Question 1

Who are my classes designed for?

Accepted Answer

Individuals & Group circles

If you have been suffering from what seems to be nervous system dis-regulation and that shows up as anxiety, depression, as physical symptoms or illnesses and you are ready to heal.

You have worked through your issues and stories with talking therapy and now you are ready to dive into the body’s realm to go deeper.

You might have relational challenges, such as loss, intimacy, trauma, or issues arising from work, education, childhood experiences, and life direction, and you are ready to get to the roots of things.

Question 2

What is Somatic therapy?

Accepted Answer

The nature of Somatic work at its core is a body-oriented therapy that aims to tap into the body’s innate wisdom to heal. This is offering us a paradigm shift from solely working with thoughts to working with experiences that have been stored in the body as a result of stress, shock, or trauma. I offer a gentle and personalised approach to meet you where you are in your life journey and create a safe grounding space to explore what's present for you in the moment, supporting you to  move towards Well-being, Resilience and Inner-harmony.

Question 3

What can I expect during a typical session?

Accepted Answer

Arrival: Safety and Stabilisation 
Gently guiding you to listening to your body and find resources of safety and stabilisation.  Listening to the body might be familiar or easily accessible to you, or you might have difficulty connecting with your body. I meet you where you are and we choose a starting point based on your inquiry. This is a foundational place to start listening to what your body has to say, wants to say,  or is trying to say through bodily gesture, movement, or a symptom that you might come with.

Processing: bodywork, Movement, and Dialogue
We then enter into a co-creative process of inquiry working with somatic practices that are based on theories from somatic psychology such as Polyvagal Nervous System work, Process-oriented work,  and movement practices such as Authentic Movement and the infant movement patterns of BMC®.

This supports you to go deeper into your bodily experience and uncover any memories or untold stories and could be that the nervous system releases through the body impulses.

Integration: expression through drawing and movement
Each session ends with offering you a space for reflection and integration. This could be about coming back into expression through movement that might emerge from processing a particular experience, or drawing images on paper to express what cannot yet be verbalised.

This allows you to experience a strengthened sense of embodied connection to your body and feeling of coherency.
