Somatic Healing includes deep relaxation, bodywork and embodiment support, but the sessions are more than just receiving a treatment for relaxation.

Somatic Healing centres around intentional learning about your body through direct expereince with it. You’ll learn the ways in which it might be shaped in service of survival, and ways which help you thrive, including through embodied education/coaching.

This approach helps you renegotiate patterns held in the body so that you can cultivate the ability to stay grounded, to relax, to fee safe and connected and generally manage the ebbs and flow of life with more resiliency. Whilst a yoga massage can help you access this, Somatic Healing takes us a layer deeper, inviting those experiences to leave us profoundly changed.

A first session will typically include a full Ayurvedic yoga massage, and subsequent sessions typically include aspects of yoga massage.

By this I mean the appointments includes elements which are often included in a yoga massage session such as clothed massage, nurturing touch, gentle guided movement, stretching and breathing as well as meditation but may not always include an oil based massage. Years of experience and feedback from clients has demonstrated that clothed bodywork can be equally effective.

Full Ayurvedic Yoga Massage can be included for additional cost and time, and is a highly complimentary addition. Simply contact me to arrange this inclusion.

This approach is highly beneficial for both men & women.

It is most beneficial to those who are willing to engage in self-enquiry. This does not have to be with myself or in the sessions. This can be a private process between you and yourself and does not need to be intensive.

As previously mentioned, just a gentle openness is encouraged, as this is a useful ingredient that creates the possibility for change.

Usually there is a greater level of intentionally with someone who feels called to Somatic Healing. You know that a single dose of relaxation isn’t going to cut it. You sense that there is a pattern at play, a missing link, and are ready to make a concerted step towards creating a meaningful shift.

For example, maybe you’ve experienced a shift in your mind, but you just can’t seem to translate that through the body. You might know that how you’re feeling about XYZ is a result of XYZ, and be able to sooth yourself intellectually, but your body just doesn't seem to get the memo.

Somatic Healing is highly complimentary for counselling, talking therapy and other forms of self enquiry. My client have described how Somatic Healing helped them to integrate the work they’d done in the talking space, or help them continue forward when they felt they’d hit a plateau with conventional therapy.

You don’t learn to drive a car (typically!) in a single driving session - this process is the same. We are teaching your body new ways of being - it’s kind to give it a little bit of time to imprint in its muscle memory.

That’s why Somatic Healing starts with three sessions. Most clients feel shifts from day one. Any number of sessions will be useful, however I do offer a 6 week block which can provide a very solid foundation for somatic awareness

This said, my clients have found Somatic Healing to be so transformational & supportive, thus far they have all opted to continue working with me beyond this time frame.

Sessions are typically blocks of 6, 9 or 12, or more with payment plan options available.

A first single session can be be booked as an introduction into this work with me by selecting the Somatic Yoga Massage option on my booking system.

Wellbeing Forms

Before your first appointment I will ask you to fill in a confidential wellbeing form so you get the most from the session & I can support unique needs. This will also include some standard T’s & C’s. You’ll need to keep me in the loop with any health changes as we work together too.

Cancellations & punctuality

If you are late to your appointment, your appointment will still end at the scheduled time unless otherwise discussed as I will typically have pre-arranged appointments following your own.

Payment

Payment is required in advance of your appointment unless otherwise discussed. In the extremely unlikely even that I should need to cancel your appointment you will receive a full refund or rearrangement of your appointment.

Boundaries

I endeavour to provide the highest support within my field of expertise. Unfortunately I am not able to provide crisis support and am only available for contact within working hours.

Any aggressive, lewd or sexual behaviour will not be tolerated and will result in the immediate termination of our work together with any payment made for service, received or otherwise, retained.
