Somatic Insight SessionsThese sessions are an opportunity to bring your everyday identity and awareness into relationship with the greater processes that shape your experience.
We explore what it means to truly trust your immediate experience, — following what is actually happening in the body, psyche, and spirit, rather than trying to fix, analyse or override it. Symptoms and disturbances (physical, emotional, or energetic) become gateways for learning and transformation, not just relief. Together we gently attend to sensations, movements, and associations as they unfold, allowing new insight and integration to emerge naturally. This work is a natural extension of my 16 years in osteopathic practice, where I have always combined manual techniques with a deep focus on the psycho-emotional and spiritual dimensions of health and disease. It draws on decades of personal and professional exploration in philosophy, traditional shamanic practice, and movement therapy, and is now deepened by intensive training in Process Oriented Psychology (Process Work). |

Who is this for?
Many people are drawn to this work when they feel they haven't been fully met by the standard clinical model. This can so often occur when navigating chronic or poorly understood symptoms. These sessions offer you a place to explore the wisdom in your symptoms.
I love working with those with experience in, or a strong interest in self-awareness and spiritual/inner exploration.
You don’t need prior experience,— only a willingness to trust what your body is telling you.

What to Expect in a session
Each session begins with a deep listening and exploration of a symptom or disturbance you wish to address, whether that be in your body, psyche or spirit.
From there, we follow your immediate experience, bringing gentle attention to the sensations, movements, and associations that arise, and allow them the time and space to fully express and unfold.
