What is Somatic Movement Education?

 

Somatic Movement Education is a process-oriented approach that emphasizes creating a safe and supportive spacefor you to explore your body and mind without judgment. This is an intimate journey of self-discovery. By exploring the interconnected systems of the human body, we can understand how movement patterns and physical sensations impact our overall well-being.

 

Through gentle movement, we cultivate increased body awareness, improved emotional regulation, and a deeper sense of inner peace. This journey supports the development of embodiment – a deeper connection to your body and your experience within it.

 

During a session, we explore:

• Natural Movements: We encourage a range of simple movements, from slow, deliberate motions to more fluid, expressive ones. This helps improve flexibility, coordination, and engage optimal muscle tension.

• Mindful Awareness: We pay close attention to your body sensations – tension, relaxation, pain. This helps you understand and address areas of imbalance.

• Mindful Touch: Gentle, therapeutic touch may be used to release tension, improve body awareness, and promote deep relaxation.

 

This holistic approach prioritizes your unique needs, tailoring sessions to help you achieve specific goals, such as reducing chronic back pain, improving athletic performance, or managing stress more effectively. We emphasize the journey of exploration and discovery, honoring your body's wisdom and working at your own pace.
