Melody has a wonderful way of helping me to relax so much that just her calm voice and nature takes most of my stress and pain away from my lower back problem before she's even started the session. However as I have a degeneration in my lower spine the problem re occurs and I visit Melody often for somatics sessions when ever I can to realign my contracted muscles, she puts me right back on track and ready to take on the world. My back becomes so tight I can hardly walk at times and somatics is the only thing that I have tried in the last 25 years of having this condition that works. I continue with my bespoke online sessions with Melody to keep mobile and pain free. She is a blessing to all that utilise her amazing services. Somatics is everything and Melody is totally hypnotic! Everybody should prioritise peace inside it’s the key to all health.

I had never heard of Somatics until the pain of my Fibromyalgia made my daily routine unbearable, I had to start looking for alternative healing options. Pharmaceuticals were making me fat, affecting my asthma, and driving me into depression so I started looking into hands on healing and that’s where I learned about Somatics & weight training for Fibromyalgia. I reached out to Melody to understand what Somatics could do for me; Melody helped me understand that my Fibromyalgia had been triggered by the trauma of a serious car accident and that the trauma was trapped inside my body wrecking my nervous system causing all my aliments. I did a huge amount of research before I embarked on my sessions with Melody to make sure it was right for me; Melody was always happy to answer my (many) questions and never made me feel like a nuisance. What set Melody apart from other practitioners I spoke with was her “to-the-point candour” and ‘reiki’ like instant connection with my body upon consultation. I am glad I choose Melody to come on my healing journey with me as not only did the Somatics have an instant effect I have also been able to come to terms with the inner trauma to my bodyand make peace with it through Melody’s teachings. I highly recommend Melody’s Somatics sessions for body trauma.

I was gifted some somatics sessions from my mother for Christmas, and I have to say it was the most beautiful and supportive Christmas present I have ever received. Somatics enveloped me and gave me a foundation to work with alone. I have suffered a lot of emotional distress, 3 births and the obvious signs of life and changes. I have felt a great release and connection with this wonderful therapy. Melody leads you and comforts you so beautifully.

Melody's somatics class at the Shakti Den in Whitstable is a beautiful experience. I felt so relaxed afterwards. Melody's voice guides you through something so simple yet so deeply healing. I was seeing many beautiful colours and heard my body say 'thank you for doing this'. I slept for 10 hours the night after the class. If you're wondering how to connect more deeply with your body, give this class a go, its amazing. We also talked at the end and openly shared with each other, it was very connecting and heart warming.

I found the practise of somatics to be very deep but subtle almost primordial like my body could remember the coming togetherness, the connection. I would move one part and sense the effect elsewhere. It’s an exploration of the wholeness of who you are, so it isn’t just about what is going on within the body. I sensed it allowed me to connect with everything else around me as well. It had a very profound effect on going much deeper into my experience of me, through me, as me. It was very peaceful and calming. What I recognised was that the slower I went, the deeper I went. So that was quite an insightful learning I discovered through practising this work. I felt an expansion and an unwinding, so much so my yoga teacher commented on the change within my posture. I enjoyed the whole experience of somatics with Melody.

Somatic Movement is unlike anything else I have tried. I really enjoyed the slow, gentle pace, always being given the choice to go with my own ability and what felt good for me. I felt very safely held both in and between sessions by Melody and appreciated the support she offers throughout the process. The movements not only allowed me to move in ways I perhaps haven’t before but also eased tension in my body and allowed for emotional release along the way. Melody provides clear and concise voice recordings of movements to explore at home and they were super easy to incorporate into my day. I highly recommend Melody and somatic movement, especially to anyone going through perimenopause as I found it was the perfect mix of gentle but powerful movement that supported me both physically and emotionally.

Melody has been instrumental in my ongoing healing from Mindbody disorder. The somatics sessions and movements she has taught me have allowed me to begin reconnecting with my body after living in my head for most of my life. Melody’s compassion and knowledge on the healing process gave me inspiration to keep believing that it was possible and she provided guidance through what has been a very challenging time in my life. Knowing there are people out there who have suffered like me and come through the other side shows that recovery is attainable. I would highly recommend Melody’s somatics courses to anybody who struggles with chronic pain, illness or trauma.

I met Melody at a yoga retreat earlier this year where I attended one of her somatic sessions, after which I felt completely calm and relaxed. Inspired by Melody’s story about how somatics helped in her personal recovery after a car accident, it got me thinking… what if somatics can help me… take away that niggly pain in my back and the one in my knee. I’m always up for trying something new if I think it will do me good so I enrolled on Melody’s 6 week online somatics exploration course and I’m so glad I did. My knee is no longer troubling me and I can enjoy working out without pain and the feeling of imbalance between one leg and another. The back pain which had me paying for regular expensive massages, gone. To maintain this I simply spend 10 minutes daily following very easy somatic movement exploration exercises, all floor based. Melody is very passionate about what she does and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

After being hit by a drunk driver in my earlier years, the trauma I suffered on my left side was starting to cause havoc on my joints and I wanted to find a way to help relieve the pain without the need for medication.
A great friend recommended Melody. I knew nothing about somatic movement education but was willing to give anything a try. It has been such a transformative experience for me. I no longer battle with constant pain and stress.
Through Melody’s expertise in somatics I have found relief and greater flexibility.
Melody’s personalized approach and caring guidance in our one-on-one sessions have not only improved my physical well-being but also helped me manage stress by finding my inner calm and having a daily practice or just whenever I feel a twinge of pain, I know I have the tools to deal with it. If you're looking for a somatic movement educator who can truly make a difference in your life, I highly recommend Melody and can’t wait to give her online courses a go to greater enhance my knowledge of a very worthwhile practice.

If somebody had told me after suffering for years with lower back pain and spasms, that after one session with Melody, I would feel relief straight away, I would have laughed in their face. Yet, this is exactly what happened!
I had three sessions in all with Melody and each time, as well as doing my movements day and night, I just felt better and better. Being pain-free after all these years of suffering, going to chiropractors, seeing doctors, and taking Nurofen daily, was just the most extraordinary feeling. I'd forgotten what it was like to not be in pain of some sort or another. The fact that my emotional well-being was also contributing to my physical well-being, was made clear. Once the physical pain subsided, so did the emotional pain. I can walk further, walk faster and stand straight without leaning over.
I really wish I had discovered Melody and Somatics years ago. It is something I will continue to do for the rest of my life. Many, many thanks Melody, you came along at just the right time in my life.

I joined Melody on her 6 week somatic movement miracles course. Melody is passionate and knows her stuff. She took us through beautiful guided meditation's to bring us into our bodies then guided us through the movement lessons, explaining in detail exactly what we should be feeling and what’s happening in the body. These gentle processes have really helped me. I would recommend Melody, she works from the heart and genuinely wishes to help people who are suffering physically and emotionally.

I decided to undertake a 6 week course with Melody and I am so glad I did as I was feeling very stressed and anxious at this time. I found that with each session of this very gentle somatic movement practice my nervous system became calmer and calmer. I also had hip and knee pain, stiffness and reduced movement and miraculously after completing the 6 sessions it completely disappeared and I’ve not been troubled since! This is definitely a whole body healing technique and Melody explains every single movement and checks that you are comfortable throughout.
Melody is a gifted natural teacher/therapist with a hypnotic calm voice which in itself is so soothing. Melody is a beautiful soul and really cares about her clients well-being this isn’t about the money this is Melody’s passion. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Melody helped me with a painful and stiff area in my neck and shoulder over a series of online zoom sessions that set my healing process in motion after a long time of chronic pain. She was very attuned to the needs of my body and designed tailor made sessions and home exercises that helped ease all the tension. She is skilled, attentive and I enjoyed the warmth and of her guiding presence. I highly recommend her work!

After 1 session with Melody I was able to enjoy a 10k walk along the beach with my dog, something I haven't been able to do for 6 months after developing severe hip pain that has been extremely debilitating.
I look forward to finishing my course of Somatic Therapy.

After finally giving myself the time and space to start my healing journey I had a session of somatics with Melody online
From my perspective of what feels like a lifetime of exercise, yoga, meditation, nutrition and general well-being, still my body has been in a lot of pain and though I can always soothe this through my own practice it never truly goes away
So coming from a slightly egotistical place I went with the programme set for me by Melody listening to her clear precise instructions and relaxed into the session
My pain area in particular is my groin and pelvis and when working through I could feel every part of my pelvis working
There was so much fluctuation there weaving through the exercises and at times slight discomfort but due to a regular iyengar practice I’m quite used to that
To focus on just that area as opposed to leg and arm strength felt different for me
I felt very relaxed and the time went quickly
I felt the benefit instantaneously, my hips were more open, I walked with no pain in my lower back
My front body feels lighter and lifted, my pelvic floor stronger and tighter
Coming from a place of a life time of bodywork I can honestly say I’ve never had such a noticeable improvement in just one session from any therapeutic therapy
Looking forward to my next session and progressing even further

Last summer I was having back problems that resulted in severe sciatica in my left buttock and leg. It was so bad that I couldn’t sit at my desk to work, walk (I was crawling around my flat) etc. It eased up a bit but I was still unable to sit, stand or walk for longer than 5 mins without having to lie down or sit on my side. My flat mate suggested I see our friend Melody who could help with such problems. The doctor had only given me loads of tablets which quite frankly did nothing to ease the pain. So I was booked in to see a specialist who saw how bad I was and subsequently booked me in for an mri scan weeks later (the nhs is very slow). In the meantime I started having Somatic treatment with Melody. I’d never heard of it before but gave it a try as I trusted Melody. The sessions were pain free and Melody gave me some exercises to do at home morning and night. Within 4/5 sessions I had experienced a massive transformation. I was able to start working again. By the time I went back to see to specialist to see the mri scan results, he was shocked at my recovery. He’d never heard of somatics but recommended I continued doing the exercises. I can’t express how well somatics worked for me from Melody’s sessions. If you’ve had back problems which the doctors haven’t been able to cure, I would highly recommend having a course of treatment with Melody who is warm, friendly and easy to work with.

I would like to say a big thank you to Melody. Her magic words, voice, exercises & everything about somatics is a very good experience for me & I still continue. I have multiple sclerosis, after the first session I had more movement in my legs & my posture changed. I stand much taller. Somatics really helps me to be calm & think about everything, it improves my movement. Amazing little movements - it works. After every session I feel very good, positive.

Melody holds a truly healing space. I was suffering with really bad sciatica from a slipped and various damaged disks, now the pain has almost completely gone in just over a month. With her clear guidance and extensive knowledge of different exercises this work has been a life saver. Even on zoom, Melody was really clear and held a safe and gentle space. I highly recommend.

I had 3 weekly sessions with Melody.
Melody has a very natural intuitive and healing approach, gentle, clear and fluid.
The exercises were easy to follow from her direction and I was impressed how adaptive she made it when there was something that was difficult for my body.
Since the sessions I’ve been doing x 2 daily practice and have noticed some remarkable improvements.
I now am able to sit comfortably on the floor and out in nature whereas for many years I’ve needed to carry a yoga chair as my back would get too sore and I’d get repercussions with back pain that I had to seek treatment for.
I have more lightness and ease of movement in my legs also and my overall flexibility and ability to move my body without stiffness and soreness is vastly improved.
I also noticed the exercises help my nervous system to relax, to ground my energy and improve the function of my digestive system.
In 19 years of seeking support for my back pain there is nothing I have found more effective than Melody’s somatic bodywork.
Truly it’s been a remarkable shift for me. I highly recommended

Melody has a wonderful way of helping me to relax so much that just her calm voice and nature takes most of my stress and pain away from my lower back problem before she's even started the session. However as I have a degeneration in my lower spine the problem re occurs and I visit Melody often for somatics sessions when ever I can to realign my contracted muscles, she puts me right back on track and ready to take on the world. My back becomes so tight I can hardly walk at times and somatics is the only thing that I have tried in the last 25 years of having this condition that works. I continue with my bespoke online sessions with Melody to keep mobile and pain free. She is a blessing to all that utilise her amazing services. Somatics is everything and Melody is totally hypnotic! Everybody should prioritise peace inside it’s the key to all health.

I was gifted some somatics sessions from my mother for Christmas, and I have to say it was the most beautiful and supportive Christmas present I have ever received. Somatics enveloped me and gave me a foundation to work with alone. I have suffered a lot of emotional distress, 3 births and the obvious signs of life and changes. I have felt a great release and connection with this wonderful therapy. Melody leads you and comforts you so beautifully.

Melody's somatics class at the Shakti Den in Whitstable is a beautiful experience. I felt so relaxed afterwards. Melody's voice guides you through something so simple yet so deeply healing. I was seeing many beautiful colours and heard my body say 'thank you for doing this'. I slept for 10 hours the night after the class. If you're wondering how to connect more deeply with your body, give this class a go, its amazing. We also talked at the end and openly shared with each other, it was very connecting and heart warming.

If you're wondering how to connect more deeply with your body, give this class a go, its amazing. We also talked at the end and openly shared with each other, it was very connecting and heart warming.
I found the practise of somatics to be very deep but subtle almost primordial like my body could remember the coming togetherness, the connection. I would move one part and sense the effect elsewhere. It’s an exploration of the wholeness of who you are, so it isn’t just about what is going on within the body. I sensed it allowed me to connect with everything else around me as well. It had a very profound effect on going much deeper into my experience of me, through me, as me. It was very peaceful and calming. What I recognised was that the slower I went, the deeper I went. So that was quite an insightful learning I discovered through practising this work. I felt an expansion and an unwinding, so much so my yoga teacher commented on the change within my posture. I enjoyed the whole experience of somatics with Melody.

Somatic Movement is unlike anything else I have tried. I really enjoyed the slow, gentle pace, always being given the choice to go with my own ability and what felt good for me. I felt very safely held both in and between sessions by Melody and appreciated the support she offers throughout the process. The movements not only allowed me to move in ways I perhaps haven’t before but also eased tension in my body and allowed for emotional release along the way. Melody provides clear and concise voice recordings of movements to explore at home and they were super easy to incorporate into my day. I highly recommend Melody and somatic movement, especially to anyone going through perimenopause as I found it was the perfect mix of gentle but powerful movement that supported me both physically and emotionally.

Melody has been instrumental in my ongoing healing from Mindbody disorder. The somatics sessions and movements she has taught me have allowed me to begin reconnecting with my body after living in my head for most of my life. Melody’s compassion and knowledge on the healing process gave me inspiration to keep believing that it was possible and she provided guidance through what has been a very challenging time in my life. Knowing there are people out there who have suffered like me and come through the other side shows that recovery is attainable. I would highly recommend Melody’s somatics courses to anybody who struggles with chronic pain, illness or trauma.

I met Melody at a yoga retreat earlier this year where I attended one of her somatic sessions, after which I felt completely calm and relaxed. Inspired by Melody’s story about how somatics helped in her personal recovery after a car accident, it got me thinking… what if somatics can help me… take away that niggly pain in my back and the one in my knee. I’m always up for trying something new if I think it will do me good so I enrolled on Melody’s 6 week online somatics exploration course and I’m so glad I did. My knee is no longer troubling me and I can enjoy working out without pain and the feeling of imbalance between one leg and another. The back pain which had me paying for regular expensive massages, gone. To maintain this I simply spend 10 minutes daily following very easy somatic movement exploration exercises, all floor based. Melody is very passionate about what she does and I cannot recommend her highly enough.

After being hit by a drunk driver in my earlier years, the trauma I suffered on my left side was starting to cause havoc on my joints and I wanted to find a way to help relieve the pain without the need for medication.
A great friend recommended Melody. I knew nothing about somatic movement education but was willing to give anything a try. It has been such a transformative experience for me. I no longer battle with constant pain and stress.
Through Melody’s expertise in somatics I have found relief and greater flexibility.
Melody’s personalized approach and caring guidance in our one-on-one sessions have not only improved my physical well-being but also helped me manage stress by finding my inner calm and having a daily practice or just whenever I feel a twinge of pain, I know I have the tools to deal with it. If you're looking for a somatic movement educator who can truly make a difference in your life, I highly recommend Melody and can’t wait to give her online courses a go to greater enhance my knowledge of a very worthwhile practice.

If somebody had told me after suffering for years with lower back pain and spasms, that after one session with Melody, I would feel relief straight away, I would have laughed in their face. Yet, this is exactly what happened!
I had three sessions in all with Melody and each time, as well as doing my movements day and night, I just felt better and better. Being pain-free after all these years of suffering, going to chiropractors, seeing doctors, and taking Nurofen daily, was just the most extraordinary feeling. I'd forgotten what it was like to not be in pain of some sort or another. The fact that my emotional well-being was also contributing to my physical well-being, was made clear. Once the physical pain subsided, so did the emotional pain. I can walk further, walk faster and stand straight without leaning over.
I really wish I had discovered Melody and Somatics years ago. It is something I will continue to do for the rest of my life. Many, many thanks Melody, you came along at just the right time in my life.

I joined Melody on her 6 week somatic movement miracles course. Melody is passionate and knows her stuff. She took us through beautiful guided meditation's to bring us into our bodies then guided us through the movement lessons, explaining in detail exactly what we should be feeling and what’s happening in the body. These gentle processes have really helped me. I would recommend Melody, she works from the heart and genuinely wishes to help people who are suffering physically and emotionally.

I decided to undertake a 6 week course with Melody and I am so glad I did as I was feeling very stressed and anxious at this time. I found that with each session of this very gentle somatic movement practice my nervous system became calmer and calmer. I also had hip and knee pain, stiffness and reduced movement and miraculously after completing the 6 sessions it completely disappeared and I’ve not been troubled since! This is definitely a whole body healing technique and Melody explains every single movement and checks that you are comfortable throughout.
Melody is a gifted natural teacher/therapist with a hypnotic calm voice which in itself is so soothing. Melody is a beautiful soul and really cares about her clients well-being this isn’t about the money this is Melody’s passion. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Melody helped me with a painful and stiff area in my neck and shoulder over a series of online zoom sessions that set my healing process in motion after a long time of chronic pain. She was very attuned to the needs of my body and designed tailor made sessions and home exercises that helped ease all the tension. She is skilled, attentive and I enjoyed the warmth and of her guiding presence. I highly recommend her work!

After 1 session with Melody I was able to enjoy a 10k walk along the beach with my dog, something I haven't been able to do for 6 months after developing severe hip pain that has been extremely debilitating.
I look forward to finishing my course of Somatic Therapy.

After finally giving myself the time and space to start my healing journey I had a session of somatics with Melody online
From my perspective of what feels like a lifetime of exercise, yoga, meditation, nutrition and general well-being, still my body has been in a lot of pain and though I can always soothe this through my own practice it never truly goes away
So coming from a slightly egotistical place I went with the programme set for me by Melody listening to her clear precise instructions and relaxed into the session
My pain area in particular is my groin and pelvis and when working through I could feel every part of my pelvis working
There was so much fluctuation there weaving through the exercises and at times slight discomfort but due to a regular iyengar practice I’m quite used to that
To focus on just that area as opposed to leg and arm strength felt different for me
I felt very relaxed and the time went quickly
I felt the benefit instantaneously, my hips were more open, I walked with no pain in my lower back
My front body feels lighter and lifted, my pelvic floor stronger and tighter
Coming from a place of a life time of bodywork I can honestly say I’ve never had such a noticeable improvement in just one session from any therapeutic therapy
Looking forward to my next session and progressing even further

Last summer I was having back problems that resulted in severe sciatica in my left buttock and leg. It was so bad that I couldn’t sit at my desk to work, walk (I was crawling around my flat) etc. It eased up a bit but I was still unable to sit, stand or walk for longer than 5 mins without having to lie down or sit on my side. My flat mate suggested I see our friend Melody who could help with such problems. The doctor had only given me loads of tablets which quite frankly did nothing to ease the pain. So I was booked in to see a specialist who saw how bad I was and subsequently booked me in for an mri scan weeks later (the nhs is very slow). In the meantime I started having Somatic treatment with Melody. I’d never heard of it before but gave it a try as I trusted Melody. The sessions were pain free and Melody gave me some exercises to do at home morning and night. Within 4/5 sessions I had experienced a massive transformation. I was able to start working again. By the time I went back to see to specialist to see the mri scan results, he was shocked at my recovery. He’d never heard of somatics but recommended I continued doing the exercises. I can’t express how well somatics worked for me from Melody’s sessions. If you’ve had back problems which the doctors haven’t been able to cure, I would highly recommend having a course of treatment with Melody who is warm, friendly and easy to work with.

I would like to say a big thank you to Melody. Her magic words, voice, exercises & everything about somatics is a very good experience for me & I still continue. I have multiple sclerosis, after the first session I had more movement in my legs & my posture changed. I stand much taller. Somatics really helps me to be calm & think about everything, it improves my movement. Amazing little movements - it works. After every session I feel very good, positive.

Melody holds a truly healing space. I was suffering with really bad sciatica from a slipped and various damaged disks, now the pain has almost completely gone in just over a month. With her clear guidance and extensive knowledge of different exercises this work has been a life saver. Even on zoom, Melody was really clear and held a safe and gentle space. I highly recommend.

I had 3 weekly sessions with Melody.
Melody has a very natural intuitive and healing approach, gentle, clear and fluid.
The exercises were easy to follow from her direction and I was impressed how adaptive she made it when there was something that was difficult for my body.
Since the sessions I’ve been doing x 2 daily practice and have noticed some remarkable improvements.
I now am able to sit comfortably on the floor and out in nature whereas for many years I’ve needed to carry a yoga chair as my back would get too sore and I’d get repercussions with back pain that I had to seek treatment for.
I have more lightness and ease of movement in my legs also and my overall flexibility and ability to move my body without stiffness and soreness is vastly improved.
I also noticed the exercises help my nervous system to relax, to ground my energy and improve the function of my digestive system.
In 19 years of seeking support for my back pain there is nothing I have found more effective than Melody’s somatic bodywork.
Truly it’s been a remarkable shift for me. I highly recommended

Melody has a wonderful way of helping me to relax so much that just her calm voice and nature takes most of my stress and pain away from my lower back problem before she's even started the session. However as I have a degeneration in my lower spine the problem re occurs and I visit Melody often for somatics sessions when ever I can to realign my contracted muscles, she puts me right back on track and ready to take on the world. My back becomes so tight I can hardly walk at times and somatics is the only thing that I have tried in the last 25 years of having this condition that works. I continue with my bespoke online sessions with Melody to keep mobile and pain free. She is a blessing to all that utilise her amazing services. Somatics is everything and Melody is totally hypnotic! Everybody should prioritise peace inside it’s the key to all health.

I had never heard of Somatics until the pain of my Fibromyalgia made my daily routine unbearable, I had to start looking for alternative healing options. Pharmaceuticals were making me fat, affecting my asthma, and driving me into depression so I started looking into hands on healing and that’s where I learned about Somatics & weight training for Fibromyalgia. I reached out to Melody to understand what Somatics could do for me; Melody helped me understand that my Fibromyalgia had been triggered by the trauma of a serious car accident and that the trauma was trapped inside my body wrecking my nervous system causing all my aliments. I did a huge amount of research before I embarked on my sessions with Melody to make sure it was right for me; Melody was always happy to answer my (many) questions and never made me feel like a nuisance. What set Melody apart from other practitioners I spoke with was her “to-the-point candour” and ‘reiki’ like instant connection with my body upon consultation. I am glad I choose Melody to come on my healing journey with me as not only did the Somatics have an instant effect I have also been able to come to terms with the inner trauma to my bodyand make peace with it through Melody’s teachings. I highly recommend Melody’s Somatics sessions for body trauma.
