About Humming Rock Healing
Humming Rock Healing is an integrative, holistic medical practice that incorporates modalities for nervous system regulation to support lasting, transformative healing.
​
Becca has been a Primary Care Physician and caring for those with Infectious Diseases in the Boroughs of NYC for over a decade. Throughout her career, Dr. Summers’ recognized the large impact that difficult life experiences, generational trauma, and chronic stress have on physical and emotional disease, behavior, as well as relationship to self and to others. These factors are a driving force and cornerstone contributor to one's life experience and to overall health. And even when recognized, these factors are not sufficiently addressed when approaching medical conditions. Without ability to address these factors, Becca felt like she’d hit a wall with being able to support her patients the ways she wanted to. Humming Rock Healing aims to bridge this gap in medical treatment.
Somatic Experiencing® (SE®) is a highly effective and transformative approach to bring the autonomic nervous system into better regulation and to resolve the effects of trauma and stress on the body system. Dr. Summers weaves components of SE® into all of her medical care while bringing in other tools for nervous system regulation and myofascial support for the body.
There are many ways to heal and this path will be unique to the person. Her goal is for patients to heal with ease, grace, and support.
Her patients have been as diverse as this beautiful city has to offer and this has informed her sense of humanity. She honors the body's innate wisdom to heal and recognizes that Nature provides her own medicines. When healing from chronic illnesses, navigating challenging experiences, and healing from trauma there is an aspect of spirituality that often presents; she holds space for this and honor for this process.

Humming Rock Healing
The name is an homage to a beach named Humarock in Massachusetts near my childhood home.
​
When I was young, this beach was covered with sand and at low tide, there were often tidal pools ripe for curious exploration and the wonderment of childhood. Over the years, the harsh coastal storms transformed the beach to a very rocky coast with scattered areas of sandy beach. This rocky environment lent new gifts and medicine to be experienced.
​
In the summer of 2021, I escaped NYC while the delta variant of COVID-19 was surging and in search of my own healing from the shock PTSD that I was experiencing. In the early mornings, before my then infant daughter would awaken, I would go to meet the calm, cold waters at Humarock Beach and float….. Soon thereafter, I would start to hear the beautiful music created by the rocks as they were gently tossed with the waves on the ocean’s bed. The rocks were humming! It was joyous! And as the shore hummed its music, I floated feeling held and supported by the ocean; it was there, I could surrender to a deeper peace.
​
This experience of floating with the humming of the rocks was an important resource for me. Here, my nervous system could find its sweet spot of peace, safety, connection, and support. My morning doses of Nature’s song and support nurtured the emergence of health and resolution of my symptoms.
​
Beyond their humming, the rocks of Humarock, are surprisingly bountiful with rocks that are shaped like hearts.
