SOMATIC THERAPY · LEUVEN, BELGIUM & ONLINE · SESSIONS IN NL · EN · FR
Body-based therapy for those who never truly come to rest
Personal sessions for burnout, anxiety, trauma and nervous system regulation. We work directly with what your body is holding, always at a pace that stays within your capacity.
No pressure. Just a chance to sense whether somatic work is right for you.
When stress hits, you reach for your phone or throw yourself into work. Talk therapy, meditation apps, breathwork… They helped for a while, but the tension always comes back.
That's not a lack of effort. Your nervous system has learned to stay alert, and you don't unlearn that by thinking about it. The body is asking for a different kind of attention.
MY METHOD
Activate · Regulate · Liberate
Based on Somatic Experiencing® and the Polyvagal theory
Somatic Experiencing® was developed by dr. Peter Levine and is backed by decades of research into how the body processes stress and trauma. The method integrates insights from the Polyvagal Theory by dr. Stephen Porges, which explains how our nervous system automatically shifts between safety, activation, and freezing.

From stress to rest: Learn to calm your nervous system, even under high pressure.
Concrete tools: Work with practical tools such as breathing, grounding, and orientation.

"Working with Mederic felt safe and grounding. I was surprised to discover how powerful it can be to keep the eyes open while processing emotions. Mederic brings a gentle, optimistic presence and clearly knows what he's doing. Highly recommended!"

"The Somatic Experiencing sessions helped me connect with unconscious tension in my body in a deep, direct way. Through the calm and safe guidance, I was able to notice and release tension layer by layer. Each session brought more relaxation, clarity, and presence. I am genuinely grateful for this and wholeheartedly recommend this guidance."

"How little is needed to find calm. How you read me, bring me into the now, and show me that everything that arises is allowed to be there. It is softness — always gentleness — that allows us to bloom and grow our resilience."

Frequently asked questions
-
Somatic experiencing helps your body release stuck stress and tension. When we experience something stressful or shocking, energy can get "trapped" in our nervous system. This can manifest as chronic tension, anxiety, or physical complaints.
How does it work? We focus our attention on what your body feels - warmth, tingling, tension or relaxation. By consciously connecting with these sensations, your nervous system can rebalance itself. Your body often knows exactly what it needs: shaking, deep breathing, or making a certain movement.
For example: Tension in your shoulders receives gentle attention, causing the body to naturally begin relaxing. These are signs that your nervous system is healing itself.
It's a gentle, natural way to help your body heal without having to retell the whole story.
