Somatics:

I seek to be authentic in my work and in how I relate to others. I don’t pretend to be something that I am not and intentionally create a space for you simply just be yourself. “Just meet me where I am and I’ll do the same for you” is often at the heart of many of my conversations with clients and friends.

Being-in-Movement®, created by Dr. Paul Linden, will teach you to develop an integrated mindbody state that embodies grace, power and radiant awareness to help improve performance. Informed by the Japanese Martial art of Aikido, BIM approaches the body as both an objective process governed by rules of physics and biology and a subjective process of lived consciousness governed by rules of awareness, emotion and energy. I began my training in the Japanese martial art of Aikido with Dr. Linden over a decade ago, and most recently, was awarded Level One training in BIM by Dr. Linden in March 2010. Paul is a wonderful teacher and a true innovator.

Mark Walsh at Integration Training offers excellent resources and coaching on somatics. His Youtube channel is an invaluable resource for easy to understand clips on the value and application of somatic skills.
