Wednesday mornings | somatic movement, meditation, mind-body classes
10.30am-12pm
Each Wednesday morning, from 10.30am-12pm, Susan will be offering somatic movement, meditation, mind-body classes at the Monastery. These are small classes, designed so that each student receives individual attention throughout the class.
What is Somatic Movement?
Somatic movements bring ease to the physical body and more freedom to your movement, releasing the physical muscles and body back to a more natural, neutral state.
Everything in life is inter-related and it is important to understand what could be causing us stress and trauma leading us to pain and discomfort. Our bodies react to everything we experience and carry through life….physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically.
How will I benefit from the classes?
Whatever life throws at you, Susan will help you learn how to self-regulate, solve and soothe the issues and release anxiety levels so you can become more resilient and emotionally stable.
With a lifetime of experience using massage, aromatherapy, body awareness and somatic exercise movements – linking the physical with our subconscious holding patterns, Susan’s solutions are simple and life changing.

Wednesday afternoons | chair-based, trauma discharge massage
1-4pm (individual slots at 1pm; 1.45pm; 2.30pm; 3.15pm)
Each Wednesday afternoon, from 1-4pm, Susan will be offering private chair-based trauma discharge massage sessions. These private sessions, using techniques that have been scientifically proven to connect with our nervous system’s reactions to life’s experiences, are individual massage slots which each last for 40 minutes.
What is trauma discharge massage?
The nervous system and physical body can hold our reactive state just by talking about our life’s experiences. The body doesn’t know the difference between here and now and there and then experiences – it just reacts in the same way, leading to tension and ultimately, physical pain and discomfort.
With incredibly sensitive touch, along with training and understanding about the mind-body connection that spans some 40 years, Susan’s legendary healing touch can help soothe what you may be holding on to – and invite the mind – the body – the nervous system – the subconscious – to let go and release it.
How will I benefit?
Done on a regular basis, TDM sessions not only help to discharge what the nervous system might still be carrying, it can also bring ease to the physical body, help to rebalance energy levels, help us to integrate change, and build a more robust resilience to life’s ups and downs.

Slots are available at either 1pm, 1.45pm, 2.30pm or 3.15pm
