Somatic Movement Therapy- celebrating life through the body.

What is Somatic Therapy?

Your wisdom lives in your body, as does your story, pain, trauma, patterns, creativity and pleasure. Your aliveness, wholeness, vitality and sensuality are woven into the matrix of your being through your body.

The word “somatic” is derived from the Latin word “soma” which means “living body”. Somatic Therapy is a holistic modality that recognises the continuum of mind, body and soul. Somatic Therapy includes psychotherapy, movement, touch, sound and energy work to support the individual in accessing and expressing the fullness of Self.

Why Somatic Therapy?

Since the beginning of your time as a human, as an embryo of pure potentiality, encoded in your DNA lives all the information needed to unfold into the great mystery of you. Your unique blueprint of soul-aligned living rests within every cell of your body.

Somatic Therapy guides you to listen and express from this place of deep inner knowing so you can make choices that support your joy, purpose, passion and pleasure.

When life presents us with experiences that are too much for us to metablize in the moment (Trauma, chronic stress), we develop ways to avoid the sensations and memories linked with the event. These experiences get locked in our tissues and display as patterns of tension, inflammation and atrophy- the foundation of all dis-ease. If we are stuck in patterns of tension or dis-regulation, it is nearly impossible to hear our Soul’s calling or feel a deep sense of safety and belonging in the world.

Somatic Therapy helps to untangle the knots in our body and psyche so that we can live our Soul into the world.

Soma and Soul- A Descent into Wholeness

The journey of embodiment is a descent into wholeness. It includes the dark shadow lands, the most uncomfortable emotions, thoughts and behaviours. This is not a pass of lofty bypass - this is a path of meeting what is here in the moment without needing to transend, fix, override or shift anything. Through mirrored attunement from a supportive Therapist, friend, coach or partner we can rest into the reality of our experience and expand our capacity to be with what life brings us.

I weave yoga, meditation and contemplative practices into my therapeutic work because I believe that soul and spirit based practiced can complement each other.
