Somatic Movement & Body Mind Centering
“ Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) is an integrated and embodied approach to movement, the body and consciousness. Developed by Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, it is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical and developmental principles, utilizing movement, touch, voice and mind.”
School of Body Mind Centering
INDIVIDUAL SESSIONS OF SOMATIC MOVEMENT EDUCATION AND BODYWORK
For adults wanting to explore the mind body relationship , whether it be to lower stress and anxiety levels, work with developmental movement patterns, physical or emotional difficulty or for the insights creativity and meaning that can arise from being deeply connected and present to ourselves. In its essence it's about exploring embodied functional movement.
A session might involve a combination of any of the aforementioned areas Developmental Movement, hands-on touch, exploring tension in the body from a somatic perspective.
Sometimes the idea of exploring movement can be uncomfortable so it is something that we can work up to over time. The movements can also be small movements such as focusing on the breath in the ribcage . It might be more functional/ structural such as exploring pelvic stability, getting more movement in the shoulder girdle or wanting to explore stress patterns

WORKSHOPS
The workshops are range from 1.5 hours to 4 hours long and are based around exploring a theme, often working around a body system or part of a system such as an aspect of the Nervous System or exploring cellular breathing. They are largely experiential and sometimes a work sheet might be given to serve as a map.
