Restore Health
Somatic comes from the Greek word “soma” which means living body. Somatic therapy is a holistic therapy that studies the relationship between the mind and body, physical and psychological. Julie works with 2 practices in her Somatic sessions.
• Laban Bartenieff Fundamentals
Integrates inner, emotional attitudes and psychological habits as well as body function. Working with movement Fundamentals takes movers back to the building blocks of human movement, deep into our first movement understandings to help us more fully to discover and re pattern our movement to enrich our lives.
• Authentic Movement
Can be deeply connective, often develop greater trust in one’s own wisdom, and can help to hold experiences which might otherwise remain suppressed in the individual.
“I have been working with Julie and the teachers of move to change for 2 years and can't believe how much I love their classes. I have always been someone who is totally intimidated by gyms and working out. A friend brought me to this studio and I was instantly hooked. The women were really friendly and the work out was awesome—both strength-building and cardio. Everyone is there because they love it, not because they are trying to fit their bodies into some unattainable mainstream beauty standard. I have never been stronger or felt better in my body!”
