Somatic therapy

The tools of Somatic Therapy are based on the idea “action and few words” and come from:
    • Massage techniques
    • Breathing exercises
    • Posture  exercises
    • Mobility & Movement exercises


Somatic Therapy sessions aim:
    1. To create body awareness.
Due to the modern lifestyle, we mostly spend our lives under the dominance of our thoughts and our mind’s processes. We usually pay attention to our body only when something goes wrong in general, or when we are in pain. Studies have shown that increased body awareness can help, among others, to prevent mental or physical diseases before they thread our wellbeing, gaining in that way precious time for their treatment.  

    2. To cultivate the connection between mind and body.
Body and Mind form an undivided whole and one cannot exist without the other.  Finding this existential wholeness in an experiential way is an important self-knowledge experience.
    3. To balance muscular and fascial tensions.
Muscular and fascial tissues are stressed in daily life from bodily, emotional and intellectual activity creating certain amount of tension that sometimes is unconsciously stored for a long time. The management of that tension becomes more demanding when stress comes simultaneously from all three types of activity. Balancing those different types of tension, and not necessarily eliminating them, has great importance for our wellbeing.

    4. To establish the importance of bodily experience.
How we feel in relation to how we think for what we feel is a balance that we have to adjust most of the time. Usually we invest more of our time in the first; it is more often to pay attention in what we think for what we feel, and less often to simply feel what happens. Because of that, the importance of bodily experience fades out during the years and we end up organizing our life mainly, according to what we think for what we feel and less often according to what we simply feel.


    5. To emphasize the subjectivity of experiential presence.
Everyone experiences life from a special and unique point of view as unique and special is every-body. In every experiential activity we can discover or re-discover our subjectivity which is an absolutely necessary ingredient in order to manage internal and external world.
