Somatic Movement Therapy
Somatic Movement Therapy is a physical practice that allows us to experience a more satisfying relationship with ourselves. It is an active practice to heal our psychological and physiological wounds and guides us to engage our inner sensations. When we become more aware of our bodily experiences, we discover our limits, our unresolved pains, and our subconscious mind. We understand ourselves better through the practice of listening to our body and attuning to ourselves, thus we become closer to ourselves.

Somatic movement therapy is a physical practice that allows us to experience a more satisfying relationship with ourselves.

When we become more aware of our bodily experiences, we discover our limits, unresolved pains, and unfulfilled needs. We understand ourselves better through the practice of listening to our body and attuning to ourselves thus we become closer to ourselves.
Body is wise, resilient, functional, and expressive. Our bodies hold our stories, lived experiences, and the knowledge of what we need to complete and want to achieve. Implicit memories can surface into a conscious awareness during Somatic Movement Therapy. My professional perspective is that those memories have their own life to be lived and be acknowledged. I encourage clients to engage with this process unless it is deeply triggering for them. By simply acknowledging the discomfort and difficulties, clients can shed light on the abandoned experience. Then clients open the possibility to live their life more fully.

It is a private setting for individuals and couples. It generally begins with verbal check-in. Therapist collects both verbal and non-verbal data to assess clients movement patterns that associate with their psychological needs and desire. Therapist suggests various ways to increase range of motion and expression to find clients’ best way to re-pattern their dysfuntional movement or responses. It is very simple approach. Yet, it has a profound impact.
Therapist facilitates the session for individuals to rebuild self-esteem from interpersonal trauma and build satisfying boundaries by examining their own embodied responses regarding “yes, maybe, no”, for example. For couples, therapist focuses on identifying the dynamic between two individuals so that they can find ways to improve attunement and communication skills.
