Medical Trauma Therapy in Birmingham, Alabama
Support for surgery, medical procedures, chronic illness, and recovery
Medical experiences can leave a lasting imprint on both the mind and the body. Even when care is necessary or life-saving, the nervous system may hold onto fear, overwhelm, or a sense of loss of control.
At Nectar Therapy, I offer specialized support for medical trauma using a somatic and integrative approach. This work is designed to help you feel more grounded, supported, and regulated before, during, and after medical experiences.
I work with clients who are:
Preparing for surgery or medical procedures
Recovering from medical interventions
Navigating cancer treatment
Living with chronic illness
Processing past medical trauma
Through Somatic Experiencing and Lifespan Integration, we gently work with how these experiences are held in your body, helping to reduce anxiety, restore a sense of safety, and support your capacity to move through medical care with more stability and agency.
