Jennifer M. Orchard

As a Feldenkrais Practitioner, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and Yoga Instructor, 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 fixity and discover opportunities for increased flow.  Together we are making therapeutic learning choices in both your internal movement and your external movement. 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 Somatic Experiencing and touch 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.

In SE I studied most with Joshua Sylvae, Peter Levine, and Kathy Kain. I have Advanced SE Touch Skills training with Kathy Kain.  And extensive training in functional movement and touch with Jeff Haller and Candy Canino. I am approved to provide personal sessions at ALL levels of the SE training. I offer sessions via Zoom and in person. If you would like to book a session with me, feel free to reach out via text, email, or phone.

I look forward to working with you. It is a pleasure to be a part of your journey as you discover this powerful work.
