Why somatic practice?

“The truth of a thing is in the feel of it, not in the think of it.” 

Stanley Kubrick

Somatic work helps you to:

  • Grow your capacity for presence, connection and joy

  • Reclaim safety, vitality and responsiveness

  • Explore patterns of tension, withdrawal, or overwhelm

  • Reconnect to instinctive self-protective responses and pleasure

  • Feel more at home in your body

  • 'Feel it to heal it' – at a pace you can handle

Somatic practice isn’t about fixing. It’s about listening and tending.

Many of us carry stories and habitual patterns from our own lives aswell as from collective and ancestral experiences. When we bring curiosity, attention, and support to our embodied experience, change becomes possible.

Survival instincts are essential when we’re under physical threat, but we’re not built to live in a continuous state of vigilance. The aim of somatic work isn’t to become unshakable, but to develop the capacity to move fluidly between different states in response to what our environment calls for, becoming more whole, functional and at ease.

"Trauma is not what happens to us, but what we hold inside in the absence of an empathetic witness."

Peter Levine
