Online somatic work is not a lesser version of in-person work. It’s a different doorway.

The Firefly Method® works with the nervous system and the body’s innate intelligence, which means it is not limited by location. Healing happens through experience, not proximity.

Online sessions remove physical touch, but they develop something else: awareness, self-responsibility, and the ability to feel and track your own body in real time. Many clients are surprised by how truly powerful this feels.

In an online session, you are guided to:
👉 attune to your nervous system, interoceptive pathway, neuroceptive pathway, and proprioceptive pathway
👉 use various pendulation approaches to regulate and balance the system
👉 recall and retrace somatic material present in the body
👉 activate the vagus nerve through specific Firefly Method® protocols
👉 move, release, and regulate through guided self-myofascial and biodynamic work
👉 revisit stored patterns and responses that keep the body stuck in cyclical survival patterns

You will learn tools tailored to your unique nervous system, somatic system, and inner landscape.

For many people, online work becomes the foundation. It prepares the system for deeper hands-on sessions or supports integration between in-person work. Some begin online and later move into the room; others do the opposite. Both approaches are valid and complement each other.

Clients that we work with are based all over the world — from Ireland to Canada, the US, Australia, Mexico, and across Europe.

The body doesn’t need a postcode.

It needs safety, precision, and the right guidance.

Integration is the process of helping the body fully absorb, organise and stabilise change after emotional or nervous system experiences that caused activation. When something shifts in the nervous system, such as the completion of a defensive response or the creation of a new felt sense of safety, the body needs time and support to integrate that change. Without integration, the nervous system can rebound back into old patterns, even after powerful insight or breakthrough moments.

Rather than working through thinking, integration happens through feeling, emotionality, sensation and the body’s own rhythm. It shows up through shifts in circadian and ultradian rhythms, relational changes, nervous system response changes, changes in self identity and much more. Integration allows the brain and body to update together in coherence, so new information becomes embodied rather than remaining purely intellectual.

Integration looks different for everyone. It can show up as increased fatigue, emotional waves, changes in sleep or digestion, temporary flare ups, or a need for more rest and simplicity. These are not signs of regression. They are signs that the nervous system is reorganising, consolidating new information, and laying down new neural pathways.

All of our clients are guided through somatic integration and held within a safe, attuned container as the body clears stored activation and the nervous system undergoes meaningful shifts. This support is a key component of our work. It ensures that change is not overwhelming, fragmented or destabilising, but paced, titrated and sustainable.

Integration is what creates lasting change. It allows the body to hold safety, connection and resilience over time. Without it, awareness stays in the mind but never reaches the peripheral system and behavioural patterns.

Ever met someone who has deep insight and self awareness, yet their actions and patterns remain unchanged? This is incoherence. Awareness without integration is not embodiment. Integration is what turns knowing into being.

Myofascial Lines: How the Body Moves as One Integrated System

This image beautifully demonstrates the concept of myofascial lines—continuous chains of muscles and fascia that transmit force throughout the body. Rather than working as isolated muscles, the body functions through these interconnected pathways, coordinating posture, movement, and load distribution from head to toe.

The Lateral Line stabilizes the body in the frontal plane. It helps control side-to-side movements, maintains balance during single-leg stance, and plays a key role in pelvic and trunk stability during walking and running. Dysfunction here often shows up as hip drop, lateral knee pain, or asymmetrical posture.

The Spiral Line crosses the body in an X-shaped pattern, linking opposite shoulders to hips and legs. This line is essential for rotational control, gait efficiency, and coordinated movements like throwing, walking, and turning. Restrictions in the spiral line can lead to poor rotational mechanics, spinal strain, and uneven load transfer.

The Superficial Back Line runs from the soles of the feet up through the calves, hamstrings, spine, and into the scalp fascia. It supports upright posture, spinal extension, and elastic recoil during movement. Tightness or overload here is commonly associated with hamstring tightness, low back pain, and reduced shock absorption.

The Superficial Front Line spans the front of the body, from the toes through the quadriceps, abdominals, chest, and neck. It balances the back line, assists with deceleration, and supports controlled flexion. Dysfunction can contribute to forward head posture, rounded shoulders, and reduced breathing efficiency.

Key takeaway:
Pain and movement dysfunction are rarely local problems. They are often expressions of imbalance along an entire myofascial line. Effective rehabilitation, posture correction, and performance training must respect these global connections—treating the body as an integrated system, not separate parts.

👉 Move globally. Treat intelligently. Restore balance.
