What is Somatic Psychotherapy
It is a person-centered approach tailored at differing body types/physical abilities and various context that ranges from mental, physical to public health. It incorporates key processes of energy psychology-therapies, mindfulness-based movements, breathing, meditation, spiritual development, and awareness of the value and ethical engagement. These practices promote, attention, self-regulation, resilience, body-awareness, and pro-social behavior. It may provide symptom improvement through relaxation, mindfulness, awareness and empowering therapy to conditions such as fibromyalgia, headaches, anxiety, depression, arthritis, chronic pain, high blood pressure, and cancer recovery. Subtle yoga is a holistic intervention that calms the nervous system, increases mind-body connection, and is trauma-informed. Somatic psychology postulates that the body and mind are one (mind-body) and cannot be artificially separated. Subtle yoga practice provides a connection between the two.


What is Rhythmic Movement Training (RMT)
RMT are movements that mimic exact developmental, rhythmical, smooth, effortless, easy, coordinated, and symmetrical movements that babies and infants automatically make as they grow. They are whole-body movements that could be kneeling and sitting, passive or active. These movements are suitable for everybody despite their level of disability. They provide strong stimulation to different senses that include the vestibular (balance and coordination), proprioceptive (joints and internal organs), and tactile (skin) components. Gradually, individuals tend to make these movements exactly. Asymmetrically uncoordinated or jerky movements may indicate the presence of active primitive reflex and/or cerebellar dysfunction. Evidence-based research indicates that many people have had improvement using RMT for ADD/ADHD hyperactivity, Autism Spectrum, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, schizophrenia, developmental and speech delay, psychosis, cerebral palsy, auditory/sensory processing, emotional and physical challenges such as anxiety, fear, phobias, sleep disorders, bedwetting, PTSD and Parkinson’s disease.
