All of these physical issues seem like an inevitable plight of the aging process. This is, in fact, a MYTH! What has actually happened is that over the years you have accumulated habitual tension in your muscles that has worsened with time and life experiences. Now you are stuck inside a stiff body who's bone structure is being pulled on constantly by tighter and tighter muscles. This not only leads to painful movement, but it leads to weak muscles as well.
If you are ready to explore a new way to improve your movement and reduce pain, I am ready to help you!
Erin is an Essential Somatics® Movement Teacher. Founded by Martha Peterson, the philosophy and approach of Essential Somatics® is rooted in the work of Thomas Hanna, Ph.D., who firmly believed that we, as individuals, can improve how we move through self-awareness in order to alleviate pain, improve mobility and even more so, to improve the our quality of life.
There are many conditions and symptoms that we suffer with that are a result of habitual muscle tension in the body including sciatica, frozen shoulder, hip pain, SI joint pain, neck/shoulder pain, TMJ, herniated discs, and chronic back pain to name a few.
Erin guides clients through movement patterns that are based on necessary movements for daily life - walking, running, reaching up, bending down, twisting. These patterns, done in a conscious way, help restore proper function of the muscles of the center of the body, which directly affect the periphery of the body (head, arms, legs).
This approach is so effective because it involves sensory-motor retraining. In other words, the nervous system is reeducated on how to control muscle function. When chronic tension is released, proper coordination of the muscles is restored and therefore ease of movement as well. Most importantly, when we reset our nervous system in this way, we will find more ease and joy in all aspects of our lives.
The gentle and subtle movements of Essential Somatics® can be explored laying down, seated in a chair and/or standing making them accessible to anyone.

Chronic Back Pain Relief
"I have spinal stenosis and had experienced back pain continuously for 30 years.
With Erin's guidance through the somatic movements, I am now able to detect that I have been keeping my lower back muscles tight all the time. With the new awareness I've gained from the somatic movements, I am now starting to control these muscles.
Even with the little bit of control I've established I no longer feel any pain when lying or sitting down. I only feel pain standing and walking and that is even starting to subside. Recently I have had several days with NO pain at all. I highly recommend these somatic movements." ~Mike B.

To be eligible for this series you need a prior somatic movement consultation with Erin. You may drop-in on the remainder of the series if it has already started while you schedule your consultation. If you miss out on this series, don't worry, another one will begin when this one ends.
Accountability and Support
With a consultation under your belt, these on-going somatic movement series offer guidance as you continue to explore where you hold tension and how to begin letting it go. This class most importantly helps you be accountable to yourself. Most of us would agree that attending a class is easier to make time for than our own practice. Each week, learn something new in class that can direct your exploration in your own practice.
Take back control of how your body feels!
"Erin has a wonderful ability to tap us into our bodies. I started seeing her for support with pain from a traumatic event. I've been doing yoga and various forms of stretching, a runner and very active for years. And I could not ease the recurring pain which was caused and rooted in my body due to trauma.
In a much shorter amount of time than I was anticipating, I gained an incredible amount of pain relief. But the greater gift has been the way that my relationship with my body continues to shift. Erin has a way of supporting this engagement intuitively. Her 1-1 instruction is an incredible opportunity to get to know our bodies and release what no longer serves us, listen to the messages our body is attempting to share.
If you're interested in deeply transformative and effective body work, look no further. Erin has skills, knowledge and intuitive ability to support pain free movement and a closer relationship with ourselves.
Thank you, Erin!" ~ Kelley H.

"I did too much yesterday. I walked 15,000 steps, did laundry, cooked, and baked. I woke up this morning with a sore back and usually I would take Advil and lay low to try to prevent my back from 'going out.' Instead, I did my Somatic exercises and voila! My back is much better and instead of losing a day I am moving. I am going to slow it down a little today but I do not have to stop.
Thank you for everything that you do. Know that you are appreciated."

“The somatic movement series has increased my awareness of certain connections in my body that I was unaware of or had previously lost. By working on rebuilding these connections, I have increased my range of motion in places, relaxed places of tension, and reduced pain in chronic aches. I have also become more aware of what habitual movements or practices cause my pain and how to avoid doing that. The class is also simply relaxing and meditative; it is a unique experience to be so focused on such small movements for one solid hour. And, the skills I have learned are transferring into a personal practice I can implement anytime and anywhere. ” ~ Martha L.
“Thanks, Erin for opening up a new body awareness for me. All these years i have tried to muscle through the aches and pains believing that I would master a better way to move until you opened the door that has allowed me to trust what my body has been telling me all along and I haven’t been listening to. I love that I have at my fingertips a practice that helps me recognize my body’s needs and gentle ways to work toward greater balance. This is a tool I can use throughout my life. ”
~ Doretta C.
"I have noticed that there is a difference in how I do my daily morning routine of cat-cow repetitions followed by some sun salutations. I am more conscious of the movements of the arch and curl and am more attentive of slowing them down and making them smaller with my mind more attuned to the movement and the moment." ~Gere O.
