The Body Knows
Core Work -
A Fundament of Four
'The Body Knows' represents the wisdom, knowledge, and memory inherent in every human body. This wisdom springs from something deeper than our present moment awareness—an instinctive knowledge that has guided humans for generations.
Our bodies carry somatic information that goes beyond what we can consciously remember. This includes not just memories of actual events, but also deeper, often unconscious body memories through which our nervous system communicates with us. There is a "more" within us that we can sense but don't always consciously access—a primal intelligence that feels familiar yet mysterious.
In our modern world, we have often lost touch with this fundamental source of information. Modern body psychotherapy and somatic therapy recognize this disconnection and offer pathways back to our embodied wisdom. Fields like somatic experiencing, body-oriented psychotherapy, and trauma-informed somatic approaches understand that the body holds not just our personal history, but also our innate capacity for healing and transformation.
'The Body Knows' means reconnecting with this primal and natural part of ourselves, drawing on both ancient wisdom and contemporary therapeutic understanding. It's about creating access to this living, knowing part of us and learning to include it naturally in our daily lives once again.
Everything flows into everything else, and all aspects of my work are interconnected. Life itself is fundamentally fluid and in constant change. While everything belongs together, we can approach it from different angles. Because of this interconnection, I work equally with these four core levels:
Working with the physical sensations, tensions, and wisdom held in your body's tissues and movement patterns.
Exploring and honoring the emotional landscape—both what we feel and what we've learned not to feel.
Connecting with the vital life force that moves through us and our deeper spiritual knowing.
Understanding how our thoughts, beliefs, and mental patterns shape our experience and can either support or limit us.
Each level informs and supports the others, creating a holistic approach to healing and growth.
