Welcome
Somatic therapy, bodywork and embodied practices for people who want to feel more, understand themselves more deeply, and live with greater clarity and choice.
The Centre for Somatics brings together somatic exploration, movement, touch and conversation to work with the places where insight alone isn't enough.
Wondering, if this is for you?
You may be someone who manages a lot.
You think things through, take responsibility, get things done
and generally keep going.
And yet something may have become harder to ignore.
Perhaps you feel disconnected from your body. Perhaps you are exhausted from holding everything
together. Perhaps you understand yourself intellectually but keep finding yourself in the same patterns.
Or perhaps nothing is particularly wrong. You simply have a sense that there is more available to you —
more sensuality, more confidence, more pleasure, more freedom, more possibility.
There are two ways into this work.
Both begin with becoming more intimate with your own
experience.
HEALING & INTEGRATION
When something needs care.
You may be navigating trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, grief, chronic pain, illness, addiction, recovery, fertility treatment, relationship difficulties or a major life transition.
Sometimes the body carries what we have not yet been able to fully process or put into words.
Sometimes we have become so practised at coping that we barely notice the cost.
Somatic therapy and bodywork offer a way of approaching these experiences through both embodied
exploration and conversation.
We pay attention to sensation, emotion, movement, breath, tension, impulse and relationship, while also
making space to think, reflect and find language for what you are experiencing.
The aim isn't to erase difficult experiences or make you perfectly regulated.
It is to help you develop more capacity to meet what is happening, understand yourself more clearly, and
have greater freedom in how you respond.
You might come looking for:
• support after trauma or difficult experiences
• relief from chronic stress and overwhelm
• a different relationship with anxiety
or emotional intensity
• support through grief and loss
• greater agency around chronic pain
or illness
• help during burnout or major life changes
• support alongside addiction recovery
• a way back into connection with yourself and others
DISCERNMENT & ALIVENESS
When you don't want to fix yourself. You want to know yourself more deeply.
You may already function well. You may be successful, capable and self-aware.
But perhaps you have become very good at managing your life without fully inhabiting it.
You want to know what you actually want.
To recognise what feels good — and what doesn't.
To distinguish desire from habit, genuine choice from adaptation, intimacy from performance.
To feel more comfortable with pleasure, uncertainty, vulnerability and being seen.
This work develops sensuality, discernment and embodied confidence.
Not sensuality simply as sexuality, but as the capacity to be touched by your own life: to notice, receive, respond, enjoy and remain curious.
And not discernment as judgement, but as the ability to sense subtle differences and recognise what isgenuinely yours.
You might come looking for:
• greater self-knowledge and confidence
• clearer boundaries
• a deeper relationship with your desires, pleasure and sensuality
• more freedom in intimacy and relationships
• greater clarity around choices
and life direction
• more spontaneity, creativity and play
• a stronger sense of agency and self-trust
• a more satisfying relationship
with your own body
WHERE THE TWO MEET
Could I experience my life differently?
We pay attention to sensation, emotion, movement, breath, tension, impulse and relationship, while also
making space to think, reflect and find language for what you are experiencing.
The aim isn't to erase difficult experiences or make you perfectly regulated.
It is to help you develop more capacity to meet what is happening, understand yourself more clearly, and
have greater freedom in how you respond.
Over time, this work can help you:
• Feel more at home in your body.
• Recognise what is happening before you automatically react.
• Know what you want.
• Become clearer about needs, boundaries, desire and choice.
• Stay present.
• Develop more capacity to remain with difficult emotions without shutting down or becoming overwhelmed.
• Change familiar patterns.
• Notice what happens in relationships and begin to respond differently.
• Become more available for intimacy and feel more deeply.
• Stay connected to yourself while being close to another person.
• Reconnect with pleasure and creativity.
• Make room for experiences that may have become difficult to access.
Start where you are.
You don't need to know exactly what you need before you get in touch.
You don't need to have the right language for what is happening.
And you don't need to be in crisis.
CLASSES & WORKSHOPS
"LE CœUR RÉSONANT"- the resonant core" is developed for people who want to become more curious about how they inhabit themselves and relate to the world. In this framework we work with intimacy and touch, boundaries and desires, resourcing and exploration.
COUNSELLING &
SOMATIC BODYWORK
We offer Somatic Bodywork in a therapeutic and coaching context for stress and pain relief, trauma work, anxiety reduction or more intimacy with yourself and others as well as navigating life-changes.
REIKI
We offer Reiki sessions as a time to rest, receive and turn your attention inward.
There is nothing to achieve and nothing you need to work out.
Simply a space to slow down and trust Reiki to support and hold you.
