Trauma Touch Therapy®, developed by somatic expert Kathy Kain, is a gentle, body-centered approach designed to support individuals in healing from the effects of trauma. Grounded in the understanding that trauma is often stored in the body, this work combines mindful touch with trauma-informed principles to help clients safely reconnect with their physical selves.

Unlike traditional massage, Trauma Touch Therapy is not focused on physical manipulation but rather on cultivating a sense of safety, presence, and embodiment. It’s particularly supportive for those experiencing symptoms of developmental trauma, complex PTSD, or dissociation.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, incorporating this somatic touch approach can enhance therapeutic outcomes by addressing the physiological imprint of trauma alongside cognitive and emotional processes. Every session is guided by consent, collaboration, and the client’s pace, making it a powerful complement to talk therapy for deeper integration and healing.
