You are seeking relief from anxiety, over-functioning, and exhaustion.
You are seeking relief from physical symptoms in the body, such as pain, digestive issues, sleep disruption, TMJ problems, autoimmune disease or syndromes that don’t seem to improve with traditional medical intervention.
You feel emotionally stuck or numb and want support processing your emotions.
You want help getting out of your head and into your self-trusting, intuitive guidance system.
You are aware that you have an autonomic nervous system that is organized around a Fawn response.
You are new to somatic work or you have been doing somatic work for awhile and are ready to take the next step on your journey into personal and professional wellbeing and fulfillment.

I’m Lua Zawacki, Somatic Practitioner and founder of The Somatic Healing Garden™.
If you resonated with anything on the list above, then please know, you are not alone. Over the past 12 years, I have helped hundreds of women like yourself to heal from trauma, resolve chronic symptoms and finally live in peace - without having to go into the stories of their past.
My work is founded on the belief that the body is innately intelligent; grounded in the neuroscience of the autonomic nervous system; and uplifted in the perspective that now is the time for the most sensitive humans to find peace - and our healing is our justice.
My hope is that you find a home for healing, understanding, connection, expression and empowerment here, whether you are new to somatic healing or have been walking this path for awhile.
“Experiencing safety is the treatment, cultivating safety is the work.”

Gianna
“It is crazy to reflect on where my nervous system and overall mental, emotional, and spiritual health was a year ago. Before seeing Lua my nervous system was in constant fight or flight / freeze mode and I was experiencing extreme mental breakdowns, confusion, and thought that I had BPD. After working with Lua and understanding the nervous system, I was able to rewire myself and approach life with a completely new lens. I now feel so much more in control of my emotions, thoughts, and life. I feel a sense of safety and understanding of my body that I never felt before.”
Jade
“If you feel burned out of traditional therapy and are desperate for a new approach, you need to work with her! In the few months I've spent with her, I've learned more about myself than years with other counselors/therapists.”
Selah
“I began to research “what is wrong with me” and discovered somatic therapy. I determined I was in a chronic freeze response, and after a few months of trying to heal myself, I chose to seek help. Six months after starting somatic work, I am no longer burnt out and exhausted. I’m no longer in pain 24/7 because my nervous system isn’t at war with me. I can communicate through difficult situations without my body burning up and continuing to burn for the next week until I’m numb. I’m happy. I’m content. I’m confident in who I am and what I’ve chosen, and I no longer feel pressured to succumb to the expectations of everyone around me. I’ve become more gracious, my empathy has grown, and my relationship with my family has improved immeasurably.”
Marci
“I have found Somatic Therapy, specifically with Lua, an answer in my quest for healing. It is propelling me forward to my goals of health more deeply and more quickly than three years of talk therapy. I have such high respect and admiration for Lua. I have never experienced inner work that has been so helpful.”
Tess
“I had many years of such intense bodily sensations that I was in and out of the ER and going to a different specialist seemingly every couple of months. I was sure that I had an autoimmune condition or issues with my heart. And every time a doctor told me that I was ‘fine,’ I remember feeling such intense frustration. There was no way I was ‘fine,’ when I couldn’t engage with anything in life and was experiencing intense pain or spasticity in my body nearly every day. Lua’s given my mind and body the ability to come to terms with so much stored trauma and tension, and, ultimately, let go of it.”
EL
“When traditional therapy failed, I knew I needed a change. I was initially unsure, but after 2-3 sessions with Lua, I noticed a shift. I felt more at ease, and I wasn't fixated on the past. Lua has been pivotal in my growth and healing. She truly listens, creating an environment of growth and lasting change. Lua is not just a therapist; she's a life-changer. Thank you, Lua!”
