Deena Deemas
ABOUT
I specialize in trauma and relationship work.
I help people who are carrying the weight of difficult relationships, emotional abuse, birth trauma, loss, betrayal, and the kind of anxiety and exhaustion that doesn’t go away no matter what they try.
My approach is somatic, which means we don’t just talk about what happened. We work with how your system is still responding to it. The reactions you can’t control. The patterns you can’t break. The tension you can’t explain. That’s where I work. And that’s why things actually shift, not just in your understanding, but in how you feel.
I’m trained in Somatic Experiencing, founded by Dr. Peter Levine — one of the most respected trauma resolution methods in the world. My work is grounded in attachment theory, nervous system science, and years of working with people navigating real, complex pain.
I don’t do surface-level. I don’t do scripts. I meet you where you are — and I help you move through what’s been keeping you stuck. Virtually, from wherever you are in the world.
WHAT I WORK WITH
This work is for you if...
These aren’t diagnoses. They’re real situations that bring people here. If
something resonates — trust that.
Your relationship feels like a constant struggle. You’re not sure if it’s love or control, and you can’t tell if you’re overreacting or if something is really wrong.
DIFFICULT RELATIONSHIPS
Your birth experience left something unresolved. Everyone says you should be grateful. But something changed inside you and nobody seems to understand.
BIRTH & POSTPARTUM EXPERIENCES
Something happened to you that you’ve never fully talked about. Something that was done to you without your consent. You’ve carried it in silence and it’s affecting everything
SEXUAL TRAUMA & ABUSE
You’ve been through something terrifying — an accident, a medical crisis, a
moment where you couldn’t move or escape. It’s still with you.
SHOCK, ACCIDENTS &
MEDICAL TRAUMA
You keep ending up in the same kind of relationship — giving everything, losing
yourself, choosing people who take more than they give.
BOUNDARIES & REPEATING PATTERNS
You went through a breakup that shattered you. You didn’t see it coming. And no amount of “time heals” is making it better.
HEARTBREAK & BETRAYAL
Someone’s words got inside you — a partner, a parent, someone you trusted — and
now you hear them every time you look at yourself.
EMOTIONAL WOUNDS
You made a choice for your family that cost you something you’re still grieving. And
you can’t talk about it because everyone thinks you did the right thing.
FAMILY PRESSURE & UNSPOKEN GRIEF
Everything feels like too much. Your mind won’t stop. Small things set you off. You’re exhausted but you can’t rest.
ANXIETY, OVERWHELM & EXHAUSTION
Someone’s words got inside you — a partner, a parent, someone you trusted — and
now you hear them every time you look at yourself.
EMOTIONAL WOUNDS OR BULLYING
You don’t need to know exactly what’s wrong. You just need to recognize yourself somewhere on this page.
Sessions
How we work together
Virtual. From your space, your life, your reality. No waiting rooms.
1-on-1 Somatic Coaching
60 minutes
This is where real change happens. We work with what’s driving your reactions, your exhaustion, and your
patterns — not just the story around them. I use somatic techniques to help your nervous system process what talking alone can’t reach. Most clients feel a shift in the first session.
Couples Session
60 minutes
I work with couples
stuck in cycles they can’t break — the pursuing, the withdrawing, the fights that go in circles, the silence that feels worse. I don’t take sides. I see the pattern between you, and I help you both understand what’s driving it so you can start choosing each other differently.
HONEST TALK
I know what you're thinking.
I’m not sure I actually need this.
Maybe you don’t. But you’re here. And in my experience, people don’t end up on a page like this by accident. Something brought you. That’s worth paying attention to.
This isn’t something people like me do.
It wasn’t. Until it was. Some of the strongest people I work with are the ones who were told their whole life to never ask for help. Choosing to sit with someone who understands what you’re going through isn’t weakness. It’s the beginning of something different. That’s worth paying attention to.
What if it doesn’t work?
This isn’t talk therapy. We don’t go in circles. My
approach is somatic — we work with your nervous system, not just your thoughts. Most clients feel something shift in the first session. Not because I gave them advice. Because their system finally got to do what it’s been trying to do.
That’s worth paying attention to.
What if it makes things worse?
I’ve worked with people carrying sexual trauma, birth trauma, emotional abuse, grief, and PTSD. I know how to hold complexity. We never force anything. We build capacity first. You stay in control. Always...
“Most of my clients felt exactly the way you feel right now — unsure, skeptical,
wondering if this would be different. They started anyway.”
IN THEIR WORDS
What actually changed
I kept saying I was fine. I wasn’t fine. I’d been in the same painful cycle with every relationship and I couldn’t understand why. She helped me see it and change those cycles. That really took a huge weight off me.

Today held a special healing session that l've never in my wildest dreams thought of attending. Hosted by the lovely, talented and inspiring @deenadeemas with a group of empowering women sharing their stories and experiences on healing from trauma. If I can summarize this session in simple terms it would be: heal at your own pace and learn to redirect yourself back to either your old self or an upgraded version of yourself. Thank you Deena, the world could use more people like you.

After becoming a mother I felt this anxiety and depression take over. My birth was traumatic, my postpartum was messy and I couldn't settle and feel myself for the longest time. I'm so grateful for working with you. A lot has shifted, I feel more me than ever, I feel a lot of ease and I'm definitely learning how to manage my anxiety in a way that I never though was possible.

Before beginning my sessions, the thought of facing my trauma was paralyzing. Every session felt like a step forward in my healing. Somatic sessions brought me so much ease, allowing me to release lots of emotions and stories that I carried within me. Every time I sat with Deena I felt safe and held, and understood.
