About a session

What to expect

During a somatic therapy session, there is a gentle invitation to listen and understand the language of your body, to articulate that language into words, and to integrate this knowledge into your daily life.


Duration and comfort

Each session lasts 60 minutes and happens lying down fully clothed on a soft massage table. I recommend that you wear comfortable clothing. The room temperature is carefully monitored to create a warm and cozy environment.


The somatic process

Through very gentle touch and movement I will invite you to explore the sensations present in different parts of your body such as legs, hips, and shoulder blades. Through guiding questions I will invite you to put them into words. Most clients experience a deep state of mindful connection with themselves during this process that allows them to dive deeply and safely into the areas that need exploring at that moment.


Genuine support

As your ally and witness to your own work, I might suggest connections, dialogues or deepening questions. Trust between therapist and client is paramount and I encourage constant feedback to make sure all clients feel comfortable, supported, nurtured and safe. The session includes a careful and mindful transition at the end, to guarantee that your insights are integrated into your daily life.
