Brittany Piper — Somatic Coaching

About Brittany

Brittany Piper is a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner and speaker who helps trauma survivors heal through the body. Her own recovery from complex trauma — including foster care, losing a sibling, and surviving sexual assault — led her to somatic healing after years of talk therapy left her feeling stuck and disconnected.

With over 10,000 hours of hands-on work across 18 years and three continents, Brittany integrates Somatic Experiencing®, polyvagal theory, Internal Family Systems, and attachment theory into her work. Her core belief: trauma lives in the nervous system, not just the story, and lasting healing happens body-first — not through rehashing the past.

She has facilitated trauma-informed programs for the U.S. Military, the Department of Justice, universities, and crisis centers in Uganda, South Africa, India, and Mexico. A nationally recognized advocate on sexual violence prevention, she speaks to 30,000+ people annually and is the author of Body-First Healing, a somatic roadmap to trauma recovery.

Reviews & Testimonials

“Britt, you have personally changed my life in so many ways. You made me feel seen, valued, and that I mattered right from the beginning.”

Samantha S. From website

“I'm so grateful for this course and the community, especially Britt! It's truly changed my life and shifted so much for me. For the first time in almost 40 years, I finally feel safe and am truly healing instead of just trying to heal.”

Sara H. From website

“One of the biggest things for me was that you didn't treat me like I was crazy. So many doctors dismiss your experience, but you made me feel seen. Thank you for being a light.”
