Jennifer Orchard

As a somatic educator with certifications both as a Feldenkrais Practitioner and Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I work with individuals and groups to identify how experiences of trauma may be influencing their patterns of movement, thinking, feeling, and sensations. In our work together we decrease areas of stuckness and discover opportunities for choice. The intention of somatic work is to provide individuals with the inherent wisdom of the body. Stress, depression, anxiety, trauma, and relationship conflicts are issues that exist in both the mind and the body. In both touch and movement work we explore the messages carried in the body and support choices that create more ease allowing the freedom to live a fuller version of ourselves. I offer sessions via Zoom and in person. I have experience working with developmental trauma, traumatic brain injury, motor vehicle collision, childhood sexual abuse, life transitions, grief & loss, and adults who experienced abuse as children. I enjoy learning and helping others break down the areas of confusion inherent in the new and necessary for learning to occur. It is a pleasure to be a part of your journey as you discover this powerful personal development work.
