one-to-one somatics
Individual sessions. Time to listen. Space to explore.
One-to-one Somatics offers time and space to explore your body, movement and experience at your own pace.
Sessions are shaped around you - your needs, your questions and what you're noticing. Through slow, guided movement and sensory awareness, we explore habitual patterns, discover different possibilities for moving and resting, and develop a deeper understanding of your own experience.
What happens in a session?
We begin with a conversation. I'll already have some background from the form you complete beforehand, but there's time to talk about what's brought you to Somatics, ask questions and explore what you're hoping for.
The movement is generally slow, gentle and exploratory, working on the floor in different positions - lying on your back, side or front. I guide you through movement suggestions and questions that invite you to notice your own sensations and responses.
You might be invited to share something you're noticing, but much of the time the questions are simply there to support your own internal exploration. There's no need to find the right answer or describe everything you're experiencing. I may suggest practising with your eyes closed, if that feels comfortable.
I think of this as a process of shared inquiry. Rather than following a fixed sequence, we let your experience guide the work. What you notice in one movement might inform what we explore next, and what emerges in one session helps shape the next. My role is to guide the exploration and offer possibilities, while remaining responsive to your experience.
A process that unfolds over time
Somatics isn't usually a quick fix. You may notice something different after a single session, but developing a deeper awareness of habitual patterns and exploring new possibilities takes time.
I generally recommend beginning with a series of at least three sessions, allowing time for the work to develop and for you to begin exploring what you're discovering between appointments. Each session builds on what has come before, with the direction guided by your experience and what emerges along the way.
This isn't about committing to a predetermined course of treatment. We'll work together to find an approach that feels appropriate for you, and review how things are developing as we go.
Who might it be for?
One-to-one Somatics may suit you if you're:
Living with persistent pain, tension or restricted movement, and curious about a different way of relating to your body.
Experiencing fatigue, stress or overwhelm, and looking for a quieter, less demanding form of movement.
Someone’s who’s spent time in therapy or exploring your inner world, and feel drawn to a more body-based approach to understanding your experience.
Finding that familiar movement habits no longer serve you, perhaps following an injury or as your body changes.
Interested in Somatics but unsure whether a group class is the right place to start.
Wanting individual attention to explore your movement and experience more deeply, with or without a particular problem to solve.
Drawn to meditation, but finding it difficult to settle through seated practice, whether because of physical discomfort or a restless mind.
You don't need previous experience of Somatics or Yoga. We can begin with what's present for you and take it from there.

frequently asked questions
-
Sessions currently take place in my garden studio in Westacre, Norfolk. From early 2027, I'll be seeing clients in a dedicated studio room at my new home in Marlingford, near Norwich.
-
You'll complete a short form beforehand so I have some background about you and what has brought you to Somatics. We'll begin with a conversation, with time for questions, before exploring movement together. You don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you need or what you hope to achieve.
-
This is very individual and depends on what brings you to Somatics, what you're hoping to explore and how the work unfolds for you.
I generally recommend beginning with a series of at least three sessions, giving you time to become familiar with the approach and explore what emerges between appointments. For some people, this is enough to feel they've gained what they need; others find that the work continues to unfold over a longer period, with each session building on the last.
Many people choose to continue beyond their initial sessions, often working in blocks of four. We can review how things are developing as we go, and you can decide what feels right for you.
-
No. Sessions are shaped around your experience, needs and comfort. You don't need to be familiar with the movements or have any particular level of fitness or flexibility.scription
-
Where helpful, I'll suggest simple practices to explore between sessions. These might be movements we've worked with together, or something as simple as taking a few minutes to rest, breathe and notice how you feel. The intention is to support your exploration, not give you another demanding routine to fit into your day.
-
An initial appointment costs £75 for a minimum of 75 minutes. Individual follow-up sessions cost £65 for a minimum of 60 minutes, or you can book a block of four follow-up sessions for £230 (£57.50 per session), saving £30 compared with booking individually. The block is payable in advance and sessions must be used within nine weeks.
