Online Sessions

If you do not have a Clinical (Hanna) Somatic Educator in your area, but would like to begin learning how to move pain-free, private online  sessions are available for distance clients.

WHAT IS A PRIVATE online CLINICAL SESSION?

Online sessions are the best option for those looking for one-on-one guidance from a Clinical Somatic Educator, but do not have anyone in their area. Online sessions provide many of the same benefits as in-person clinical sessions, though hands-on guidance is not possible; a series of at least three sessions is advised in order to integrate the learning. Please allow at least 5-7 days between sessions.

WHAT HAPPENS IN AN ONLINE CLINICAL SESSION?

Your posture will be assessed before the start of each lesson to determine which clinical lesson you need. Each clinical lesson focuses on one specific stress reflex pattern that is present in your posture. Only one pattern may be release at a time, so further sessions may be advised.  After your assessment, you will begin your movement lesson. You will be guided through gentle, easy movements that are designed to restore sensation and control of muscles at the brain level and reverse your specific patterns of chronic muscular tension. At the conclusion of each session you will learn specific Somatic Movements to practice on your own. A daily 5-10 minute Somatics routine reinforces the improvement you achieve during each session. These self-care movements are the linchpin to long-term pain relief and efficient movement.
