Somatic Education
Being in a Living Body, in a Living Ecosystem
How might it be to connect with your experience as if it were a vibrant centre within a living system?
What is it that brings you most alive?
What is the work that longs to come through you?
And might it be possible to attend to that aliveness from a well-resourced place within yourself?
What is Somatic Education?
Soma is the lived experience - the felt sense - of being in a conscious body.
Somatic Education is any process that facilitates a coming home to our own inherent biological intelligence, by working through or with the body, the felt sense and the whole being.
It is a very broad church that is a holding place for many modalities that work using some of the following principles:
It honours the self as sovereign as well as inter-connected and acknowledges that we are each whole, creative, resourceful and changing.
Somatic Education is a re-education or re-wilding or re-membering... a moving away from objectification culture and towards a lived experience of integration and wholeness.
It is good medicine for our species.
What Somatic Education opportunities do you offer?
The approaches I offer include Feldenkrais, Somatic Coaching, Embodied Enquiries, Integrative Somatic Feedback, online courses for nurturing aliveness, mentoring packages and also, training programs for actors, coaches and trainers learning to work with and listen to the body in their practices.
I provide beautifully held containers for you to get to know your own universe and begin living into the longed for possibilities.

What is Feldenkrais?
The Feldenkrais Method is a system of Somatic Education that helps us develop awareness of how we do what we do each day, and supports us to make better choices.
It is brilliant for expanding our range of movement and making everything we do less effortful, more enjoyable and more graceful. It does so through exploring very subtle movement with awareness, resulting in neuroplastic change.
It is taught either in group instruction via Awareness Through Movement lessons, or via one-on-one work on a couch called Functional Integration.
Rachel is a qualified teacher of Awareness Through Movement and completed her teacher training at the Feldenkrais International Training School in Lewes in 2021.
