ABOUT OUR PRACTICES
Hanna Somatic Movement
Ever feel a tight muscle in your neck and shoulder and wish you could "undo" the contraction and release the pain?
​
This is exactly what you learn to do in Hanna Somatic Movement. This little known modality of movement and bodywork is incredibly effective at training your nervous system to release chronically contracted muscles.
​
Every life experience comes with a muscular pattern: from daily stress, sitting at a desk to major traumas and car accidents. These tension patterns layer on our bodies and create immobility, pain and discomfort.
​
Using this powerful, gentle, deeply sensuous movement technique, you will release and lengthen tight muscles back to a more natural length and feel a sense of peace, calm and freedom within your body, mind and spirit.
Breathwork®
Breathwork® is a powerful self-healing modality that awakens your body’s natural ability to release stress, expand awareness, and invite profound transformation. Unlike other breathwork practices, it uses a unique pattern of open-mouth, rhythmic, relaxed belly breathing with no pause between the inhale and exhale. Combined with gentle acupressure, sound, movement, affirmations, and somatic techniques, Breathwork® helps clear blocked energy, reset the nervous system, and open you to a deeper connection with yourself. In just one session, you can experience deep relaxation, emotional release, and a cleansing of body and mind that feels like years of inner work.
​
Breathwork®, you give yourself the gift of entering a calm, balanced state where healing and growth naturally unfold. This practice supports detoxification, enhances mental clarity, and fosters a profound connection with your higher self for insight and guidance. Participants often describe sessions as life-changing, offering benefits that ripple into every area of their lives. Whether you are seeking stress relief, emotional healing, or a pathway to personal growth, Breathwork® provides a safe, integrative, and holistic approach to transformation one that empowers you to live with greater vitality, freedom, and joy.
