Samantha J Holland

A Somatic Experiencing Informed Clinical Somatic Educator for some years, I'm now also a qualified SEP. I help people release embodied stress to nurture greater freedom from stress and trauma, from stiffness and discomfort, and from physical and emotional pain. In recent years, I have worked increasingly with psychotherapists, counsellors, and fellow SEPs to integrate Clinical Somatics into their practice - to more fully address the whole, embodied person, by using movement as well as sensing that relates directly and specifically to stuck stress patterns and stored trauma. In my 1:1 practice, I work primarily with people suffering from chronic pain and tension - whether that shows up more as physical or emotional "symptoms". Clinical Somatic Education allows me to guide clients to access and release stuck stress and stored tension and trauma, and to release muscles that have become stuck, or "frozen", and have been causing tightness and pain.
