Private Somatic Coaching
What people say about working with Clare:

Chris Way,
Founder, Reality Tours
I had severe, chronic neck and jaw pain. I was spending lots of money on massage, acupuncture, physical therapy. Nothing was helping.
The online sessions trained my brain to stop keeping my muscles in a clenching, painful pattern. Clare managed to unravel a condition that nobody else could.

To use your body well, you need to know it well. You will be surprised at how much fun learning about it can be, and just how adaptable, mobile, responsive, and smart your own body is.
The first step is accepting things as they are. Then...
Aches, pains, and self-judging thoughts fade away as you learn to trust your own physical intelligence. So many problems get resolved when a learning relationship with your own body is restored. Scientific research is increasingly proving the efficacy of the Alexander Technique in helping relieve:
But once you get relief, you also need to undo all the habits of thinking and moving that you built up over time. That’s a delicate but profoundly empowering process, and a skilled coach can save you much unnecessary suffering and confusion!
You come to understand this habit change process so well, when we work together, that you can practice it for the rest of your life whenever you need it, especially as your body ages and changes.
Learning about your body is healing in a way that diagnosis and treatment are not. You know how to take care of yourself, so you don’t have to wait for someone else to tell you what to do.
That’s why Embodied Learning Systems will double the value of any medical or therapeutic interventions, and minimize the need for them in the long run.
Embodied Learning Systems has 3 layers of practice depending on your challenges and needs:
1. The Alexander Technique: This 150 year old method for improving postural tone has many direct and indirect benefits. Posture is how you support your body in relationship to gravity, and it’s a constant influence on you all day and all night. It supports your movement and balance systems, and calibrates all other systems in your body such as breathing, circulation, digestion, and perception.
Some of us have low postural tone, and some of us have too much, or too much in the wrong places because of pain or learned habits. We can sort it out for you in private lessons.
2. Mobile Body Alignment helps you apply the Alexander principles in movement. By learning the 6 Awareness Preludes and the 17 Mobile Body Alignment Points you cultivate flexibility of attention to self and environment.
Most of us are spending too much time in states of narrow, fixed focus and this affects how we feel in our bodies and how we move. Awareness preludes change that.
Mobile body alignment points give you a moving awareness of your three dimensional body. This frees you from tension while you practicing specific movement forms such as yoga, tai chi, fitness, or dance. It's equally accessible in pedestrian movement and everyday activities.
3. Cranial Nerve Sequencing: This deeply somatic practice restores a need balance between interoception, exteroception, voluntary and involuntary movement.
Learn a sequence of simple practices for each cranial nerve that activate a free and delicate articulation of head and spine, resetting overall coordination throughout your whole body.
Balance activation and calm by learning the basic anatomica structure and function of all 12 cranial nerves, including the vagus. Improve your ability to feel your body, ease breathing patterns, decrease eye strain, free your natural voice, and relinquish deep, systemic tension nerve by nerve.
