Somatic Healing Modalities

Neo Emotional Release Sessions

Moving past traditional talk therapy to access, process, and release deep-rooted emotional stress stored within the physical body.

Sometimes during a platonic touch or cuddle session, we discover we require deeper, more concentrated therapeutic support than what a standard holding space can offer. Being touched and held with deliberate care can instinctively bring up old attachment wounds, forgotten memories around touch, or hidden longings for foundational safety.

Whether you are dealing with everyday life hurdles, social anxieties, or mental health challenges, a Neo Emotional Release (NER) session serves as a beautifully concentrated addition to your somatic routine or as a profound stand-alone healing practice.

What to Expect During Your Session

01. History & Alignment

The first 30 minutes are dedicated entirely to processing your personal history, evaluating emotional landscape triggers, and aligning on targeted goals for the practice.

02. Somatic Release Integration

Moving into the physical practice, we gently move past old mental patterns using a curated blend of focused touch, expressive breathing, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and vocal guidance.

What Clients Say

“Hi Amanda. Thank you for the inspiring Neo Emotional Release (NER ) session the other day. I have to say I didn’t know what to expect before we started. I was really surprised by how deep we went into my childhood and how my inner child still carried the wounds of the past, even after all these years. I am happy to say that I feel I released a few demons that were still holding on. Thank you for your help.”

Janice Lee

“I did an NER session with Amanda because I know her to be a very caring and gentle soul who has done a lot of her own healing work. I trusted her to explore something new after many years of therapy and various healing work.

I didn’t know what to expect and had some fear around how much emotion might surface throughout the session. What I thought might be challenging was to be able to feel the deeper emotions and to be able to release them in the presence of another person.

I felt held and supported during the session which allowed me to feel some very hard emotions. What was most impactful for me was feeling safe to have someone else witness my emotions and having Amanda right next to me guiding me along with some physical touch on certain points of my body, which helped me feel and know that I could feel safe and held with my emotions. The session has helped me to see that I need to do more work with my nervous system and safe touch to help me learn how to regulate my emotional state.

I would recommend anyone considering this work to book a consult with Amanda and give it a try to experience the benefits it can have for you.”
