  • 11 - Series

    This consists of 11-sessions that each address a specific part of the body, yet also work to balance the whole. Sessions are generally one to two weeks apart and approximately 1.5 to 2 hours in length. In addition to the actual bodywork, movement re-education, reading materials, journaling and other activities may be used. Furthermore, each session builds on the previous, so completing the 11-session series is important for receiving the most benefit. Often clients will notice changes from one appointment to the next, with their bodies often eager to receive the next session.

  • Treatment Sessions

    A treatment session is recommended if you are wanting to work on a specific issue. We can do a stand alone session, sessions to prep you for the series, or a mini series of 3 to 5 sessions to address an issue. These sessions are based on the clients needs and can vary in time. Please reach out to me so we can plan your specific treatment session. Results from doing the 11 - series can have a better long term effect than doing consistent treatment work.

The Soma 11 - Series: What does it involve?

The Superficial Layer Sessions:

Session 1: The Rib Cage. The focus of this session is to release tension in the tissue surrounding the rib cage and to lengthen the lower back. A key benefit of this work is enhanced breathing, allowing for deeper, fuller breaths that increase cardiac output. Proper diaphragmatic breathing helps to slow the heart rate, reduce stress and tension, improve oxygen intake, and promote mental clarity and calmness.

Session 2: The Legs and Feet. The focus of this session is on the foundational structures of the body, specifically the lower legs and feet. This work helps to lengthen the backline and fosters a strong sense of grounding.

Session 3: The Sides. This session focuses on the dynamic relationship between the pelvis, rib cage, and shoulder girdle. Building on the work from Session One, it delves deeper into the fascia to address deeper restrictions. This session is particularly beneficial for alleviating shoulder pain and further releasing any limitations that may be hindering optimal breathing.

The Core Sessions:

Session 4, 5, & 6: Focus of these sessions is to adjust and lengthen the center line, or core, that runs vertically through the body (Soma Institute).

Session 7: Head and Neck. The focus of this session is to release the muscles of the neck, face and head. One big element of this session is addressing forward head posture, TMJ pain, headaches, and neck. Intra-oral jaw work is included in this session.

The Integration Sessions:

Session 8 & 9: Integration. The focus of these session is to integrate the lower and upper body in a new more efficient way. This is the key to the lasting effects and want the body-mind to fully own the new way of moving and being in the world.

Session 10: Arms. The focus of this session is to release and integrate the arms and shoulders.

Session 11: Integration. The focus of this session is to integrate the whole body in a new and more efficient manner.

You do not need to commit to the entire series at once, sessions 1-3, 7 and 10 can be done as a stand alone session.

I suggest trying sessions 1-3 as a starting point if you are unsure about the entire series.

The work may be more effective if you are able to do the sessions within 1-2 weeks of each other.
