Over dit evenement
*EVENT POSTPONED TO 24 JANUARY DUE TO BAD WEATHER*
Are you interested in trauma-informed and body-centered therapies? Would you like to explore bodywork and experience how it works? Or perhaps you want to pursue a career as a bodyworker?
✅ Most people turn bodywork and somatic therapies when traditional talk therapies feel slow or repetitive. They are looking for an alternative method and find working through the body interesting and effective.
Traditional talk therapy is a "top down" approach and focuses on the mind first. Somatic therapies, like the Grinberg Method are a holistic "bottom up" approach focusing on the body first.
🫁❤️ In the sessions, we look at what happens in your body when you talk about the issue and we work with the tensions patterns that are actively playing out. Is your body stuck, tight or numb? Are you in pain? Is fear debilitating you? Are you holding your breath? Where do you feel the anxiety? Is your heart closed?
🌿 We look at the physical and emotional patterns that cause pain, fear and suffering… and through breath, touch and movement we work with you to trace and undo the patterns. The results are profound and felt almost immediately when you work with the body.
