About Me

Vera Killian – Somatic Centering

MY JOURNEY

After graduating from UCONN in Physical Therapy, I fell in love with a modality I learned many years ago, called cranio-sacral therapy, after the repeated frustration from my lack of success helping people in chronic pain using traditional methods. This modality had the science behind it, but is carried out using light touch on the body. In the beginning, I realized that my skills in perceiving subtle energy was hard for me to acquire or master; however, with a lot of practice, I gained more capacities to move energy blockages in the body which alleviated pain and improved mobility of the structure.


Cranio-sacral therapy opened me up to a much larger realm of energy within our body, and I strived to learn more about this innate source of energy, available to us all. Through the work of mystic Thomas Hueble, I gained an understanding about how our DNA holds our ancestoral trauma history and how the nervous system moves energy through us as we open to life, and how it constricts us to protect us, when we feel threatened by life. My experience in Internal Family Systems and training in Somatic Experiencing in 2020, taught me how to work with the powerful forces of the nervous system in the fight and flight trauma responses of the body, in releasing tension, assisting the human body towards its’ journey of evolution and growth.


I began my own healing journey over the years and found a strong innate desire within, to help others with their healing. I believe that we are all on a journey through life, working to evolve or transform our stressful patterns. I provide personalized guidance to clients, in empowering them to see their struggles as guideposts blockages in their energy in life. Learning to be more mindful and self-aware in life, we can begin to see our defenses and our inner parts that are blocking flow of our energy. We can then work to shift our vibration to restore flow and awaken to more of our true nature. I help people with these realizations, and offer support and motivation for practice opportunities, since healing requires a lifelong process to change our old patterns.

Life Needs Updating!

Society’s lack of awareness about body dysfunction.

We as a whole, are disconnected from our body from our past traumas. 

Results in symptoms that cause chronic stress/pain, time out of work, repeated efforts to find relief and a strain on the medical system and resources. 


Change requires a shifting out of outdated patterns of thinking 

based in scarcity (of health) & blame mentality, keeping us stuck in recurring cycles of pain, stress & powerlessness ...

Nervous System & Energy Flow

Body is like a river of flow. 

Like water through a piping system, the nervous system channels and moves our willpower (life force energy), through a system of neuro-electrical circuit pathways, into and through life.

Through the conditioned programs of our mind, it coordinates actions, communicates messages and releases energy to keep things flowing and heathy.

It protects our system by activating us to action (fight response) or to flee to safety ...
