Why do we get Insomnia?

Insomnia is a complex issue that results from ineffective ways of coping with the stressors of life. It is contributed either by our repetitive mental, emotional, relational, occupational and environmental challenges or the combination of them.

These recurring challenges result in sensations and feelings we experience frequently in our bodies. And to alleviate them, we cope in ways that are unconscious to us such as the holding our breath, tensing of our bodies, and even applying more force in the way we do things so that we can break through.

However, we are breaking ourselves unknowingly and overtime, these responses causes us to inadvertently program detrimental reactions into our nervous system and we do not know how to undo them.

Hence, we struggle to relax and fall asleep because the body is still in a fight or flight mode from the daily grind.

What is Somatic Movement?

Somatic movement is an educational process facilitated to help you realize the blocks within you. It not only reveals the level of brain-body disconnect through the experience of your body, but also offers insights to why those blocks and disconnects exist.

Somatic Movement allows you to realize how to address your personal gaps accurately and appropriately through your bodily experience to feel whole and in control again.
