It helped for a while. But the tension always came back.
When stress hits, you reach for your phone or throw yourself into work. Talk therapy, meditation apps, breathing exercises... It helped temporarily, but the tension always returns.
That's because your nervous system has learned to stay alert. And you don't unlearn that by thinking about it. The body asks for a different kind of attention.
My method
Activate, Regulate, Liberate
Somatic Experiencing® was developed by Dr Peter Levine and rests on decades of research into how the body processes stress and trauma. The method integrates insights from Dr Stephen Porges' Polyvagal Theory, which explains how our nervous system automatically shifts between safety, activation and freeze.

What clients say
Working with Mederic felt safe and grounding. I was surprised to discover how powerful it can be to keep your eyes open while processing emotions. Mederic brings a gentle, optimistic presence and clearly knows what he is doing. Highly recommended!
The Somatic Experiencing sessions helped me connect in a deep, direct way with unconscious tension in my body. Thanks to the calm and safe guidance, I could notice and release tension layer by layer. Every session brought more relaxation, clarity and presence. I am sincerely grateful and wholeheartedly recommend this guidance.

How little it takes to come to rest. How you read me, bring me into the now, and show that everything that comes up is allowed to be there. It is softness, always gentleness again, that lets us open and bloom and grows our resilience.

Frequently asked questions
What exactly is Somatic Experiencing?
Somatic Experiencing helps your body release stuck stress and tension. When we go through something stressful or shocking, energy can "get stuck" in our nervous system. This can show up as chronic tension, anxiety or physical complaints.
How does it work? We direct our attention to what your body feels: warmth, tingling, tension or relaxation. By consciously making contact with these sensations, your nervous system can bring itself back into balance. Your body often knows exactly what it needs: trembling, breathing deeply, or making a certain movement.
For example: tension in your shoulders receives gentle attention, and the body starts to relax by itself. These are signs that your nervous system is recovering.
It is a gentle, natural way to help your body heal without having to retell the whole story.
Does this really work online?
Yes. Somatic guidance is about awareness, not physical manipulation. Being in your own safe space actually helps. Sessions in the Leuven area and online are both possible.
How many sessions do I need?
It differs per person. Some people notice change after 2 to 3 sessions. For deeper patterns I recommend the 6-session package.
Can it help with anxiety, stress, sleep problems or chronic pain?
Yes, Somatic Experiencing can be supportive for all of these, because it helps your nervous system regulate and release tension.
Is it normal to feel physical sensations during a session?
Yes, that is very normal. You may feel trembling, warmth, tingling or relaxation. These are signs that your nervous system is regulating.
I'm sensitive. Won't this be too intense?
We use small steps and go at your pace. Your sensitivity is a gift.
