Somatic Therapy to Increase Connection
You might be the person everyone describes as “having it together.”
Maybe you’ve spent years pushing through, being the strong one, meeting expectations, or staying busy enough that you haven’t had much space to listen to yourself.
Your mind knows something needs to change, while your body seems to be telling a different story. This is where therapy can help.
Let me introduce myself.
Meet Barbara
Hi, I’m Barbara Reynolds, LICSW, a Washington State licensed clinical social worker and the founder of B Grace Holistic Healing.
My approach to therapy has been shaped by a deep curiosity about the ways our bodies, emotions, relationships, identities, and environments influence one another. I believe that healing is not just about understanding why we feel the way we do—it’s also about learning how to listen to ourselves with greater compassion and curiosity.
Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work with individuals, children, and families across hospitals, clinics, schools, community mental health, and developmental health settings. These experiences have given me the opportunity to support people through anxiety, stress, trauma, identity development, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the many complexities that come with being human.
They have also reinforced something I deeply believe: there is usually a reason behind the ways we protect ourselves. The parts of us that overthink, strive, people-please, shut down, stay busy, or try to hold everything together often developed in response to something we experienced or needed to survive. Rather than judging those patterns, I believe we can become curious about them—and create space for something new.
My work today is especially focused on supporting women and BIPOC professionals who have spent a lot of time being capable, responsible, successful, or strong for the people around them. I love helping clients slow down enough to notice what is happening beneath the surface and reconnect with the parts of themselves that may have been overlooked along the way.
As a therapist, I strive to create a space that feels warm, collaborative, culturally responsive, and free from judgment. You don't need to show up to therapy with everything figured out. You don't have to perform wellness for me. And you don't have to have the “right” words for what you're experiencing. My hope is that our work together helps you develop a deeper trust in yourself—your body, your emotions, your needs, your values, and your ability to navigate what comes next.
My Approach
I work with women and BIPOC professionals who are ready to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and develop a deeper relationship with their bodies and emotions. Together, we explore the patterns that have helped you navigate life, while creating space for new ways of responding to stress, relationships, identity, and change.
My approach is holistic, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that your mind and body are deeply connected. I integrate somatic therapy and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you understand not only what you're thinking, but also what you're feeling and experiencing in your body. I’ll teach you how to slow down and become curious about what your body may be communicating. We explore the protective parts of you that developed for good reasons and consider whether those strategies still serve you today. I also draw from CBT, mindfulness, and culturally responsive approaches when helpful. Our work can be both practical and exploratory—giving you tools to navigate in the present while creating space to understand where and how your patterns developed.
I especially enjoy working with people who are navigating the pressure to be successful, strong, capable, or endlessly available to others. You don't have to wait until you're falling apart to seek support. Therapy can be a space to pause, acknowledge, and create a life that feels more aligned with who you are—not simply who you've learned you need to be.

These workshops offer an experiential introduction to somatic therapeutic tools designed to help participants build a deeper connection with themselves, regulate their nervous system, and understand how emotional experiences live in the body.
Rather than focusing only on insight or talking, somatic workshops help you slow down, notice internal experiences, and learn practical tools for working with stress, overwhelm, disconnection, and relational patterns.
Participants will learn:
How the nervous system impacts emotions and relationships
How stress and trauma show up in the body
Tools for grounding and nervous system regulation
How to identify activation, shutdown, and emotional overwhelm
Somatic awareness practices for daily life
How to increase self-connection and emotional presence
Ways to respond to triggers with more intention

These workshops are ideal for:
High-achieving individuals wanting to slow down
People feeling disconnected from themselves
Those experiencing stress or emotional overwhelm
Individuals wanting body-based coping tools
Therapists or helpers interested in somatic practices
