You’re doing everything right—but something feels off.
The kids are fed. The house is (mostly) clean. The calendar is full. You’re showing up at work, at home, at every school event.
But inside, you feel… gone.
There’s a hollow ache that can’t be named. You’re touched out, emotionally distant, and disconnected from your body—and your partner.
When “Functioning” Becomes Emotional Disconnection
Modern parenthood rewards over-functioning. You learn how to keep everything together while slowly losing contact with yourself.
Moms and dads alike tell us:
- “I don’t know what I feel anymore.”
- “I’m too tired for touch—even the loving kind.”
- “We sleep in the same bed, but we’re worlds apart.”
- “I miss myself.”
This isn’t failure. This is nervous system shutdown. And it doesn’t mean something is wrong with you—it means you need repair.
The Body Knows the Load You Carry
You’ve likely tried parenting podcasts, therapy, even couples retreats. But if the issue is living in your nervous system, logic won’t fix it.
Touch can feel like pressure.
Connection can feel like demand.
Rest can feel impossible.
Why? Because your body has learned to survive, not relax.
Somatic Healing Helps Parents Reclaim Themselves
At Nuna Holistic Retreat Center in Sarasota, we work with exhausted parents who are silently suffering under the surface. Our approach is gentle, respectful, and rooted in trauma-informed nervous system care.
We offer:
- Somatic Massage & Bodywork to calm the body and support safe touch
- Somatic De-Armoring to release the chronic tension that blocks connection
- Somatic Coaching for Relationships and Intimacy to reconnect couples post-children
- Holistic Somatic Healing to bring you back into your body, emotions, and inner world
This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping your body feel safe again. Safe to feel. Safe to rest. Safe to love.
Real Story: From Numb to Nourished
A couple—we’ll call them Kari and James—had two toddlers, a shared business, and no sex life. They loved each other, but Kari felt overwhelmed and emotionally numb. James felt rejected and confused.
Through individual somatic sessions and joint coaching, they each learned to recognize the body’s signals of shutdown and begin to reawaken slowly—with no pressure, just presence.
Kari said, “For the first time, I felt like I had space to be held—without needing to hold everything together.”
That space became the doorway back to intimacy.
