WHO BENEFITS FROM STRUCTURAL INTEGRATION?

WHO BENEFITS FROM SOMATIC EXPERIENCING?

WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT?

  • People in high stress or physically demanding jobs

  • People who sit for long hours at desks or work on computers

  • People suffering from tension or injury-related aches and pains

  • People in chronic pain wishing to avoid invasive interventions

  • People who feel they are living and working below their inherent potential

  • Athletes, dancers, and physically active people who want to improve performance and reduce risk of future injury

  • People who believe a balanced, responsive body is necessary for the full development of the human being

  • People in every age group—infants to seniors

 

Anyone who’s experienced a threat, circumstance or event where there was little or no support, where the event felt intolerable, or felt stuck, frightened, angry or overwhelmed. High arousal events can and do stay in our bodies and disrupt our ability to live our lives fully. Somatic Experiencing can help to neutralize the pent up energy. 

Clients report  feeling greater vitality and energy. They’re able to breathe more efficiently, flexibility is increased and chronic pain is relieved. Balance and coordination improves and they move with more grace and ease. Body awareness and the mind body connection strengthens with enhanced physical and emotional balance in their life. Attachment issues, developmental traumas and relationships repair. Clients become more resilient, empowered and engaged. They learn more effective strategies for coping with stresses, how to move more efficiently, what movements cause them pain, and specific practices to help them improve.

THE WORK

WHAT HAPPENS IN A SESSION?

If it’s your first appointment with me we’ll sit down together and I’ll ask you some basic health questions, answer any questions you have for me and take you through some basic diagnostics. I may watch you walk, lift your arms up, bend your knees - the movements will vary and depend upon what’s happening in your unique body. 

 

Sometimes I’ll ask that you pause when you’re describing something and ask you to become aware of your body. This can happen seated, standing or lying down on my table. Often toward the beginning of the appointment I’ll ask you to lie on the table (in comfortable clothes), generally on your back or side, and I’ll apply gentle pressure to muscles, bones or joints. I’ll ask you what it feels like and often guide you to make subtle movements that may change the sensations you’re experiencing.

 

The method I use is a two-way process for integrating the body. I use physical pressure to stretch or guide your connective tissue to a place of greater ease while you use that pressure to release holding patterns. Pressure can vary considerably but the goal is always to create more ease and pleasure in your body. Sometimes, no contact is necessary and other channels of experience are used to dive into the experience of your body. Often, toward the end of the appointment we’ll work seated or standing to orient you in your normal position in gravity. Generally, the session will end by bringing your awareness beyond your body and into the surrounding space.

Just what I was needing. You won’t be disappointed! Nicholas was highly informative, professional, and knows his stuff. Truly an enlightening experience! I noticed relief instantly after my 1st session. I will definitely be returning as well as recommending his services to friends, family, and my own clients.

- Heather

​

Nich was awesome, really took the time to listen to what I had to say and respond in a meaningful way. Also reframed the way that I look at some of the “chronic” problems I was experiencing.

- Daniel

​

Wonderful care and time spent during our first appointment! Nich has a beautiful office and made me very comfortable, I am looking forward to working with him going forward.

- Samuel

​

I love Rolfing and myofascial release because it works to realign my body when it gets out of alignment through my misuse and it really works great to release tension and soreness. I purchased a three session series with Nich and am so thankful I did because he has relieved a lot of the trigger points in my neck, shoulders, back and feet. He also teaches me self care exercises I can do in between appointments. I am so looking forward to my next appointment and am so happy to have a fantastic therapist I can go to when I’m in pain or for regular maintenance.
