At Mind Body Healing Collective in Scottsdale, one of the most common questions we hear is, “What kind of therapy is right for me?”
The truth is, there’s no single answer. Each person’s path to healing is unique. That’s why our team uses an integrated approach to therapy that supports your mind, body, and spirit.Our most requested therapies in our Scottsdale practice are Somatic Experiencing®, EMDR, Reiki, Breathwork, and Somatic Yoga. While each method has its own process, all share the same goal: helping your nervous system release stress, integrate past experiences, and restore a sense of balance and calm.
Somatic Experiencing® Therapy
Somatic Experiencing® is a body-based approach to healing trauma and chronic stress. Instead of focusing on re-telling painful stories, it helps you tune into the sensations and responses happening in your body right now.
Through gentle awareness and guided practices, you learn how to recognize tension, complete unfinished stress responses, and rebuild resilience.
Many women find Somatic Experiencing empowering because it brings them back into connection with their bodies in a safe, supported way. It is especially effective for trauma, anxiety, and feeling “stuck” in survival mode.

EMDR Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a structured, evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they lose their emotional intensity.
During EMDR sessions, guided eye movements or other forms of bilateral stimulation allow you to revisit experiences from a calmer, more grounded place. Over time, the emotional charge decreases, and the memory feels integrated rather than triggering.
EMDR is particularly helpful for post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and memories that feel frozen in time.

Reiki Healing
Reiki is a gentle, energy-based practice that supports relaxation and emotional release. Clients often describe it as a deep nervous system reset.
While Reiki is not a replacement for clinical therapy, it complements trauma work beautifully. When paired with Somatic or EMDR therapy, Reiki can help soften the body’s defenses, enhance calm, and promote deeper emotional integration.
Breathwork as an Integrative Therapy
Breathwork is one of the most accessible and powerful tools for nervous system regulation and trauma healing. At MBHC, we offer Trauma-Informed Breathwork sessions that help you use your breath to safely shift emotional energy, calm the body, and increase awareness.
Breathwork works by engaging both the body and the mind. Through guided breath patterns, you learn how to expand your capacity to feel, release tension, and connect with a deeper sense of calm. Many clients notice that breathwork helps them move through emotional blocks and feel more present and embodied.
It is an excellent complement to other therapies such as Somatic Experiencing, EMDR, Reiki, and Somatic Yoga. When combined, these approaches help regulate the nervous system on multiple levels — mental, physical, and energetic — creating a more complete path to healing.

Somatic Yoga
Somatic Yoga combines gentle movement, mindfulness, and nervous system awareness to help you reconnect with your body in safe and restorative ways. Unlike traditional yoga, the focus is not on perfecting poses but on noticing what your body needs and how it feels.
Through slow, intentional movement and breath awareness, you learn how to release tension, regulate your energy, and cultivate a sense of grounded presence. Somatic Yoga is ideal for those recovering from stress, trauma, or burnout who want to feel more at home in their bodies.
It can be practiced on its own or alongside therapy, breathwork, or Reiki to deepen relaxation and body awareness.

Integrating Therapies at Mind Body Healing Collective
You do not have to choose just one path. Our approach is integrative and personalized, which means we look at the whole picture of your life, goals, and nervous system.
Some clients start with Somatic Experiencing to reconnect with their bodies. Others begin with EMDR to reprocess trauma memories. Reiki, Breathwork, or Somatic Yoga may be introduced later to support deeper rest, emotional release, and integration.
Together, these therapies create a well-rounded foundation for long-term healing.
