Most somatic movements are undertaken laying on a carpet or mat but can also be performed sitting in a chair. You will be taught how to contract muscles in a specific way that will retrain your nervous system to be aware of and release muscle tension.

Personal Experiences
Somatic movement can help in many ways. Here are some personal experiences
K, Holt
Having done Yoga for years, I was surprised by how amazing somatic movement is- the gentlest of movements have the greatest effect. Claire has the most calming voice, and her instructions and guidance are clear and easy to understand. Not only have I slept better, but I have also had a lot of trouble and pain with my shoulder, it is now so much better. It was quite incredible that at the start of the sessions, one shoulder was considerably dropped compared to the other, and now I am level again- amazing!

I was struggling with menopausal symptoms, stress from a full on teaching job and a messy relationship break up. Somatics taught me to release tension I didn't know I had - helping me to relax, manage long term lower back issues and sleep better.

Somatic's has proven to be a revelation! I had always carried tension in my legs. This tension had led to back pain and increasingly a sense that my body was beginning to fail me, compounding my lack of motivation to do anything about it. Somatic movement instruction, in the care of Claire, has been transformative. I now have the skills and self awareness to reduce the tension in my legs, mitigating the pain I was experiencing in my back and have returned to jogging without the fear of injury. More than that, Claire has empowered me to be less critical of my body and work with it rather than against it. Somatic's has given me the confidence to respond to the tensions I carry in a sustainable and enduring way. Thank you Claire
