"Hi Stefani! Thanks so much for your time, expertise, and care yesterday. I woke up without a headache or neck pain this morning, which feels great 😊"
A lovely followup from a beautiful human that I had the privelege of working with.
As a clinical hanna somatic educator I work WITH you, not ON you.
I engage with your KQ & EQ (kinetic and emotional= somatic quotient) feeling, sensing percieving integrated self, as opposed to only your IQ (intelligence quotient) thinking, analyzing, separate self.
As a society we been conditioned to reguard IQ as the dominent quotient by which our intelligence is determined, and as a result we disconnect from our primal, instinctual somatic intelligence. Our nervous system reflexes are designed to support regulation and recalibration. When we disconnect from this quotient, we develop sensory motor amnesia.. the root of 90% of our physical pain according to Thomas Hanna, which directly effects how we move physically and energetically in the world. Our relationships with people, the planet and ourselves are all connected! SQ AQ CQ all develop and sharpen with somatic practices, because we are whole, integrated beings.
Somatic education is not just a highly effective, pain free and reliable scientific system of physiotherapy and neuro-muscular re-patterning, but it is also a deeply nourishing practice of personal development, self awareness and whole being integration.
When I as "body worker" or educator touch another person, every touch is communication. I do so with the utmost respect and regard to the privelege that I have as a practitioner to be invited into the intimate and sacred space of the whole person that is present before me. In this way, our somas engage in a dialogue. An intelligent conversation. Not a cognitive, verbal exchange, but rather a somatic, sensing, feeling, percieving form of communication that it more subtle, and sophosticated in its simplicity. I drop neurophysiological nuggets along the way to help our conditioned cognitive mind (more fluent language for most), relax into, and begin to learn the language of their soma, bodily sensations and nervous system responses.
Healing intentional touch, gentle specific guidance and healing sound wave frequencies are a part of the SoMagic that happens in this space. Magic, might be defined as science we dont yet understand. I help you demystify the experience of your own SoMagic field, so you can access it anytime, anywhere from within yourself. Id love to welcome you into this space!
May all beings move well, with freedom and with ease and re-member their BElonging.
🫶 Stefani
