What's in a name?

The name Somatic Rehabilitation refers to the interactions between, and the process of working with the aspects of neurology, biology and psychology that are available to us, and which can be accessed and worked with in mindful, somatic psychotherapy. 

Somatic Rehabilitation embraces the four cornerstones of te Whare Tapa Wha: Taha Tinana, Taha Hinengaro, Taha Wairua and Taha Whanau.

Soma refers to the body, 'somatic' to bodily experience. Through skillful use of mindfulness and other Hakomi tools and techniques, a rehabilitation of experience, held in the body and influencing the mind, can result in changes in the brain and nervous system.

Rehabilitation refers to this interaction and new reintegration of mind and body that is now possible. Much can change for us as a result of working in this way. 

Basic Principles

The therapeutic process of Somatic Rehabilitation is guided by the timeless and holistic principles of Mindfulness, Unity, Organicity, Non-violence and Mind-Body Holism.  The principles confer respect and safety on the therapeutic process and are integral to Sheree's capacity to work with you.

The successful application of the Hakomi method of Mindful, Somatic Psychotherapy, Somatic life-coaching and mindfulness classes (Pathway to the Present Moment) all depend upon the therapeutic effect and benefit that these principles offer, as guides to the therapeutic process and the environment within which this takes place.  

Somatic Coaching for life

Whether it be health and well-being, or ethical business and leadership, life- coaching with Somatic Rehabilitation can assist you to bring a closer focus to the interaction between your body and mind, and how this may be impacting your aspirations and achievements.

Living life well and feeling successful depends on many things, but ultimately, it always comes back to us. What is it that we are doing, how are we impacting whatever it is that we are trying to get ahead with? What can we do differently? Can we do that? What's stopping us?

All these questions and more, can benefit from a somatic and mindful approach to coaching.

Hakomi - a  mindful, somatic  kete

You will build a tool kit/kete as a client of Hakomi Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy that will assist you to experience life more fully. The psycho-therapeutic process is designed to bring you into closer relationship with yourself in order to view whatever is bothering you from a more intimate perspective. 

Somatic Rehabilitation and the Hakomi method are very good for this process, and can provide you with the capacity to understand more about how you approach life and relationships, and more importantly, how you view yourself in relation to the these things.  Hakomi means, Where do you stand, in relation to the realms?

Sheree is passionate about Hakomi and its methods for expanding awareness, and has been practising the method for many years.  She is proficient at working with the body-mind connection and would love to assist you to understand more about yours.
