Rooted in Love and
Healed through Connection
Get to know me...
Tinneca Fortin : SEP, LRT, LM, LMT
Somatic Trauma Therapist
My first career, as a Midwife, began over 20 years ago when I was inspired by the birth of my first son. Hundreds of times since, I've witnessed the incredible miracle of life and the resilience of the human spirit.
Through my years as a midwife, I was also able to bear witness to something I never expected—the impact that unhealed stress and trauma can have on the mind, body, and spirit. I began to notice how unprocessed trauma lives in the body, shaping how we move, feel, and relate to the world around us. This recognition marked a turning point in my life’s path, leading me into the study of trauma, embodiment, and healing.
My work is now rooted in somatic stress and trauma healing, including Somatic Experiencing, ecotherapy, somatic bodywork, expressive arts, and sandplay. My learning is ongoing and alive, and at the heart of all I offer is a deep respect for the body’s innate intelligence and its capacity to heal when given safety, time, and attentive presence.
About ten years ago, as I began to shift away from midwifery and lean more fully into my somatic work, my husband and I founded an outdoor nature school on our organic farm and forest land. Over the years, I witnessed nature’s wisdom support nervous system regulation and healing in children of all ages and temperaments. Time in nature supported them in understanding and building boundaries, deepened curiosity and empathy, and cultivated self-awareness.
Spending each day outside with them and tending to the farm, I realized my own body had come into a deeper sense of ease and reflection. This showed me that our bodies, like the earth, carry a deep capacity for healing—if we are willing to slow down, tune in, and truly listen. This is what brought my somatic trauma healing practice into connection with nature: nature as a co-healer.
Today, my practice lives in and alongside a sanctuary rooted in nature—where sessions may unfold indoors in a cozy cabin or outside on the farm or in the forest. It depends on what the body calls for.
If you're curious if this practice could support healing for you or someone you love, feel free to call or text for a 15 minute consult or schedule an appointment.
With Love and Gratitude

Step OUT to
my office...
Hi! My name is Tinneca and I'm so honored you've found me. My practice is quite different from traditional talk therapy in an office; I offer a deeply compassionate approach that supports full body healing while keeping nature in mind. This is called 'somatic ecotherapy.'
Somatic ecotherapy is a holistic approach that weaves together the wisdom of the body, the beauty of nature, and the depth of the human experience. It's a practice that invites you to tune into your bodily sensations, emotions, and intuition, while immersed in the natural world.
In essence, somatic ecotherapy gives you access to the innate healing processes that unwind stress and trauma in the most natural environment possible.
