What does it mean to you to connect to yourself as a living body in a living ecosystem? What does co-creation feel like to you and might it be possible to embody that moment to moment? Might it be possible to find a way to do the work that brings you alive, from a resourced place? Do you have an instinct that doing it all alone is only getting you so far and sense there are things we can only discover when we journey together? I’m a somatic educator, facilitator, coaching and embodiment trainer, mentor, artist and theatre maker. My purpose is to provide the containers for you to explore these questions for yourself and begin living into the answers. Here are some of the ways we can work together: |

What is Somatic Education?
Soma is the lived experience - the felt sense - of being in a conscious body.
Somatic education is any process that facilitates a coming home to our own inherent biological intelligence, by working through or with the body, the felt sense and the whole being.
It is a very broad church that is a holding place for many modalities that work using some of the following principles -
It honours the self as sovereign as well as inter-connected and acknowledges that we are each whole, creative, resourceful and changing.
Somatic education is a re-education or re-wilding or re-membering... a moving away from objectification culture and towards a lived experience of integration and wholeness.
It is good medicine for our species.
The approaches i offer include Feldenkrais, Somatic Coaching, Embodied Enquiries, Integrative Somatic Feedback, online courses for nurturing aliveness, mentoring packages and also, training programs for actors, coaches and trainers learning to work with and listen to the body in their practices.

Somatic CoachingSomatic Coaching is about enquiring into your bodies wisdom to guide us towards what we want.
This may be about learning to notice what we are doing in our bodies that no longer serves us, in order to grow a new way of being, or it may be more goal focused and about finding ways to support your creative vision. Either way, we are learning to make choices that are more appropriate, intelligent and more aligned with what we want to create. Somatic coaching can help with presence, visibility, decision making, developing a project, identifying soul purpose and discovering your personal style and voice. |
