Somatic Trauma Healing in Anacortes
This isn’t talk therapy or a step-by-step method.
Sessions are quiet, focused, and collaborative. We slow things down and pay attention to what’s actually happening—beneath the story, behind the patterns, and inside your system.
You won’t be asked to relive trauma or perform exercises. Instead, we’ll notice what’s showing up and work with it gently—whether that’s emotional overwhelm, energetic heaviness, or something harder to name.
Over time, clients often feel less reactive, more clear-headed, and more like themselves.
This work is subtle—but it leads to real, lasting change.
You’ve been looking something that actually works, and it’s right here. If any of this feels familiar, real change is within reach, and it starts now.
Who I Work Best With
I’m a good fit for people who’ve already done a lot of healing work—but still feel like something deeper hasn’t shifted.
You might be self-aware, intuitive, and even highly functional on the outside—but inside, you're still carrying old patterns, emotional weight, or cycles you can’t seem to break.
You’re not looking for a quick fix or surface-level support.
You want to understand what’s really going on beneath the anxiety, the shutdowns, or the constant overthinking—and finally work through it in a way that sticks.
Most of my clients are navigating things like:
Complex trauma or long-term stress
Emotional overwhelm or burnout
Feeling stuck after years of therapy or personal development
Spiritual awakening, energetic sensitivity, or psychic overwhelm
A desire to integrate psychedelic experiences or deep inner shifts

Holistic Approach
Address the root causes of pain and trauma by weaving together trauma-informed therapy, somatic healing, energy healing, yoga therapy, mindfulness and meditation, psychedelic integration therapy, nutritional guidance, hypnotherapy, and shamanic work
Integration Focused
My work focuses on helping clients apply what they learn during our sessions to their everyday lives. By offering guidance, practical tools, and ongoing support, I help individuals sustain their growth and healing long after our sessions so that healing is carried forward into everyday life."
Trauma Informed
Being truly trauma-informed means understanding that no two experiences of trauma are alike. It requires adapting each healing approach to honor the unique needs and boundaries of every individual, rather than applying a 'one-size-fits-all' model.
SOMATIC HEALING IN ANACORTES, WASHINGTON
Somatic Healing
Somatic has become a bit of a buzzword these days, so let’s break it down. True somatic work isn’t just about touch—it’s about creating a deeper connection between your mind and body.
I have a knack for helping you decipher the messages, symbols, and language of your body, turning them into insights you can interpret, learn from, and grow with.
SHAMANIC HEALING IN ANACORTES, WASHINGTON
Shamanic Healing
Coming from a long line of healers, I was naturally gifted with abilities that allow me to be a bridge between the spiritual and physical worlds. While I’ve received formal training in shamanic practices, my true strengths lie in land and house clearings, mentoring those with psychic gifts, teaching spiritual practices, and holding space for plant medicine ceremonies.

My Approach:
modern science + ancient wisdom=
to support integrative, whole-person healing that helps address the deeper roots of emotional overwhelm, stress, and disconnection.

Nicole Anzaldua
I’m a body whisperer—a pattern tracker and a bridge between the practical and the unseen. I help smart, self-aware people who’ve done the work but still feel stuck finally feel something shift. Not through advice or surface-level fixes, but by listening to what the body’s been trying to say all along.
My work is subtle, intuitive, and grounded. I sit with people in the spaces most others rush past—the shutdown, the fog, the ache that isn’t physical but still hurts. Together, we track what’s beneath the surface: trauma patterns, nervous system responses, unspoken grief, inherited wounds. We move at the pace your body can actually handle, not the pace your mind thinks you “should” be at. This isn’t about mindset or performance. It’s about reconnection. Real, sustainable healing that starts from within.
With 15+ years in psychology, somatic healing, spiritual studies, and trauma work, I bring both formal training and lived experience to every session. I’m certified in, psychedelic integration, and trauma-informed modalities, but what matters most is that I’ve lived this work. I’ve walked through my own fire and come back with a map.
What lights me up? When someone says, “I finally feel like myself again.” When the tears come after years of numbness. When a client stops performing and starts belonging to themselves. That’s the kind of work I live for.
I’m not here to save you. I’m here to walk beside you while you remember who the hell you are.

I’m not a licensed therapist, and I don’t offer therapy. Instead, I provide holistic, body-based support that complements other forms of care. Many of the people I work with have already done years of traditional talk therapy. They’ve gained insight—but still feel stuck.
What makes my work different is that we don’t just talk about your experiences—we explore how they live in your body, how they influence your patterns, and how your nervous system may have adapted in response.
In our sessions, we take a different approach. We slow down and get curious about what your body is holding. I guide you through somatic healing tools, nervous system regulation practices, trauma-informed yoga, and intuitive energy work—supporting you as you reconnect with yourself.
This work isn’t about treatment or diagnosis. It’s about creating space for your own awareness, your own growth, and your own inner healing process.

Every session starts with where you are—not where a treatment plan says you should be.
Many of my clients come to me after years of surviving in survival mode—feeling emotionally flooded, chronically anxious, or shut down.
While I don’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions, I offer body-based, trauma-informed support for those who have experienced long-term stress, childhood trauma, or relational harm.
Together, we explore how your nervous system has adapted to protect you—and how to build new pathways for safety, trust, and connection.
Some days, you might come in with a heavy emotion sitting in your chest. Other times, you might be in problem-solving mode, needing clarity. I don’t expect you to show up a certain way.I listen closely—to your words, your body, your energy—and together we follow what’s most alive in the moment. Whether we’re using somatic inquiry, parts work, or grounding tools, we’ll move at a pace that feels safe and meaningful.
There’s no script here. We co-create the process based on what’s real for you that day.

Clients often tell me things start to feel more manageable—like they finally have space to breathe and think clearly again.
They catch themselves before reacting. They pause instead of spiraling. They say no without overexplaining.Over time, they notice fewer shutdowns, fewer anxious loops, and more presence in their day-to-day lives.
They stop carrying what isn’t theirs. They start making decisions with more clarity and less second-guessing.This work doesn’t promise a perfect life—but it gives you the tools, awareness, and nervous system support to handle what life brings without losing yourself in the process.
It’s not about becoming someone new or drastically different. It’s about finally feeling like you —clearer, steadier, and more in control.

I get that finances can be a big concern when you're seeking support, and I want to acknowledge that it’s a very real part of the healing journey. I also know how important it is to find someone you trust to walk alongside you—and I want to be transparent about how I structure my fees.
Over the past 15+ years in spiritual guidance, holistic health, and yoga, I’ve offered sliding scale and discounted rates—especially in the early stages of my career. At the time, that made a lot of sense. I was still building experience, and I was also in a place where I needed support. I remember how grateful I was when practitioners made it possible for me to receive care I couldn’t otherwise afford. I’ll always carry deep appreciation for that.
But after years of working with incredible clients and continuing to invest in my own growth, I no longer offer discounted rates. Here’s why:
1. The Value of My Work
What I offer now is grounded in thousands of hours of study, practice, and lived experience. It’s trauma-informed, holistic care that supports healing at the root—not just symptom management.
This is an energetic exchange. And when you honor my rates, you’re also honoring the depth of the work and the transformation we’re about to create together.
I truly believe that when we’re ready, the resources show up. I’ve asked for funds toward therapy, trainings, and healing as birthday or holiday gifts—and I encourage you to think creatively, too.2. The Energy and Labor Involved
This work takes a lot. It’s not just about showing up to a session—it’s about being present, attuned, and available in a way that’s only possible because of the work I do behind the scenes. I continue to invest in my own regulation, education, and healing so I can offer a high level of care. My rates reflect the labor, preparation, and responsibility I carry in this role.3. Respecting the Healing Process
I’ve learned that when we invest in our healing, something shifts. It signals to our nervous system—and to the universe—that we’re ready.
Offering discounts would mean discounting my own energy, and I’ve learned through experience that maintaining boundaries around money protects the integrity of the work. It allows both of us to show up fully.I hope you understand that my decision not to offer discounted rates comes from a place of deep respect—for myself, for the work, and for you.
If this work resonates with you, I trust that the right timing and resources will align. And I’ll be here when they do.
Start the Conversation.
If you’re feeling a pull toward this work, trust that.
There’s no pressure—just a chance to connect, ask questions, and see if this feels like the right fit.
Let’s talk about what’s showing up and explore what healing could look like—together.
