We end up with the aforementioned problems when we become disconnected from our bodies. You have to feel to heal and you cannot feel when you are in your head or not being present.

Look around you wherever you go, we are so distracted and disconnected you see people everywhere constantly on their phones, sucking their vapes, addicted and stuck in their head that it's rare to see someone actually fully present in the moment, alive and experiencing true joy. Even childrens energy is dead as they become addicted to screens.

Being embodied, feeling your feelings and being able to fully let go and release are natural skills that your body is designed to do but like with any skill, if you don't use it, you lose it.

I created The Somatic Release Method to unlock and rebuild these natural skills in a safe and effective way and now teach this process to therapists, coaches, parents, couples or anyone who wants to increase their somatic skills to improve how they connect with themselves as well as others so they can feel alive again and experience joy, intimacy and love.

Life has to be felt in the body to be truly experienced, not analysed and judged through the mind.

Intimate relationships require attunement to yourself and others, knowing what you feel and need is impossible when you live life in your head.

You can be a great thinker, cognitively intelligent and know everything there is to know about mental health and anxiety but it doesn't mean you are a good feeler or somatically intelligent.

No course, information or degree can build the somatic skills better than actual embodied practice and thats what the Somatic Self Care Membership is all about.

There's nothing wrong with being in stress mode, or thinking and being in your head. In fact, it's essential to survive. The problem is when you get stuck there because you lack the somatic skills to navigate your way out.

The Somatic Release Method focuses on building these 3 skills:

✅ Reconnecting with your body and Recognising what you feel

Getting you out your head, into your body. Building the emotional intelligence and capacity to recognise and be present with your bodily sensations/feelings without overwhelm, suppression or judgement.

✅ Regulating your nervous system, stress, energy and emotions

Learning how to control the intensity of your embodied experience so you don't disconnect or get overwhelmed. Being able to signal safety in the body and come out of survival mode so you can let your guard down and relax

✅ Release the stress, energy and emotions

When you have regulated the intensity and created safety in your body the 3rd part of your bodies natural release process is about giving yourself love and compasion and letting go, allowing the energy to move through your body to be released so you can come back into full authentic connection with yourself and others with an open heart.

We are born with these skills and they are hard wired into us, the problem is we have blocked the natural release process through conditioning from our parents not modelling healthy emotional expression and vulnerability (as we learn through modelling and mirroring) and our peers not wanting to show we are hurt or scared so we learn to suppress and contain how we feel instead of expressing it safely.

These blocks are what stops you from healing. Anything that actually does work will guide your body through its natural release process.

Top down cognitive based therapies such as counselling, CBT, psychotherapy etc can be helpful to understand yourself and your patterns, but often won't help you to process, release and break free from them. Sometimes triggering old wounds and traumas and making it worse as they do not know how to fully guide your body through it's release process.

Even trauma based somatic therapies like EMDR can fall short when they focus on technique and lack the understanding of the underlying framework of your bodies natural release process and how to navigate it safely without overhwelm or where the practitioner lacks the somatic intelligence and experience to effectively hold space for you.

Someone can only hold space for you at the depth they can hold space for themselves.

You do not need a degree to become somatically intelligent and capable of effectively holding space. You just need to put the hours of practicing the above 3 skills through self practice and the co-regulation of others.

Because my method focuses on your bodies own natural release process, its not a matter of IF this works, but WHEN.

Working with me 121 will shorten that time frame considerably as it is much easier to learn a process when someone can guide you through it step by step. It is also a lot easier to remove the blocks to your somatic release process working with someone than trying to do it alone.

With that said though, I encourage everyone to start with this Somatic Self Care membership and even offer a free 14 day trial to see how your body responds.

You may get exactly what you need from it and might not need to go any deeper with 121 work at all, thus saving you money. I believe in using the minimum effective dose and I've had many members be more than happy with the results from the membership alone.

However, if you find blocks to the process, lack the self motivation or simply prefer faster, easier results I will be there to support you with 121 sessions.

In the live online Somatic Self Care sessions, I take my members through simple and gentle somatic exercises where we practice building the somatic skills to reconnect, recognise, regulate and release and how to show up for and heal your inner child.

These are life skills that will not only give you instant relief but will change your life for the better.
