In your body lives the possibility of healing.
I offer nervous system-informed touch and somatic support for people navigating trauma, disconnection, and chronic stress.
Welcome, I’m Audrey Burke.
I am a licensed massage therapist, Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, and Transforming Touch® Practitioner specializing in trauma resolution and nervous system regulation.
I work with adults who are navigating the long-term effects of developmental trauma, chronic stress, high sensitivity, or a lifelong sense of disconnection from their bodies.
I bring together touch, presence, and a deep understanding of the nervous system to support you in feeling safer in your body and more at home in the world.
I am based in Durham, North Carolina and also work with clients virtually worldwide.
What I Offer
Somatic Experiencing®
A body-based approach to resolving trauma, stress, and shock and restoring regulation to the nervous system. Sessions are gentle, relational, and paced to support integration and capacity.
Transforming Touch®
Transforming Touch is a body-based, trauma-informed therapy by Dr. Stephen Terrell that uses gentle touch and presence to help regulate the nervous system, heal developmental trauma, and build somatic trust.
Is This Work For You?
People often find their way here when they’ve tried so many things and still don’t feel regulated or connected to themselves.
You may be a good fit for this work if:
Your nervous system feels stuck on “on” (hypervigilance, anxiety) or “off” (shutdown, numbness) most of the time
You’re experiencing mysterious health syndromes like IBS, chronic fatigue, chronic Lyme, long-haul COVID, chronic pain, insomnia, or autoimmune conditions
You’ve tried talk therapy but still feel dysregulated or disconnected from your body
You long to feel safety in your body again — and to access more pleasure, connection, and aliveness
You’re wanting to feel more agency, clearer boundaries, and a stronger sense of what’s yours and what isn’t
