You’ve done the therapy. You’ve stretched, meditated, journaled.
So why does your body still feel so heavy?
You hold it all together.
You support everyone. You show up. You move through the world with grace.
But behind that strength, your body is talking.
Tight shoulders.
A locked jaw.
A chest that can’t take a full breath.
An ache in your belly or hips that no one seems to understand.
You’ve likely heard:
“You just need to relax.”
“You need to manage your stress.”
Or worse—”There’s nothing wrong.”
But you know something is there.
And often, it’s not stress—it’s unexpressed grief and held emotion living in the body.
At Nuna Holistic Retreat Center in Sarasota, we help women who’ve carried too much for too long, whose bodies are asking—sometimes screaming—for deeper healing.
When the Body Holds What Words Can’t Release
Grief isn’t always loud. Sometimes it lives in silence.
Sometimes it takes the shape of tension, fatigue, or numbness.
Many of the women we see at Nuna say:
“I’ve processed the emotions, but my body won’t let go.”
“I feel like I’m bracing all the time.”
“I know there’s more inside me—but I don’t know how to reach it.”
That’s because traditional talk therapy works with the mind.
But the nervous system and fascia store emotion physically—especially in women conditioned to stay composed.
At Nuna, we specialize in Somatic Healing and Emotional Healing—designed to meet the places words can’t touch.
Our work includes:
Somatic Massage & Bodywork to soften tension and help the body begin to feel safe
Somatic De-Armoring to gently release years of emotional bracing stored in the tissues
Somatic Coaching for Relationships and Intimacy to restore the capacity for emotional closeness and vulnerability—first with self, then with others
Holistic Somatic Healing sessions to create space for grief, joy, sensuality, and the full spectrum of feeling
This is not about fixing you. It’s about helping your body remember how to move and feel again.
A Client’s Journey Through the Body
One client came to us after two years of traditional therapy.
She said,
“My mind knows it’s okay to let go. But my body won’t.”
She carried grief—old and new—that had never found a voice.
Through a series of somatic sessions, her body began to release—not all at once, but layer by layer.
By the end of her process, she told us:
“I didn’t even know how much I’d been holding. Now I feel lighter—not just in my body, but in my life.”
The Science Behind the Tension
Chronic muscle tension often reflects unresolved emotional holding, especially in women
The vagus nerve—key to emotional processing and self-regulation—requires physical safety to function properly
Somatic healing helps regulate the nervous system and release stored grief through touch, breath, and presence—not just analysis
Your body isn’t betraying you. It’s speaking—finally—and it deserves to be met with compassion.
You Don’t Have to Carry It Alone Anymore
You’ve been strong long enough.
You don’t need to process more in your head.
You need a space where your body can finally exhale.
