“The Art of Somatic Touch, is about un-learning the habits which obstruct your natural ability to relax and release in the present. Learning to be self-compassionate and more fully alive in your body with whatever is happening now - no matter what!” - Michael Harrison
Somatic Touch Therapy is a gentle and powerful form of holistic care that develops sensory awareness of the mind-body connection. It helps you release stress, frustration, and suffering that are held in your body from past negative experiences such as injury, trauma and drama. The goal is to free you from habitual neuromuscular pain, clenching and rumination that prevent you from grounded presence and fully engaging in your life.
The techniques used are Michael’s interpretation of approaches used by Tom Bowen, an amazing Australian natural healer and Michael's 50 years of professional experience using mindfulness-based holistic bodywork strategies. Somatic Touch Therapy resets and rebalances the underlying energetic imbalances by employing gentle and precise rolling moves over soft tissue in the body called "fascia". As the whole body returns to balance, symptoms drop away. Often quickly. The key to lasting functional balance and ease is the practice of embodied Awareness, Awareness, Sensory Awareness here and now.
" The Pause That Refreshes."
During a session, Michael will often apply a Somatic touch “move” - and then observe a pause allowing the body rest for 2-5 minutes. This is the potent space in time for your innate body intelligence to rebalance and self-heal.
Sessions typically last between 30 to 60 minutes and are performed through light clothing, without any requirement to undress. A person may need between one and three sessions to see the full benefits of the therapy. Those with chronic conditions may need more.
