SOMATIC PRESENCE
Become a nurturing presence – for others and for yourself.
Somatic presence is something you can learn: staying connected to your own body while you care for others, so giving and receiving come back into balance.
Does this sound familiar?
You give more than you receive.
You're tired in a way sleep doesn't fix.
You lose yourself the moment someone needs you.
Everything is all right with you. You've learned to be there for others – and now it's time to look after your own needs too. You can give and, at the same time, receive what you need.
Why somatic presence
People often tell me that being with me feels nurturing. For eighteen years I've worked with bodies, movement and relationship, and what I've learned is that this kind of presence isn't a personality trait. It can be learned, practised and lived – in your own body.
