Somatic EMDR
Body-based nervous system coaching for women, based in Arizona and available online across the U.S.
Somatic EMDR is a body-based approach to nervous system healing that integrates bilateral stimulation with somatic and emotional processing, so unresolved stress and trauma can release through the body, not just the mind.
For the woman who's exhausted from holding it all together.
You've done the journaling. The podcasts. The mindset work. The therapy. The self-help books.
And your body still reacts like the danger never ended.
You overthink everything. You feel emotionally flooded one minute and completely numb the next. You can't relax even when life is technically "fine." You replay conversations. Brace for worst-case scenarios. Shut down. People-please. Disconnect from yourself.
You're stuck in patterns you understand logically but cannot seem to change.
That's because healing isn't only mental. Your nervous system remembers what your mind tried to move past. Trauma, stress, and emotional overwhelm don't just live in your thoughts. They live in your body.
Somatic EMDR helps your body finally catch up to the reality that you survived.
What Is Somatic EMDR?
Somatic EMDR combines body-based nervous system work with bilateral stimulation and guided emotional processing, so unresolved experiences can move through your body instead of staying stuck inside it.
This work supports:
Nervous system regulation
Emotional overwhelm and reactivity
High-functioning anxiety
Burnout recovery
Stored stress responses
Body awareness and embodiment
Anxiety and hypervigilance
Chronic survival patterns
Shutdown, freeze, and disconnection
Unresolved emotional pain
Rather than forcing you to relive anything, this approach builds safety, stability, and capacity first.
Your body isn't the problem. Your nervous system has adapted to protect you. Now it gets to learn something different.
This Work May Help If You:
Constantly feel "on edge"
Can't shut your brain off
Live with high-functioning anxiety: outwardly capable, inwardly exhausted
Struggle with anxiety, panic, or burnout
Feel stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown patterns
Feel emotionally reactive one minute and numb the next
Overanalyze conversations and relationships
Feel disconnected from your body
Experience chronic stress, fatigue, or burnout
Feel exhausted even when life looks fine from the outside
Have trouble feeling safe, calm, or grounded
Keep repeating the same emotional patterns
Struggle with people-pleasing or boundaries
Carry unresolved grief, shame, fear, or pain
Understand your patterns intellectually but still can't shift them
Who This Is For
This work is especially supportive for high-functioning women who:
Have spent years taking care of everyone else
Look successful and capable on the outside while struggling internally
Are emotionally exhausted from constantly being "the strong one"
Feel disconnected from themselves
Are tired of surviving and ready to actually feel different
Want body-based work, not just another conversation about their problems
Want deeper healing without feeling pathologized
You don't need a single, identifiable traumatic event to benefit from this work. Years of stress, emotional suppression, self-abandonment, relational wounds, and chronic dysregulation leave their mark too. And most women have no idea how deeply it's shaping their daily life.
My Approach
I'm Danielle Young: Master Certified Life Coach, trauma-informed yoga teacher, Certified Nervous System Trainer, and Somatic EMDR-trained coach based in Arizona. I work with women across the globe through online coaching sessions.
I bring Somatic EMDR into my coaching work, along with nervous system regulation, somatic practices, self-inquiry, grounding, and body awareness. Every session meets you where your body actually is.
You can work with me through standalone Somatic EMDR packages, or as an integrated component of my signature coaching program for deeper nervous system support.
Every session is tailored to your pace, your capacity, and what your nervous system is actually ready for. Because healing doesn't happen through force. It happens through safety.
You Don't Have to Keep Living in Survival Mode
Your body isn't broken.
Your nervous system adapted the best way it knew how.
Now it gets the chance to experience something different:
More calm. More safety. More connection. More self-trust. More capacity.
More ease inside your own body.
You deserve support that goes deeper than mindset alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Somatic EMDR the same as EMDR therapy?
No. EMDR therapy is a clinical mental health treatment provided by licensed therapists. Somatic EMDR is a body-based, nervous-system-focused approach I integrate into coaching. It draws on bilateral stimulation as a tool within a somatic, embodiment-based framework, but it is not therapy and is not a substitute for clinical mental health treatment.
How is this different from talk therapy?
Talk therapy works primarily through insight and conversation. Somatic EMDR works with the body: your nervous system, sensations, breath, and emotional responses. Stress and trauma patterns live in the body, not just the mind. Many women come to this work after years of talk therapy saying some version of: "I understand everything. I just can't seem to change it." That's the gap this work is designed for.
Do I need a specific traumatic event to benefit from this work?
No. Most of the women I work with don't identify with the word "trauma" at all. Years of chronic stress, emotional suppression, self-abandonment, relational wounds, caregiving without rest, or simply being "the strong one" leave nervous system imprints, even without a single identifiable event. If your body feels stuck in fight, flight, freeze, or shutdown, this work can help.
Can I do this online, or do I need to be in Arizona?
Even though I am in Arizona, I only offer virtual coaching sessions for women across the globe. Somatic EMDR translates well to virtual work. Sessions are designed for that format from the start.
What's the difference between coaching and therapy?
They're related but not the same. Therapy is clinical mental health treatment: diagnosis, conditions, licensed providers. Coaching is forward-focused work that helps you build awareness, regulate your nervous system, and create change. I'm a Master Certified Life Coach trained in Somatic EMDR, not a licensed therapist. If you need clinical care, please work with a therapist. Coaching can complement that work beautifully. It just doesn't replace it.
How long does it take to feel different?
Honestly, it depends. Every nervous system has its own timeline. Some women feel meaningful shifts within the first few sessions. Others need more time to build safety and capacity before deeper work can happen. This isn't about speed. It's about going at the pace your body can actually integrate. Forcing a faster timeline is often what got many of us stuck in the first place.
Who is this not a good fit for?
This work isn't right for someone in active crisis, managing untreated severe mental illness, or looking for a quick fix. If you're already working with a therapist and stable in that care, Somatic EMDR coaching can be a powerful complement. If you're not stable enough for coaching yet, please prioritize clinical support first. This work will still be here when the foundation is in place.
A Note Before We Begin
Coaching is not therapy. I'm a Master Certified Life Coach trained in Somatic EMDR, not a licensed mental health professional. This work is not a substitute for therapy, psychiatric care, or medical treatment, and it's not designed to diagnose, treat, or cure any mental health condition.
If you're in crisis, experiencing severe trauma symptoms, or managing a serious mental health condition, please work with a licensed therapist or psychiatrist. I'm glad to support you alongside that care once you're stable. But coaching is meant to complement clinical work, not replace it.

What People Are Saying
"Working with Danielle was magic for me, both personally and professionally. The skills, perspective, and practices I learned, I still embrace. They continue to help me get out and stay out of my own way. I’m more free now to see what isn’t productive, give up my circling in spaces that keep me unproductive, and, instead, put into practice what brings me the results I really want."
-Ruthie S.
"Danielle's way of being openly loving and compassionately insightful has helped me a great deal! She has held space for me in darkness and walked me through acceptance and towards my light!

-Candice K.
Danielle Young was absolutely amazing at the Reclaim Your Power Virtual Summit. With grace and clarity, she reminded us that while we can’t control everything in life, we can choose how we respond—and that surrender is part of reclaiming our power. Her message brought such a grounded perspective on control, acceptance, and the power that lives within each of us. Danielle was poised, polished, and truly impactful. Her presence was calming, her insight profound, and her words left a lasting impression. I’m so grateful for what she shared with us.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this therapy?
No. My work is coaching and trauma-informed support, not therapy. Through the Inspired Action Method™, I help women create lasting change using Somatic EMDR, nervous system regulation, breath work, and self-inquiry. If you are looking for clinical mental health treatment, therapy may be a better fit.
How do I know if coaching is right for me?
Coaching may be a good fit if you are ready for support, reflection, and action, and you want help moving forward in a meaningful and lasting way. It is especially helpful for women who feel stuck in survival mode and want to rebuild confidence, self-trust, and clarity.
How do I book you to speak?
You can use the speaking inquiry form or contact me directly through the website. I speak for nonprofits, corporations, women’s groups, and communities that want practical, meaningful conversations around healing, resilience, confidence, and transformation.
Can I work with you if I’m not sure what I need yet?
Yes. You do not need to have everything figured out before reaching out. If you know you want support but are still unclear on the best path, we can start with a conversation and determine what kind of coaching or next step makes the most sense.
Who do you work with?
I work with women who are navigating trauma, self-doubt, people-pleasing, life transitions, and the desire to reconnect with themselves in a deeper way. I also work with organizations and communities through speaking engagements focused on healing, resilience, confidence, and growth.
Do you offer virtual sessions?
Yes. I offer virtual coaching sessions, which allows me to support women wherever they are. Specific details about availability and scheduling can be shared when you reach out.
How do I get started?
The best place to start is by booking a Clarity Call or reaching out through the contact form. From there, we can explore what kind of support you need, whether coaching or speaking is the right fit, and what the next step looks like. If you're ready to go all-in, try one of the packages on the Services page.
Do you work with minors?
Not usually. Because this work is virtual right now, I am only accepting ages 18+.
