Promote better outcomes for clients in pain, and greater comfort in your own body

SEPs, psychotherapists and counsellors: Integrate Clinical Somatics for a truly embodied approach to help clients resolve stuck stress, dysregulation, and chronic pain.

 

“Although I had read about the ‘body keeping the score’ it wasn’t until this course that I grasped the concept of the body and the mind being one, rather than there being a separate mind and body. This awareness has meant that I now pay attention to my client’s body and what it is communicating rather than just listening to the words that they are saying… it has also been a personal journey for me … I have become more aware of my own body and how to release stored stress.”

Why integrate Clinical Somatics?

  • Increase your capacity to help clients address and release stress and trauma, with focused movement work that supports other ‘somatic’ approaches.

  • Clinical Somatics is the ‘missing piece’: listening to the whole, embodied person and using specific, stress-response-informed movement to create change supports your clients more fully than somatic sensing and awareness alone.

  • Help clients with MUS, chronic pain conditions, chronic symptoms related to trauma & more - directly, effectively, and at a pace that suits them.

  • Work with the original Clinical Somatics (Thomas Hanna’s CSE), for specific neuromuscular strategies clearly structured around stress response patterns & supported by contemporary neuroscience.

  • Help clients access & release stuck stress ‘even if’ that’s not (yet) showing up in them as physical symptoms.

Hello, I’m Samantha.

I love books, cats, and crows (ok, all animals). And my life completely changed when I discovered Clinical Somatics!

A life-long learner, I trained as a psychotherapist because it brought together aspects of previous jobs & experiences that I’d loved. Then, I discovered Hanna’s ‘Clinical Somatic Education’, and got rid of my decades-long chronic pain in a few short months. I also felt way less stressed than I’d ever believed possible, so was able to start addressing past trauma, and to help clients address their embodied stress, too.

That’s why now I train therapists to integrate and embody Clinical Somatics as part of their practice - to benefit their clients, themselves, and their practice.
