    HOW DOES SOMATIC MOVEMENT IMPROVE MENTAL HEALTH?

    Decreases stress, anxiety and fear

    The body responds to stress, anxiety and fear by becoming hypervigilant.  When stress, anxiety and fear is prolonged, the body becomes extremely tense and oversensitive to its  surroundings which leads to discomfort and pain.  Somatic Movement Education addresses the body's need to feel safe and brings it into a state of balance and harmony using the sensory motor feedback loop of the somatic nervous system to release, lengthen and completely relax tight muscles.   Learning how to relax tight muscles allows the mind to feel safe, relaxed and calm.  When the body is relaxed the mind is relaxed and vice versa.  

    IMPROVES SLEEP

    Sleep is not only effective for the physical body, but it also helps maintain cognitive skills, such as improving your memory, attention span, and the ability to regulate emotions.  Doing somatic movement before bed for as little as 15 minutes per day can improve sleep by teaching your brain to release and relax muscle tension that has accumulated throughout the day.  To relax is to shift into the Parasympathetic Nervous System mode, that encourages rest, digest, and repair, which in turn results in an improvement in the duration and quality of sleep. 

    INCREASES INNER CONFIDENCE

    By turning your attention inward and mindfully sensing and feeling movement, you gain a greater sense of mastery to recognize your strength and optimal potential for positive change.  Somatic movement allows you to be brought back into a safe, comfortable and pleasant experience of yourself, because you learn who you are and what you are capable of through movement.  Somatic movement is a liberating practice that leads you to be comfortable in your own skin and fully engaging in life.

    Why Somatic movement Education? How can it benefit you?

    Listen to Erik's journey.

    Erik's Somatic Movement Education Journey

    "I felt this release in my neck that I couldn't find in any other treatments."

    "I was involved in a severe car accident a few years ago where a drunk  driver hit me from behind at about 80kmh.  The whiplash was quite severe  and life altering.  I spent months in rehab and physio getting IMS and all sorts of other treatments like massage therapy etc. They seem to help temporarily but they just  wouldn't release the tension in my neck and upper back and they started  to cost too much money.  


    Teresa introduced me to somatics and   gave me a few free lessons at first, to see if it would help and to practice her teaching.  In the initial session, I followed her movement cues along and about an hour in my neck and face started feeling  numb.  I started crying as though the emotion from the accident was  suppressing my neck from healing.  I felt this release in my neck that I couldn't find in any other treatments.  I started going  to her classes once a week and learning more about somatics.  It has been fascinating to learn and Teresa has a gift of teaching that is second to  none. She's comfortable to be around and very encouraging.  


    I've incorporated somatics in my routine at home and it's  helped me in various ways especially sleeping.  Its important to be disciplined of course like anything in life but when I am it's of great  benefit.  I still have a long healing journey ahead of me but somatics will be a big part of that along the way."
