What is the object of the individual Somatic Healing program

The body is wise and has healing potential. In order to consciously connect with this wisdom, we need to discover within ourselves the willingness and courage to meet ourselves.
A true and profound encounter with ourselves takes place only when we do not assume anything, do not want anything or expect nothing from ourselves. If we feel safe enough, we can begin to listen. Learning to kindly and patiently discern what is happening right here and now. We develop the ability to be fully present in our bodies. 
When we begin to truly feel and reflect what we are experiencing in the body, we can let the body guide us. Step by step, movement by movement, sensation by sensation… Each moment can be revelatory if we can perceive it truthfully. If we can respond freely and with confidence. Whatever charge the movement has, we can always feel love and peace deep within.
Again and again we learn to walk the path of trust, truthfulness and free movement response in the body Because each of us is movement, each of us is embodiment.
Somatic Healing is an intimate journey for me, with a truly personal story behind it. And I feel the same when working with every one of my  clients.

How the program looks like

We start with a talk, during which the client has a chance to share how they are feeling and where they are. We can talk about what is alive, and especially how the themes resonate in the body.
If the client wishes to remain silent, we can be silent together. It is always important to settle down and tune in together. Both to ourselves and to each other.
This is followed by the first movement prayer, which naturally opens up space for working in the here and now. We let the body speak and we listen together.
We continue with a series of movement improvisations. These are interwoven with a particular somatic theme that the body brings to the here and now. Of course, some topics go along for a longer time and they like to return.:-) The movement improvisations are guided and gradually we can uncover the depth and context of the somatic theme. They also allow us to work on some specific movement principles and skills. Because with more developed movement possibilities we can be even more free and more true in movement.
Throughout the session, and especially at the end, there is space to reflect on the movement experience together, to ask questions and share what is needed.

For whom the program is

The program is for anyone who wants to move and dance, to be close to themselves. My clients are movement beginners as well as professionals. I also like to work with teenagers, pregnant women and women after birth.
