Somatic Expression is inclusive and accessible to people from a wide variety of backgrounds. The work is useful for all people wanting to balance their mind-body-spirit.

Somatic Expression has been particularly helpful for people with life-threatening illnesses and chronic health conditions to reclaim their bodies and be personally involved in their own healing.

Somatic Expression has proven to be effective for people in the helping professions to care for themselves in their work with others. Therapists, educators, massage therapists, yoga and fitness instructors, and healthcare professionals learn maps and methods for personal embodiment and professional development.

Some of the settings and populations I have worked with include:

• Tamalpa Institute, a Center for the study of Movement-Based Expressive Arts Therapy. Working with students of Expressive Arts Therapy to develop presence through somatic awareness.
• John F Kennedy University, Graduate School for Holistic Studies. Working with students in Holistic Health Education and in Somatic Psychology to enlarge their understanding and experience of their own bodies.
• AIDS Hilfe Schweiz/Swiss AIDS Federation. Working with HIV+ people and their caregivers to improve health and well-being.
• Gay Life Program, San Francisco AIDS Foundation. Working with gay men to create community and foster positive relationships.
