Please note:

After many years, I’ve decided to step back from offering so many sessions.
This change allows me to focus on creating new material, to expand the reach of this method, and to pursue other interests.

Do you need personalized guidance?

My availability for in-person and zoom sessions is limited. I will make space for those who are already enthusiastically involved with the process of my movement method videos.

Generally, I do not work with beginners, unless your situation is so difficult (fibromyalgia, severe injury, lots of pain) that you need adaptation at the beginning.

The best way to begin your Somatics journey is to start at the top of the Begin Here Basics Playlist on YouTube. These videos are designed to help you explore the foundational concepts of the Eric Cooper Somatics Method at your own pace.

After the beginning, many need help applying and targeting the method to their specific situation.

If you find that you need special adaptations or deeper insight into your background holding patterns, please reach out.

Still need guidance?

“Just got done pandiculating. 4th time in two days. So so thankful. This is the medicine. If the entire globe stopped what they were doing, laid down, and did this practice at the same time, the solution we are all seeking for, the calmness and balance of the earth and our bodies, would effortlessly arise.”

“Thank you so much for our session today! Your time and dedication are truly a gift. I just went for a short walk and I feel better in my body than I have in over 2 years. It feels like a miracle! “-A., Writer in Seattle
