For years, trauma affected my body in ways I didn’t fully understand—until somatic trauma therapy changed everything. Through this work, the neuropathy in my feet has nearly disappeared, my nervous system is regulated, and I’ve learned to overcome triggers that once controlled me. I never expected such profound healing, but as I released stored trauma, my body and mind transformed. I truly believe God has used this therapy to restore me, giving me the freedom to live with peace, resilience, and a renewed sense of wholeness.

Alicia and Temple Gates have been key in my healing journey. After multiple traumatic events in a short period of time the physical, emotional, and mental symptoms I was experiencing were overwhelming. The relief I felt after just one session was monumental!! Knowing that there was hope for the “invisible” challenges I was facing broughtso much peace and allowed me to feel hope that I hadn’t felt in a long time. Alicia is one of the kindest people I know and never once made me feel anything but loved, safe, and accepted in every single session.

When I first came to Temple Gates, I was in a place of deep brokenness. I felt disconnected from myself, weighed down by years of emotional pain, and unsure how to move forward. From the very beginning, my somatic trauma therapist met me with compassion, patience, and an unwavering commitment to seek the will of God in everything we did.
This wasn’t just therapy—it was healing led by the Holy Spirit. Through somatic work, I began to understand how trauma was stored in my body and how to gently release it. With each session, I could feel God using this process to restore parts of me I thought were lost forever. My therapist created a safe space where I could process old wounds, let go of shame, and reconnect with the truth of who I am in Christ.
The transformation has been nothing short of miraculous. I’ve experienced real growth—spiritually, emotionally, and physically. Where there was once fear, there is now peace. Where there was once confusion, there is now clarity. And where there was once survival, there is now freedom.
Temple Gates has been a turning point in my journey, and I am forever grateful for the healing, wisdom, and godly guidance I’ve received here.

”I remember one session connecting to what I was feeling and attuning to new sensations in my body – I could be present and be with the pain instead of flying away and keeping busy in my head. My practitioner held space for me so well – she kept me focused on finding my voice/sound – when I disconnected, she carried me back to the present so I wouldn’t disconnect. I loved my practitioner and look forward to doing more sessions.”
