ABOUT
Somatic Facilitation is a body-based approach to therapy that supports us in guiding others (and ourselves) through a process of deep self-inquiry and capacity building with the information we receive from a visceral level.
Through conscious movement and somatic exploration, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself. You will learn skills to develop a relationship with your nervous system and build on your capacity for presence and embodiment.
Your own somatic awareness is what will help you to sustain and digest the information in the room. When we teach and facilitate from this level of awareness and while staying connected to our own bodies, our message becomes clear and directs us towards the people that are ready to receive our work in the world.

"This weekend with Lauren was a huge eye opener for me. I was truly blown away with what my body could tell me I needed on such a deep level. Lauren held such a beautiful safe space, which made it easy to open up and share. It felt so good to move my body intuitively, to listen what was best for me. Lauren provided enough guidance for you to get started and then trust yourself to move how you needed and listen to your body."

"Lauren has a wonderful way of creating a safe and supportive space to explore the body and discover somatic movement and its various tools. She teaches from a space of total passion that is so inspiring. At the introductory course I had so many “aha” moments and took away from it much more awareness of my body and how I can tap into what it is telling me on a day to day basis. Such a beautiful two days surrounded by a great group all journeying through it together guided by Lauren’s wisdom."

"Lauren guided us through a beautiful weekend of exploration. Lauren created a warm, inviting space for everyone to connect and feel supported without any judgement. I felt safe to show up exactly where I was at which looked very different both days. It was devine timing for me to truly connect with myself and my emotions and i discovered a lot that has helped draw attention to parts of myself that I had been avoiding or just felt like I'd moved passed them. Lauren is a compassionate, loving, authentic leader that holds the space for everything to arise and is able to add so much light to the experience."

"What an incredible weekend! Lauren guided us through the aspects of somatosensory facilitation in such a genuine, thoughtful way. The space was welcoming and safe, and the group was so caring and supportive of one another. The training was phenomenal, I learnt so much about not just the somatosensory system, but my own body and mind. I felt completely able to take on the knowledge and apply it straight away to my own life, as well as my work. I cannot wait to see what comes out from this amazing weekend."

What is Expressive Body Art?
"The artistry by the body to evoke emotion and imagination through shapes, gestures and movement.
This therapeutic process brings form to somatic experience so that to facilitate dialogue between inner world and out world."
