I am an Adjunct Faculty at Onsite Workshops, working about once a month with different clients for 2 1/2 hour intensive sessions along with their Guide/Therapist and offering somatic experiencing and body mapping. I find this work deeply meaningful and often profoundly healing, and though somatic healing and centering is not my primary professional focus, I believe in this work and from time to time offer private sessions independently.
In your home or other private space, I can offer a session focusing on deepening body awareness, centering, shaking and sounding practices to release grief or anxiety, deep grounding practices, or promoting energetic clarity. My background in somatic and healing work comes from various teachers and programs, including training in SomEx Module 1 with the Experiential Healing Center in Memphis, TN, as well as a lifetime spent “in my body” as a dancer. I work in the Greater Nashville area.
One-session testimonial:
“I was blessed to receive this work recently with Amanda and I can highly recommend it and her to you. We non-dancers can get way out of touch with our bodies and this work reconnects us and also has a calming and centering effect on the brain.” — LJ Ratliff, LCSW
Multi-session testimonial:
“Amanda is a truly gifted and sensitive person whom I sought for help to connect with my body and learn how to ‘be in my skin.’ She proved herself to be a gentle, informative guide who deepened my understanding of the mind/body connection, helped me to be ‘friends’ with my body, and taught me exercises that will help me transition from an antagonistic relationship with my body to a friendship with it. Amanda created a safe space for me to explore body movement without feeling judged. Our work together has been a treasured, invaluable component of my own healing, physical and emotional. I have been so blessed by the crossing of our paths!” — Gwen
