Somatic therapy operates off the idea that what happens to you in your life is stored not only in your mind but also in your body. Our body holds the memory of every experience we’ve ever had. Like the physical scars we bear from accidents or procedures in life, we too have internal scars - little marks on our nervous system. These internal scars can influence our physical and physiological sensitivity, they can wreak havoc with our emotional resilience, and cause us to disconnect from our body as a way of coping with the pain. Somatic Movement Therapy (SMT) helps you re-engage with the sensations of your body, release chronic muscular tension patterns and integrate your breath for deep relaxation. Ultimately, it facilitates an experience for profound physical and emotional healing through movement. A somatic movement is performed consciously with the intention of focusing on the internal experience of the movement rather than the external appearance or result of the movement.
