Often I see clients who have lost contact with parts of their body (e.g. as a result of traumatic experiences) or who have an overall negative attitude/relationship to their body. After a few cranio sessions, I might suggest them to try an active (but completely relaxing and physically non-strenuous) movement session. 

There is nothing about a caterpillar tells you it´s going to be a butterfly.

These sessions are about experiencing the body ‘from inside out’ with the help of a few simple images, sounds and movement stimuli, an experience that is often new, comforting and deeply satisfying. Clients are empowered to recreate such positive experiences on their own as required, which can lead to lasting changes over time. 

The stimuli are usually verbal, but if necessary and only if desired, I also use touch or demonstrations. The individual setting makes it possible to communicate with everyone on their preferred channel. 

After such a movement session, feelings of grounded lightness, freedom, inner and outer alignment as well as being part of a Whole might be experienced.

Making friends with my own body has been quite a challenge in the past. While I could more or less accept it´s outer appearance, I just couldn´t get through to it´s inner life, sensations, feelings, emotions... all that was a big, overwhelming mystery for me. So - anybody who´s the same... I feel you! And I can assure anybody who wants to hear it that it´s a major lifechanger when the armour finally starts to melt away.  Many years of involvement with Scaravelli-inspired yoga and later on various forms of somatic bodywork such as Continuum Movement, Feldenkrais and Body-Mind-Centering helped me create an approach that is always transforming as time goes by... but like all somatic learning, it is fundamentally slow, deep, meant to have lasting effects, and it adresses the person as a whole. 

What I’m after isn’t flexible bodies, but flexible brains. What I’m after is to restore each person to their human dignity.
