“The mind is like the wind and the body like the sand: if you want to see how the wind is blowing, you can look at the sand.” — Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen
The term usually refers to practices that focus on your own subjective and sensory experiences. It works from the recognition that you body and mind are not separate. Embodiment is currently a strong influence in the fields of Psychology, Cognition, Leadership, Conflict Work and Trauma Work to name a few.
I explore embodiment through Body-Mind Centering(tm), Contact Improvisation, Process Work and number of other awareness and performance practices. I do offer individual body work and somatic movement education session. Contact me for details.
BMC is an experiential study based on the embodiment and application of anatomical, physiological, psychophysical and developmental principles, utilizing movement, touch, voice and mind. Its uniqueness lies in the specificity with which each of the body systems can be personally embodied and integrated, the fundamental groundwork of developmental repatterning, and the utilization of a body-based language to describe movement and body-mind relationships. You can learn more here.
For individual somatic movement education sessions lasting an hour please contact me.

Process Oriented Psychology
Also called process work, is a depth psychology theory and set of techniques with its roots in Jungian Psychology and Somatic Psychology. It uses awareness to track psychological and physical processes that illuminate and possibly resolve inner, relationship, team, and world issues.
Its methods allow us to perceive the creative nature of processes, even within apparently very disturbing and complex situations. Processwork is a dynamic orientation and method of working with the challenges of your inner life and outer life events.
Psychotherapeutic Process Work is suitable for individual, couple and group work. It includes working with dreams, body experience and illness, including remote states of consciousness.
Process Work uses awareness or mindfulness practices to link inner work with social action. Its methods are also useful for facilitating organisations and communities dealing with conflict, recovery and social change. The latter application is often called Worldwork. Find out more here.
