I have been empowering people of all ages to release chronic pain and habituated postures as well as physical and emotional trauma through Somatic Movement Education since 2010.
I was fortunate to find Somatics in 2008 after I was involved in a car accident and suffered an acute whiplash injury.
After just 3 weekly sessions and committing to the daily movement explorations not only did I release the whiplash injury, but my whole body was brought back into alignment.
I had spent years having my trouser legs altered at different lengths and my shoulders were lopsided. I learnt that I had a contracted waist muscle that was hiking my hip up and pulling my shoulder down. I was so pleased that my legs were actually the same length.
I had also suffered with a lot of neck pain since I was a teenager which was emotionally related having grown up in a stressful and traumatic environment. After the somatics sessions my back, neck and shoulders felt better at 30 years old than they had at 18.
I felt truly relaxed for the first time in my life having been unconsciously stuck in freeze or flight from a young age.
I was stunned that something so gentle and easy had created such a drastic transformation within my body.
I knew I had to learn this beautiful healing modality to help others.
In 2009 & 2010 I joined the first Living Somatics clinical training in the UK.
In 2020 I continued with Living Somatics and completed the movement teacher training in 2022, furthering my knowledge and deepening my practise.
Somatics has given me and many of my clients the gift of calm and peace of mind enabling us to live pain free and thrive in this short and precious life.
