Transforming Suffering Into Understanding
* 2025 Registration Opens in June
Somatic Intelligence for Trauma is my foundational six week online course in Embodied Healing for Trauma and Dance Based Somatics.
I guide all of my in depth studies in movement through a metamorphosis process in waves or phases as outlined below. Each class is 60 minutes minutes long and students can return to the course material for up to one year. Students also have access to the rest of my online studio library for that time.
Land - in our first session we will embody Earth element by landing, settling, and emptying the body. All healing begins with mindfulness; which I define as acceptance of self and circumstances. Once we have grounded ourselves, we will learn the basics of how stress and trauma express in our unique constitutions.
Listen: in the Listen session of Sift, we will embody the element of Air through practices that connect us to the Vagus Nerve. Techniques practiced in this session will skillfully integrate breathwork and soundings to awaken the more sensitive layers of our psychosomatic experience.
Flow: in Flow, we will embody the element of Water by dancing with our attention. Cultivating an awareness of what we give our focus (and therefore our life) to. This is the art of attunement.
Bond: our Bond session is inspired by the structural principle of tensegrity. Through practices that foster insight into our capacity for self-regulation during conflict, we discover the importance of cultivating healthy boundaries with ourselves and others.
Morph: in Morph, we embody movement meditations that get us in touch with the Fire element. Exploring our limitations and capacities. Anger is a sacred emotion that animates us towards action in the world. Can we learn to stand in the heat of discomfort and make choices that align with our values?
Expand: in our final session together we will embody the element of Ether or space. Dancing joy, play, discovery, and curiosity. We are reminded that all life is movement and that we are of the nature to change. Belonging is all around us and trauma is an inherent aspect of being human.
Gift* all of my courses come with a beautifully designed PDF workbook
