When You’ve Tried Everything and Still Don’t Feel Like Yourself
Somatic Experiencing therapy if you are tired of coping and ready to heal.
You may have arrived here with a story and perhaps with wounds that need attention.
Sometimes those stories don't have words, and the wounds are silent and invisible.
At Lotus Lane, I listen to the story your body has to tell. I help you tune into its wisdom so experiences can shift, and patterns that keep you stuck can loosen. Healing is a process of growth and cultivating resilience – it happens when you feel seen, supported, and connected.
This is a space to slow down, notice, and reconnect with yourself. Whether you're seeking relief from stress, trauma, or repeating patterns, it's a place to explore, heal, and cultivate resilience and growth at your own pace.
I'm a certified Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, trained to work with how the body holds experience, stress, and trauma. This training informs all of the work we do together at Lotus Lane.
Hi, I'm Nelofer.
I’m a therapist and certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner based in Panama City, Florida. I work with clients across the U.S. who are navigating trauma, chronic stress, and nervous system dysregulation — especially those who’ve already tried other routes and are still searching for relief.
My approach bridges counseling, movement, and body-based awareness. For years, I tried to think my way through healing. It wasn’t until I discovered somatic work that my symptoms began to change. After just a few sessions, I knew I had found the missing piece. Since then, I’ve been helping others access that same transformation.

Client Testimonials
Read what some of my clients and students have to say about my work!
"I was thrilled to be within driving distance to her, especially since she was the first SEP in the Panhandle of Florida.
I was excited and nervous for our first session. Nelofer put me at ease immediately. She not only is a kind, empathetic and skilled practitioner, but she is also extremely knowledgeable as well, without being pretentious (that is very important for me in building trust). I continue to be so grateful that not only is she only two hours away from me (the drive is worth it!), but she is the practitioner I have been wanting for a very long time. I've been in therapy for decades and am also a trauma therapist myself.
There has been much progress in my recovery, but Somatic Experiencing has put pieces together that I didn't know were missing--even with decades of working on myself. Nelofer is intuitive and patient and so easy to connect with. The therapeutic alliance is such an important container and within a few weeks I felt completely safe opening up very vulnerable parts of my life with her. The process feels like science magic and works in very subtle ways.
I'm so excited to continue this journey of integration with her. She is fully trustworthy and I highly recommend her to anyone who is just starting to process things that are unresolved, or people who have been at it for a long time and feel stuck in areas that don't seem to budge. I feel a re-energized hope as I move forward in life and she is a big part of helping that happen."
"No talk therapy can touch and open and release trauma with this particular kind of depth. And all of us have experienced the alarm system of trauma. It is a part of how we are wired for survival. In these often confusing and chaotic times, what could be more valuable than giving our bodies the tools they need to heal, to be grounded, joyful, clear minded and fully resourced to meet challenges.
The knowledge and training and heart that Nelofer brings to every session is always fresh, arising and flowing from the interactions in the moment. I come away feeling really open and tender and strong. There is a sweet spot where all these qualities come together. She is a well trained yogi and a well trained somatic therapist. What a combination! No cookie cutter solutions. I thought when I first met her in person before Covid-19, that she was a hidden treasure and an absolute gift to our community. Now that she is offering classes, group and individual sessions online, the sphere of blessing is greatly expanded. And so, many of us can learn the beautiful skills of resilience together."
Nelofer then addressed my anxiety; first through meditation and then through somatic experiencing. Inner peace takes focus. Nelofer is an effective guide that can help you reach that goal. I am a much calmer more content person thanks to Nelofer. I highly recommend her work to anyone experiencing physical or mental pain."
I enjoy practicing with Nelofer for many reasons but I think it is worth mentioning that she always provides detailed instruction and feedback, provides modifications, is able to make everyone feel comfortable and always creates a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Nelofer’s prices are also extremely fair for the expertise she brings to the table."
