For decades I suffered substantial chronic pain from a scoliosis condition during careers as a professional dancer, dance teacher, and body worker. I’ve tried many modalities to relieve the chronic pain, including deep tissue massage, acupressure, acupuncture, yoga, and chiropractic techniques. These sometimes helped but only temporarily.

When I discovered Hanna Somatics, I realized that it offered a very different approach to pain relief. The key is changing the mapping in the brain, and the signal from the brain that governs the muscle function.

Somatic movements are very pleasurable, gentle, slow, and leave the whole body more pain free, de-stressed, and smarter physically. Hanna Somatics is about envisioning, promoting, and sustaining the smartest, freest version of YOU! 

Hanna Somatics restores and increases motion, beginning with the center and moving out to the rest of the body. This new length in the muscles can change posture and alignment. The restored motion, allows muscles to be the pumps they were designed to be, bringing more nourishment to all tissues, and can impact positively every system of the body including cardiovascular, blood pressure, digestion, lymphatic health, oxygen intake, and more.
