My year of heaven, hell and healing. What I’m certain of as I roll into 2012.

In July 2010 I decided to leave Whistler for a six month hiatus. I drove many many miles in my trusty station wagon. I visited many great friends and colleagues. I followed my gut. My instincts led me. It was glorious. During the tail end of the trip I found [...]

FAQ Regarding “What I Do”

2019-04-30T13:06:34-07:00

I get a lot of the same questions from folk, trying to 'figure out' what I do, or how 'I work'. It's not an easy bunch of questions to answer because everyone is different and we all have different experiences with body-work, body-based forms of psychotherapy, movement classes etc. And [...]

Part 1. Refining the Somatic Practices: The Story of Jenny and Susan

2019-04-30T13:06:44-07:00

I think it might have been in June last year when one of my teachers said: "The somatic practices need to be more refined." These seven words really, REALLY, got me thinking. In 7 months of thinking and asking other people - my clients, colleagues, teachers - it seems unanimous: Yep. Refinement [...]
