What is Somatic Therapy?

Somatic stands for Body. We work by taking a Mind-Body approach to healing and re-stabilising our bodies and nervous systems. Through our studies and research with ourselves and our clients we have understood that Mind is in constant conversation with Body. We integrate both psycho principles alongside Somatics to create an in depth therapy that facilitates the healing back to yourself, before trauma clouded our experience and understanding of life.

We work by taking a mind-body approach because we believe real healing comes in a symbiotic relationship and conversation between the two.

Somatics works with the understanding that emotional repression is the driver of our suffering. Therefore all our approaches target the emotional body, to release old unprocessed trauma, when once upon a time it was not safe to feel and express.

Why does Amanae sometimes cause physical pain?

This work is not meant to be painful but it often can be as many of us are holding onto emotion that has become frozen and trapped in the muscles and tissues of our Bodies. Frozen emotion is what equals pain, and the more we can be with this pain, meeting it with our breath and welcoming it into our experience, the more we might experience a dissolving and shift of energy, often presenting as a strong release of emotion, or as a heat or chill moving through our internal senses.
