I have been empowering people of all ages to release chronic pain, injury, stress and habituated postures through somatic movement education since 2010.
I was introduced to somatics in 2008 after I was involved in a car accident and suffered an acute whiplash injury. After just 3 weekly somatics sessions and committing to the daily movement explorations, not only did I release the whiplash, but my whole body was brought back into alignment and I felt a deep sense of calm I hadn't felt before.
I had been told by various professionals that my legs were different lengths, and my shoulders were lopsided. The somatics released a contracted waist muscle that was hiking my hip up and pulling my shoulder down, my body was once again in alignment.
After suffering with neck and shoulder pain since my teenager years, due to a traumatic childhood, my back, neck and shoulders felt better at 30 years old than they had at 18.
I was stunned that something so gentle and easy had created such a drastic transformation. I knew as soon as the sessions were over that I wanted to learn this beautiful healing modality to help others.
In 2009 and 2010 I joined the first Living Somatics Clinical Practitioners Training in the UK. In 2020 I decided to continue my learning and completed the Living Somatics Movement Teacher Training in 2022. I have since completed two 13 week online Living Somatics Clinical Teacher Trainings and various workshops and events. In March 2025 I join The Shift Network to be a Living Somatics Pod Facilitator for the Applied Somatic Healing Teacher Certification.
Somatics creates a deeper connection to our first home, our body. This connection can be lost through emotional trauma, accident or injury. It is calming to the nervous system as we drop into the parasympathetic nervous system of rest and repair, creating space for holistic physical and emotional healiing.
Somatics has given me and so many of my clients the gift of calm, enabling us to live pain free lives, where we can thrive and not just survive. If you or a loved one are in need of some somatic healing please get in touch to arrange a free consultation call.
Much Love,
