Somatic Therapies

I offer one-to-one somatic therapy sessions that support your healing and transformation in Angel and Walthamstow, London, UK and online. Through touch and movement, my sessions with you reflect my love for dance, the body, humans, nature and the world.

I am a Master Somatic Movement Therapist registered with ISMETA, a Registered Craniosacral Therapist, and a certified Pilates teacher, with additional training in Somatic Psychology and Process-Oriented Psychology.

Please find details on the modalities I offer. Each modality can be offered singularly or in fluid combinations for your best benefit.

Craniosacral Therapy

The touch-based sessions on the couch help your body access its potent innate self-healing capacity at both physical and emotional levels, which may have been compromised by adverse life experiences. The safety and comfort of touch can take you to a deep dream-like state where your bodymindsoul starts to unfold and reorganise toward integration and transformation.

Somatic Movement

Somatic Movement sessions use movement, touch, dialogue, mark-making and writing as needed. This contemplative work invites deep engagement of your bodymindsoul. Whether your issue is psychological or physical, attention is given to your body movements, sensations, and feelings in the here and now. When one touches their body wisdom, an insight arrives directly to them.

Somatic Pilates

Evolving from traditional Pilates exercises, Somatic Pilates emphasises the body’s release, softening, and yielding as the foundation for more dynamic movements. Your attention is directed to breath, clear alignment, and ease of movement. The exercises can be carefully modified to meet your needs and accommodate various health conditions and injuries, supporting their recovery and management.

What is the body? That shadow of a shadow
of your love, that somehow contains
the entire universe.

Rumi
