Sensory Integration:
a unique hands-on approach to your body & health
Individual Body-Mind Centering® sessions will help you experience new possibilities of ease in movement, transition and expression. This comprehensive somatic approach addresses the entire body, including respiratory, digestive, circulatory, nervous and hormonal systems. Subtle hands-on techniques and guided imagery are used to address the particular needs of each client. This work is suitable for people at all stages of health and development. Chronic pain from illness, injury or trauma can be alleviated through Body-Mind Centering® sessions. These sessions will guide you toward greater vitality, awareness and wellbeing.
Active engagement with your bodymind will change how you think, feel and move in the world. This is sensory integration. You can expect:
• Confidence in personal expression
• Greater ease and range in moving
• Reduction of chronic pain
• Support in life transitions
• Feeling comfortable in your skin
• Deepened sense of self
Body-Mind Centering® (www.bmcassociation.org) is a study of the experienced body in contrast to the objectified body. It is a transformative approach that incorporates movement re-education, touch and experiential anatomy. Alice studied with the originator Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen in the United States, 1995-98.

Continuing interests as a movement therapist and educator:
How we transition and move through life and the landscape holds my fascination and engages me in an adventure of spirited embodiment. As we hover on the brink of what visionary architect and designer, Sim van der Ryn refers to as the Ecological Era and the passing of the Mental/Rational Era we are painfully yet exquisitely aware of changes that are occurring at many levels of our existence. As we begin to address how to make these changes as individuals and communities we will be in need of many different kinds of wisdom, knowledge, education and support. Body-Mind Centering’s central philosophy is support precedes change and its wholistic approach to health and well-being offers clients and students access to empowered embodiment through an understanding of habitual patterns and how they affect our lived experience. I consider it a privilege to support the process individuals make to live more mindfully in our fragile environment. Our relationship to our bodies is central to how we perceive our environment. We are in constant relationship with our environment through the materiality of our bodies. How we care for, tend and live in these bodies can be an inspiration for regeneration and provides an insight into the complex inter-relatedness of all living systems. The body is a primary site for transformation and the process of transformation requires rigour, courage and compassion. I am engaged in working with these qualities in my practice as an artist and Body-Mind Centering® Practitioner.
