SOMATICS TESTIMONIALS

Powerful ! Neck & shoulder tension released. Feeling SO relaxed…

“I so enjoyed my session with Isabelle and came away feeling both SO relaxed and energised. I find the mixture of breathing exercises and gentle movement very powerful with benefits that last for a few days. The exercises we did last time really helped me release muscular tension in the neck and shoulders that would normally lead to migraines. Isabelle is very gentle and always takes time to make sure we do the movement correctly. I am so pleased that I found out about somatics and cannot wait for the next session. My son and daughter are going to join too!” AH

I feel like I have melted in the floor…

My husband always remarks on how my face glows with energy…

“Thank you very much Isabelle for the fabulous Somatics workshop last Sunday. I am still feeling the benefit. My whole body feels balanced and free to move. No stiffness…wonderful! When I finish your sessions, my husband always remarks on how my face glows with energy! Looking forward to Dynamic Yoga tomorrow morning!” VA

If you ever get a chance to attend Isabelle’s Somatics, go for it…

"The session with Isabelle was excellent. She is incredibly knowledgeable and had a lovely calm manner about her. If you ever get the chance to attend one of her Somatics classes,  go for it, you will come out feeling calmer, taller and more relaxed!" BG

I arrived with headache & sore back. I left feeling great – no pain…

"I attend Isabelle’s Somatics class and arrived last week with terrible headache and very sore back after just an hour went home feeling great - no pain - excellent! Highly recommended”. SK

My chronic back pain has just simply vanished…Amazing!

“I just wanted to drop you a quick message about the somatic course on Sunday afternoon with Isabelle.  I wasn’t sure about it at first, as it wasn’t what I was expecting - and I was extremely tired and kept falling asleep! – but I really enjoyed it in the end and most importantly, my back pain / strained muscle pain in my side, which has been bothering me terribly for months and months (since at least springtime) has since vanished.  It was at its worst on Saturday morning and now has gone.  Amazing! I would love to do it monthly or quarterly to reset my body – or whatever it did! – if you were thinking of running it again.“ DR

Feeling a sense of inner calm and relaxed…

“Somatics has really helped with a sense of inner calm and relaxation”. AV

I feel stretched, taller and my body feels more relaxed…

My neck pain is greatly reduced and often disappears completely…

“Over the summer of 2019, I had 5 wonderful, individual somatics sessions with Isabelle. I have had a painful neck for 18 months now and I was attracted to Isabelle's sessions because she mentioned that among other things, the approach would help me relax my neck muscles. This has certainly been the case and the pain in my neck is greatly reduced and often disappears completely especially after I have practised somatics for myself".  VH

Pure bliss! The yoga session afterwards was so much more effective…

“Thank you so much for the wonderful somatics and yoga workshop today. It was so enjoyable to spend longer on the Somatics and feeling the opening and lengthening effects on my body. Pure bliss! The yoga session afterwards was so much more effective and had a different quality to it.” ED

Isabelle is a lovely teacher, calm, kind and encouraging. Highly recommended…

“Isabelle is a lovely teacher, calm, kind and encouraging. She taught me the techniques and approaches patiently and step by step and this helped me become more aware of what was happening in my body. After each session, I left feeling much more relaxed and in less pain. Practising the techniques in between the sessions helped with pain management and in each session.  Isabelle built on what I had already learnt and gave me new techniques to try. I am now practising the approach most days and continue to feel the benefit. I totally recommend Isabelle for her knowledge of the approach and her professional teaching style and I am very grateful to her for helping me.” VH

 

Even after just one session, I have felt the benefit already…

“I found Friday’s Somatics session very interesting. Even after just one session, I have felt the benefit already. My neck is very tight on the left side and has been for many months...it is noticeably easier since that session which is wonderful.” VA

Thanks for making a difference to my life!!

"It was a lovely morning. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve been doing some somatics at home now since you introduced it to me and I really see the benefits – thanks for making a difference to my life!!" ED

Very special venue and so perfect for the event…

A good counterbalance to my busy life…

Isabelle creates a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommended!

"Isabelle creates a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I have been attending somatic classes in Crowborough for a few weeks and very much appreciate Isabelle’s guidance. Her knowledge of the body and guidance through the movements is gentle and precise. Isabelle creates a lovely relaxed atmosphere. At the end of the class, I feel energised and calm. I highly recommend her classes." FB

Amazing!

I am always an anxious person but did feel good after the class!

“I enjoyed the class today and felt I had improved a little from last week, although I’ve been sitting at the pc and under my chin is feeling stiff, I will try and practice the exercise where on the out breath you lower your back to the floor.  I pull muscles v easily and am always an anxious person but did feel good after the class! Thank you”. SH

I am really enjoying the course, thank you…

My ongoing shoulder stiffness is noticeably decreasing…

You are always on hand to correct, encourage and improve my efforts…

"Relaxation is much more achievable and I always have a great sleep after a class. For me however the most enjoyment comes from the fact that the classes are small and you are always on hand to correct, encourage and improve my efforts throughout the hour."  SR

So much fun and so good…

“Who would have thought that something that does you good could be so much fun!” JD

So gentle and deeply relaxing. Very accessible for all…

Just what I have been after, great for posture…
