Where is trauma stored in the body? This article explores how trauma affects the body over time and the most common symptoms of trauma in adults. Through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens, it reframes these symptoms as intelligent adaptations and introduces body-based approaches to trauma and recovery.

What if healing trauma wasn’t about forcing release, but about restoring safety in the body?

PTSD lives in the nervous system — not just the story. Craniosacral therapy offers a gentle, body-led approach that supports the nervous system in releasing trauma in layers, as safety and capacity grow. Blending lived experience and research, this piece explores how healing can unfold without overwhelm — and why the body always knows the way.

The Winter Solstice marks the longest night of the year — a sacred threshold where darkness completes its work and the light quietly begins to return.

This is not a season for pushing forward, but for turning inward. For resting, rooting, and allowing what is unseen to take shape. Through the wisdom of winter, the cocoon, and the seed beneath the soil, this reflection invites you to honour rest as preparation, darkness as initiation, and stillness as sacred.

A gentle reminder that you do not need to force the light — it has already begun to return.

Have you ever had a heavy day, then someone smiles at you on the street — and suddenly, you find yourself smiling too? That’s a glimmer. A tiny spark of life that reminds your nervous system it’s safe to soften again. When we start to notice these micro-moments of beauty, we begin to re-pattern our brain toward peace, joy, and connection. This isn’t bypassing pain — it’s remembering that light and shadow can coexist, and that healing begins by noticing what’s already here.
