Budding Lotus Body

Budding Lotus Body I am a Certified Hanna Somatic Educator offering 1-on-1 sessions and group classes in Santa Fe, NM and globally online.

It is my desire to support others to reach their goals, whether it is increased mobility, less pain, feeling embodied or relaxation. I offer Hanna Somatic Education classes and private sessions online and in-person in Santa Fe, NM. This practice is designed to work with chronic tension and pain in the body and help ease limitations, pain and lack of coordination. I trained at the Novato Institute for Somatic Research & Training.

I have lost track of how many students say after class "I can't believe how much better I feel, we didn't really do a lot!".

Hanna Somatics can be a subtle practice, but the results are not and that is why I love sharing it. Today, as I was leaving class one of the students shared more than once, how different her walking felt and she was really encouraged by it.

This is a practice that can offer support to so many, and I am truly excited to share it with as many people as I can.

Whether you live in Santa Fe or anywhere in the world, I would be happy to work with you. Reach out if you have questions, or visit buddinglotusbody.com/hanna-somatic-education/somatics-sessions/ for more details about Hanna Somatic Education.

Societally, we are in a β€œfix me” culture. As someone who was a massage therapist for over 10 year, I know how appealing it is to have a practitioner, doctor, or pill be our solution to pain and movement limitations.

Current pain science discoveries do not support these β€œfixes” in most cases. In the majority of people experience chronic pain, the pain has been learned, limitations have been learned, and the solution is to unlearn our habits.

This is where Hanna Somatics and Pain Reprocessing Therapy come in. We can address pain from both a gentle movement and mindfulness approach by working with your nervous system to unlearn your patterns, and learn new ways of being in this human world that serve you better.

If you are ready to actively participate in your healing, and are curious about how to start. Reach out to me. I would be happy to chat about how Hanna Somatics and Pain Reprocessing Therapy can support you.

We are drawn to what we KNOW. Whether it serves us or not, we feel comfortable in the known and often will turn away from the unknown (even if it could help).

What I love about this testimonial from a student is that it aligns so beautifully with the neuroplasticity of Hanna Somatics.

We might encounter movements that feel foreign, make no sense to us, don't feel like our natural way of doing things, or we just can't figure out. As we work with them though, our experience of them begins to change. Whether we notice it right away or not, we are learning and changing with these movements. And when we return to moving about, our experience in the world changes too.

For those of us in winter climates right now, getting on the floor to practice Hanna Somatics might have an extra hurdle. Feeling too cold to practice today? Here are a few tips to make it cozy.

βœ… Use a cozy blanket underneath you. You can even have a light blanket on top of you as you practice as long as the blanket doesn’t get in the way.

βœ… My favorite on very cold days is to use a massage table warmer underneath me. I know it is an extra expense, so I totally get that it might not work for everyone, but if you are very dedicated to your practice, and run cold, it could be a helpful addition.

Stay tuned for more tips to support your at-home practice.
