LET’S MOVE TOGETHER
Somatic sessions: Bodywork, Movement and Creative Projects
Somatic Bodywork
Who is it for:
…anyone looking for relief from chronic pain symptoms, such as back, hip, neck and shoulder pain, as well as stress, tension, anxiety, headaches, poor sleep, Fibromyalgia and many other body-based symptoms.
This transformative method of bodywork supports the release of deeply held patterns in the body; that create and sustain chronic pain and emotional or energetic blockage.
Over time, habits, trauma and injury affect the function of fascia (the network of connective tissue woven through every muscle, organ and bone in your body) which in turn causes the feeling of pain and suffering.
90% of physical pain is rooted in holding patterns often created by the holding back of emotional expression.

Somatic Movement
Somatic Movement and Yoga:
Through movement, touch, and body awareness, we'll work together to help you reconnect with your body, regulate your nervous system, and process stored emotions. Whether it’s yoga or movement I offer you the space to listen to the wisdom of your body, cultivate deeper self-awareness, self-expression and discover a sense of balance, relaxation, and healing.
In a yoga session the postures guide you as you build your ability to move with awareness: learning to feel into tight spots, bring breath support, grounding and heart to your practice. There is also a focus on strengthening and improving flexibility through this more traditional form of movement.
Where yoga is a very structured and form oriented practice, Somatic Movement differs as it invites you to move in ways that arise from a deeper place. This might look like dancing, because it is free form movement in which you can follow the rhythm of your body and learn to trust where it takes you. If you are looking for freedom, self expression, authentic connection, to explore who you are beneath the social mask and duties of life, then this way of working is for you..
Whether you're navigating uncertainty or simply desiring more connection or more creativity in your life, this session will support you in finding clarity, authenticity as well as restoring a sense of ease, freedom and wholeness.
Devotional body:
creative explorations of care
Devotional Body asks how movement, voice and art-making can become expressions of care and connection, cultivating wholeness and belonging. It proposes that devotion, understood not as religious observance but as an attitude of attention, receptivity and surrender to creative process, can reveal new forms of knowledge about care, imagination and relational being.
Drawing on Plotkin’s (2008) concept of the imaginal realm—a living dimension where psyche and world communicate—this project approaches imagination as a relational faculty through which care and meaning emerge. This frames imagination as ecological perception: a way of knowing through participation rather than control. Within this context, devotion is explored as a practice of creative surrender, through which the body becomes both listening and expressive vessel, receiving and transmitting care.
