Somatic Therapy: Awareness in Mind and Body

Somatic work helps you notice how pressure and overthinking show up in your body — the tension before a meeting, the held breath when speaking up, or the tightness that lingers after a long day. By becoming aware of these patterns, you can let go of what’s holding you back and feel more grounded, open, and confident in how you move through work and life.

How Somatic Support Works

Somatic work helps you notice automatic body responses to stress and pressure — holding your breath, tensing your shoulders, or feeling drained. By gently interrupting these patterns, you can move, breathe, and respond with more calm, balance, and self-assurance.

Alexander Technique Informed

Alexander work teaches subtle awareness of tension and effort:

  • Tight shoulders before a presentation
  • Shallow breath when speaking up
  • Stiffness from wanting to “get it right”
 

By releasing unnecessary effort and moving with awareness, you develop a quieter confidence, clearer communication, and a grounded presence.

What You Can Discover

Mind and body are connected — how you think shapes how you move, breathe, and feel. In sessions, you’ll start to notice this connection in simple, practical ways.

Gentle hands-on guidance and clear verbal cues
To help you tune into how your body responds to pressure.

Noticing patterns linked to stress or self-doubt
Like tensing, holding your breath, or bracing without realising it.

Learning small shifts that bring ease, balance, and energy
So you can move and respond with more calm and clarity.

Over time, this awareness supports a calmer mind, freer movement, and a more grounded, confident way of showing up at work and in daily life.

How This Work Helps

Young professionals often carry tension without realising it. Somatic work:

  • Identifies habits that drain confidence and energy
  • Helps you meet challenges with more ease, physically and mentally
  • Supports clearer thinking, calmer communication, and better self-trust
 

You’ll find it easier to speak up, set boundaries, and trust your decisions — not by trying harder, but by softening what holds you back.
