What To Expect

About Somatics

Somatics is a field of movement studies and bodywork that foregrounds the body's internal physical sensations, perceptions, and experiences. Through somatic practices, there is an opportunity to listen to the inherent wisdom of the body. We tap into the subtle body supported by our sensory system and inner awareness. The body is honored not as a performative tool but as a gateway to the present moment and a holder of stories, both difficult and delightful, that can when explored cultivate a path toward living with ease and authenticity. There are many modalities for this work. The work that Kate embraces utilizes embodied meditation, guided breath, and natural movement practices that allow us to drop into what is held in the body. She offers a supported touch to enhance the inner experience. There is a collaborative development of somatic practices that can be incorporated into daily life and practiced independently. Her work is deeply respectful of the pace and process of the participant and is trauma-informed.

Individual, partner, and small group practices are offered.

Open Door is also committed to bringing in guest teachers who offer their own expertise and talents to somatic work.
