Somatic coach & writer

Sofia is a somatic coach and writer. She spent years in talk-only spaces before realising how much of being stuck lives in the body, not the story. She writes for Tuun about the felt sense of functional freeze and numbness, the slow work of feeling safe again, and the small, repeatable practices that help a guarded nervous system settle. Her north star: nothing forced, nothing that asks you to push through.

  • A Black woman with dark natural curls sits on the edge of a sofa in a quiet living room, looking down with her hands loosely in her lap and a still, switched-off expression, evoking the flat, going-through-the-motions feeling of emotional numbness.

    What a nervous system reset actually is (and what it isn't)

    A nervous system reset isn't a 30-second viral trick. It's small signals, repeated daily, that move your body out of a stuck state and back toward steady.
