Somatic Education
Somatic Movement Education
Somatic education is an approach based on developing body awareness through movement. Its goal is to deepen contact with oneself and support the integration of body and mind in daily functioning.
Professional Qualifications
I work as a certified Registered Somatic Movement Educator (RSME), accredited by the international organization ISMETA (International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association), which defines the standards and scope of this profession.
In somatic work
- we learn to notice and understand signals from the body
- we develop awareness of movement, posture and habits
- we explore relationships between sensations, movement and way of being
- we discover new, more supportive movement and perceptual patterns
How the work takes place
The work takes place through experience – observation, gentle movement, guided explorations and working with attention.
It may include elements of touch work (with consent), verbal guidance or demonstration.
