My Story of Healing

Vera Killian – Founder of Somatic Centering

MY STORY

After graduating from UCONN for Physical Therapy, I began traditional rehabilitation with a variety of clients, but found that those that had pain that was more chronic in nature, did not respond as well to traditional techniques like strengthening. After much frustration with people suffering from Fibromyalgia, I found a someone was offering Cranio-Sacral Therapy. This modality had the science behind it, but was carried out by light touch primarily. I quickly realized that my skills in perceiving subtle energy seemed hard for me to acquire or master. With a lot of practice though, I was able to achieve success with it and I really loved how it opened me up to a much larger realm of energy available to us all.

Over time, I wanted to learn more about this innate source of energy, available to us, that makes up the human body. I begam interested and inspired by the work of mystic Thomas Hueble, a medical student who gain awareness of the workings of the nervous system. I learned about how our body holds our whole ancestoral history and how the nervous system moves energy through us as we open to life, and how it constricts us, when we feel threatened by life. My training in Somatic Experiencing in 2020, helped me to understand the impact of trauma on our bodies, and how to work with the powerful forces of the nervous system in the fight and flight needs of body, in releasing tension. By doing so, it assists the human body towards its’ journey of growth.

Currently, I work with the chronic pain population by blending my love of Cranio-Sacral technique and myofascial release with somatic therapy, weaving my body work and teachings of the power of our energy through centering and exploring what is really true for us (mind-body aspects). I work to restore inner flow of body’s physiology and tissue mobility by tapping into depths of body more, discovering inner compass or sense of self. I engage in healing endeavors myself, using meditation and tantra practices to open up more to my own energy source.

Me as coach. I believe that we are all on a journey through life, working to evolve or transform our stressful patterns. I love to help others in their process of transformation by helping them to see their struggles as guideposts in their life. I help them with mindfulness and self-awareness in life, seeing their defenses and inner parts that block flow and then work to shift their vibration to restore flow and awaken them to more of their true nature.
