🌿 Small Business of the Week: E.A.S.E. Somatic Wellness & Coaching

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Burnt out on traditional therapy?

Leigh Polodna at E.A.S.E. Somatic Wellness & Coaching offers something different — and deeply effective.

Somatic therapy works by engaging the body’s own intelligence to help you rewire long-term stress patterns, calm your nervous system, and reconnect with the version of you that feels empowered, grounded, and fully alive.

If you’ve been cycling through anxiety, indecision, or emotional burnout — and nothing seems to stick — this is a space where real, embodied healing begins.

💬 As Leigh says…

“We want to help you feel and think like the version of yourself you want to be—and build the life you want.”
