Somatic
Education
Somatics is an exploration into how the body has absorbed and responded to the events in one's life. It is a comprehensive approach to understanding our pain, our reactions, our failures, our successes, using the language of the body as a guide. As Wendy Palmer says in her book, The Intuitive Body, "by cultivating our concentration for staying with our sensations, we develop a kind of strength which enables us to stay in the present." It is this "presence" of which she talks that forms the core component of Somatic work.
Jenny was introduced to the concept of somatic education through her first massage teacher at the Body Therapy Center in Palo Alto. After completing the Fundamentals of Massage program there, Jenny began studying privately with teacher Johanna Putnoi. According to Johanna, Lomi Somatic Work integrates "physicality, emotionality, feeling/intuition, and energetic states. The essential tools of this integration are presence, perception, contact and technique."
