Somatic

Therapy & Coaching

Welcome.

You are in the right place if…

  • You identify as a highly sensitive person, seeking peace, freedom and a way of living that is aligned with how you are wired as a human being.

  • 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, skin rashes, sleep disruption, TMJ problems, chronic illness, 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.

I’m so glad you’re here.

I’m Lua Zawacki, Somatic Practitioner & Trauma Healing Specialist based in Tempe, Arizona.

I help women with highly sensitized nervous systems to heal from trauma and reconnect with their core selves, so they can lead peaceful, joyful and fulfilling lives. 

My approach to therapy and coaching is body-centered, trauma-sensitive and informed by more than 10 years of experience.

​​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 every human being is meant to be at peace.

As a Somatic Practitioner,

I help you resource the intelligence of your body for healing and transformation.

  • I support you to regulate your autonomic nervous system so you can respond to life with more ease and enjoyment.

  • I support you to heal from trauma that may be getting in the way of you embodying the life you long to live.

  • I help you shift out of patterns of thought and behavior that are draining your life, and into new ways of being and doing that are centered on freedom and fulfillment.

  • I help you identify your body's unique cues and resource them to make more life-enhancing decisions.

  • I meet you where you are, as perfect and whole right now.

  • I hold space for you to process difficult emotions in a way that does not overwhelm your system.

  • I do not need to know about your past in order to be able to help you shift into new ways of being and doing that are more life enhancing for you today.

“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.”

Gianna

“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.”

“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.”

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!”

You are meant to be at peace.
