Melissa Forde, RN, SEP

Hi, I’m Melissa.

 

I’m a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, Registered Nurse, Yoga Teacher, Reiki Practitioner, dog mom and feisty advocate for building an equitable world where everyone belongs.

 

My work blends Somatic Experiencing®, coaching, and nervous system education to help people shift out of survival patterns and back into themselves.

 

Different from some other therapeutic modalities, SE includes your body in the conversation. In our sessions, we’ll work together to explore what your body is telling you and support you in noticing and following the natural impulses that guide you toward better physical, emotional and relational health.

 

Whether you’re preparing for (or right in the middle of) a big transition, seeking relief from physical or emotional discomfort, craving better boundaries in your relationships or wanting to better understand your body’s signals, SE can help you to feel more grounded, empowered, whole and alive.

 

I welcome all clients who seek support with being human. I have a special interest in working with helping professionals, those navigating chronic or terminal illness, anxiety, depression, grief or loss, and adults who are beginning to explore how their own birth or early developmental experiences may still be impacting them.

 

At Hatch, I’m honored to offer somatic support to people and families through the often tender terrain of fertility challenges, pregnancy loss, pregnancy, birth, and early parenthood. I’m passionate about helping parents care for their own nervous systems and their babies’, while gently integrating the intensity and transformation that birth, and the experiences surrounding it, can bring.
