House of Soma
REGULATE
A 6-week live somatic course
Thursdays, 29 October – 3 December 2026 · Live on Zoom
Understand your nervous system and build the capacity to stay present for more of your life: more pleasure, more intimacy, more aliveness.
Regulation, reframed
Regulation is not about becoming calm. It is about building capacity.
You may already know the tools: breathe, ground, slow down, rest. And still, in the moments that matter, it can be hard to know what your body actually needs.
Sometimes grounding helps. Sometimes it doesn’t. Sometimes rest restores you, and sometimes what looks like rest is collapse. REGULATE teaches you to tell the difference: to notice activation without being swept away, to work with your edge without flooding, and to build capacity through titration, in small doses your system can actually integrate.
More sensation.
More emotional range.
More pleasure.
More intimacy.
More rest.
More aliveness.
The aim is not a smaller, more controlled life. It is a nervous system with enough capacity to hold a bigger one.
The framework
The House of Soma Method
Four principles, in sequence. REGULATE is your foundation in each one.
1
Interrupt
Notice what is happening in your body before the old pattern takes over.
2
Understand
Learn to read your nervous system and what it is actually asking for.
3
Complete
Learn to notice and follow unfinished or inhibited impulses, slowly, without forcing release.
4
Participate
Bring more capacity into relationships, creativity, pleasure and everyday life.
Your nervous system isn’t in the way of an extraordinary life. It’s the doorway to it.
— Laura Emilia
The structure
The 6-week journey
Six Thursdays, 29 October – 3 December 2026.
1
Orientation + tracking
Recognise what is happening in your body, in real time.
2
Grounding + breath
Explore support and settling, and when grounding helps and when it doesn’t.
3
Capacity + resourcing
Build capacity through titration, resourcing and working with your edge.
4
Rest + yielding
Learn the difference between restorative rest and collapse.
5
Movement, impulse + completion
Explore what happens when a movement impulse is given enough space to unfold.
6
Co-regulation + integration
Bring the work into relationship and build a practice that is yours.
You’ll finish with a personal regulation map, a small set of practices you understand deeply, and a clearer sense of what kind of support actually helps you.

Is this for you
REGULATE is for you if…
You often feel overwhelmed, anxious, shut down or chronically “on.”
You understand a lot intellectually, but struggle to access it when you are activated.
You know regulation tools, but aren’t sure when or how to use them.
You want more capacity, not only for stress, but for pleasure, intimacy, creativity and connection.
Please note
This is not therapy
REGULATE is an educational and experiential somatic course. It is not psychotherapy, trauma treatment, crisis support, or a substitute for individual mental health care. Every practice is choice-based, and you will always be encouraged to work within your own capacity.
If you are looking for individual support, Laura also offers 1:1 somatic psychotherapy and embodiment sessions.
Your guide
About Laura
Laura Emilia Escudero is a somatic psychotherapist, movement therapist, bodyworker and yoga teacher with over a decade of experience in body-based practice.
Her work draws from Somatic Experiencing®, Hakomi, somatic movement therapy, expressive movement, bodywork, yoga and trauma-informed psychotherapy.
House of Soma was created as a space to explore the body not simply as something to regulate, but as a source of intelligence, expression, relationship and aliveness. REGULATE is the foundational doorway into that work.

What people say about working with Laura
"It is really rare to find someone like Laura to work with. I felt so comfortable being raw and vulnerable, facing wounds that even years of talk therapy hadn't touched. She always knew where my edge was, and how to meet it with softness, respect and authenticity."
Elisa Silbert — Somatic & trauma therapist
"Laura's ability to guide me into a space where I felt safe enough to tap into the somatic sensations of unprocessed trauma, and to compassionately re-orient and anchor me into my body, has been incredibly cathartic and empowering."
Jess Tan
"Laura has helped me open to new depths within myself, increase my capacity, and soften into the truth of who I am. She works in a gentle, reassuring and real way, unlike any other therapist I've experienced."

Grounded, felt-sense shifts
What might change?
Not an overnight transformation. Small, steady shifts in how you meet your life.
You may notice activation earlier, before it takes over.
You may have more choice in the moment before reacting.
You may recover more easily after intensity.
You may become more available for rest, pleasure, connection and movement.
