User friendly guide
This is a practical guide designed to help readers reduce stress, heal trauma, and regulate their nervous systems through body-based techniques. With over 70 illustrated exercises, the book emphasises accessibility and simplicity—requiring just 10 minutes a day to engage in somatic healing practices like breathwork, grounding, and vagus nerve activation. I liked the fact that it is open to all ages. I liked the tone of how the writer spoke to the audience. How there were visuals to support the understanding and it was SIMPLE and compassionate. Open to anyone seeking to reconnect with their body and manage stress through gentle, daily practices. Great stuff with freebies too :).

Somatic Therapy Workbook | Just 10 Mins a Day (Book 2 of Heal, Feel, Thrive)
by Ava Walters
I’ve read Ava Walters before and enjoyed her work, so I picked this up — and it didn’t disappoint.
This workbook is exactly what I’ve been looking for. The premise is simple but powerful: “This book helps you decipher your body's messages to you. You'll explore why your body holds tension and how your past shapes your present.”
Right now I’m in a very similar place to where the author was when she discovered ACT and somatic therapy — moving from burnout into what feels like a full-blown breakdown. That made the material resonate even more.
What I loved most:
Straightforward & accessible — easy to understand, not wordy or overwhelming.
Practical structure — unlike so many “workbooks” that are just long lectures, this one is full of actual exercises, prompts, and space to write.
Supportive tone — the resources, tips, and reflections make it feel like the author is guiding you gently back to yourself.
It’s packed with practical tools to calm your nervous system, ease body pain, and reconnect with yourself. I especially appreciate how much it feels like a real workbook I can use daily, not just read.
If you’re curious about somatic therapy, or if you’re feeling stressed, burned out, or disconnected from your body, this is a fantastic place to start.

Alright I guess
I liked that it was a quick read but other than that I didn't like it too much so probably wouldn't reco it again.
