Healing Through Mindful Movement
Movement therapy is a holistic, body-based approach that integrates physical movement with emotional and psychological healing. By using intentional movement, body awareness, and somatic techniques, movement therapy helps individuals reconnect with their bodies, process emotions, and develop healthier patterns of coping and self-expression.
At New England Therapy Alliance, movement therapy is offered as a supportive and empowering modality for individuals seeking deeper mind–body connection, trauma-informed care, and nervous system regulation.
What Is Movement Therapy?
A somatic therapy that recognizes that emotions, stress, and trauma are stored not only in the mind, but also in the body.
Guided movement and embodied explorations help clients access insights beyond talk therapy.
Helpful for individuals who feel stuck, disconnected, or overwhelmed, or who struggle to put their experiences into words.
Improve emotional resilience, self-awareness, and overall well-being.

Gentle, guided movement + stretching
Breath + grounding exercises
Posture + body awareness practices
Somatic tracking of sensations + emotions
