterns and core beliefs can not only be held within the body but can also be released and expressed.

Somatic Therapy is an approach that supports clients to not only talk about themselves but also guides them into awareness of what is happening in the body. This can be done through:

• breathing techniques

• specific movement

• mindfulness meditation

• visualization

• yoga

• journaling exercises

• cognitive behavioral awareness

• sensorimotor awareness

Cundy helped me reclaim my sense of well-being and purpose.

Cundy is a highly skilled somatic therapist who brings intelligence, deep intuition and practical tools to her work. Her compassionate approach was particularly impactful to me while I navigated PTSD, depression and significant life changes. She helped me reclaim my sense of well-being and purpose. Cundy offers transformative support that works. I highly recommend her.

Cundy shows up to work as hard as I do.

Cundy is an amazing somatic therapist who has helped me discover my true nature and self by getting to the root of my problems. She has a plethora of techniques and suggestions to help me achieve my goals. She shows up ready to work as hard as I do, while being gentle but also incredibly effective. I have seen many therapists before her but none have helped me understand myself and my actions as much as she has.

I have never walked away from a session feeling I was just “ranting” to a friend who was paid to listen.

Cundy has played an instrumental role in helping me conquer a substance addiction, offering compassion and listening, but also a gentle push in the right direction. While I felt embarrassed and overwhelmed talking about the scope of my addiction, she worked to help me find a place where I was less judgmental towards myself and more able to focus on conquering the situation.
