You’ve done the therapy.
You’ve tried the date nights.
You’ve read the books.
You’ve talked about the issues.
And still… something isn’t landing.
You love each other.
You care for your family.
But when it comes to emotional and physical closeness—you feel stuck.
Disconnected. Shut down.
At Nuna Holistic Retreat Center in Sarasota, we help parents who are tired of trying to “fix” the relationship with more talking—because the real barrier is often in the body.
Your nervous systems need repair before your intimacy can return.
Why the Body Blocks Closeness (Even When You Want It)
Parenting is beautiful—but brutal on the body and nervous system.
Constant caregiving, sleep deprivation, stress, and emotional labor wire your system into hyper-vigilance—or full shutdown.
In this state, it’s nearly impossible to feel:
→ Softness
→ Desire
→ Openness
→ Safety in touch
Many parents we work with say:
“We love each other—but it feels awkward now.”
“I want to be close—but my body flinches or freezes.”
“We try to connect, but one or both of us shuts down.”
You are not broken.
You do not need to “try harder.”
You need a space where your bodies can finally release the protective patterns that are standing in the way of connection.
At Nuna, we specialize in Somatic Healing and Emotional Healing for parents who want to reconnect—not by forcing it, but by helping their bodies become safe enough to feel again.
Our sessions include:
Somatic Massage & Bodywork to release the physical tension and exhaustion of parenting
Somatic De-Armoring to gently dissolve shutdown and bracing patterns
Somatic Coaching for Relationships and Intimacy to rebuild safety, trust, and play between partners
Holistic Somatic Healing sessions to restore nervous system flexibility—so you can feel connection, desire, and joy again
You don’t need another communication tool.
You need nervous system repair.
A Family’s Story: Shifting From “Fixing” to Feeling
A couple of new parents came to us after 3 years of therapy.
“We’ve talked about everything,” they said.
“We understand each other—but we still can’t connect.”
Their bodies had adapted to the stress of parenting in survival mode—leaving no capacity for closeness or sensuality.
Through somatic healing, they slowly released layers of tension and shutdown.
Breath deepened.
Touch became welcome.
Playfulness returned.
She said:
“We didn’t need more tools—we needed to feel safe again.”
He said:
“For the first time since becoming parents, I’m not just functioning—I’m feeling connected to her again.”
Why Somatic Healing Is the Missing Piece
Parenting stress often wires both partners into chronic sympathetic activation (fight/flight/freeze)
The vagus nerve governs your capacity for relational safety and pleasure—but can’t engage under nervous system strain
Somatic healing restores this flexibility, allowing connection to become natural—not effortful
When your bodies shift, your relationship transforms.
You Don’t Have to Keep Trying Harder
You already love each other.
Let’s help your bodies remember how to feel it—deeply.
