I'm a Somatic Practitioner with a focus on trauma recovery.
I have two hats on when I'm working with individuals. The Feldenkrais Method® inspires curiosity and an openness to see what unfolds between the client and practitioner, and we unravel the mystery together. A chronically achey knee may be related to a twisted pelvis. A sore low back may be related to how our eyes scan the horizon, and sore feet may relate to our nervous system still putting the foot on the brakes! It's often challenging to return to how we were before accident, injury or simply sitting at the computer too long. As awareness of our movement improves so too does our balance, ease and overall sense of well-being.
When our history contains accident, injury and trauma, it's often challenging to come out of a protective pattern in our movement which at one point helped us to feel safe in the world. This is where Somatic Experiencing® can be so useful. This is a body-oriented approach to trauma. It's based on the realization that human beings have an innate ability to overcome the effects of trauma, and they can return to a greater sense of aliveness.
I get to take people on one of the most exotic explorations possible; their own self.
The Feldenkrais Method and Somatic Experiencing dovetail well to guide a person to greater agility, resiliency and sense of well-being.
Being in one's own body can be enjoyable, even if you have never had this experience. This is your birth-right to enjoy your home.
