"I thoroughly enjoyed Annette's somatic movement class. I learned techniques to help my body release tension and relax. I left each class feeling more grounded aware of my body, and this stayed with me for several days after each session. More importantly, Annette's encouragement and examples have helped me to incorporate using resources like my breath and my senses to increase my groundedness and presence in every day life. Thanks!"
Kelly T., client
"Annette's classes were always a peaceful highlight of my week. She and the group created a space for me to fully focus on the moment and movements at hand, and to truly show up authentically no matter what I was feeling or going through that day. What I gained most from the class was simple yet meaningful: a greater ability to listen to, respond to and connect with my body in a way that felt healing and loving. Thanks Annette!"

"I recently attended one of Annette's somatic movement workshops, and I was blown away by the practice. I truly believe this is a useful tool for personal well-being and reconnecting to the inner self. During the practice, I entered a meditative state. I felt as though I was able to obtain a better understanding of dynamics within my body, even after a first time 2 hour workshop. I look forward to continuing this practice as it is beneficial and valuable to achieving what I desire."

"Annette has a unique gift of blending her knowledge of anatomy and physiology to support correct form and movement in yoga while creating a safe space for true somatic release. After attending her spine workshop I felt sustained release in my upper back that allowed me to breath more fully, stronger in my posture and refreshingly connected to myself as a whole person. I highly recommend Annette's practice for a true mind and body connection!"

"I had some pretty nasty knee pain for a few months before I saw Annette and it made it really difficult to bend my knees past a 90 degree angle. I wasn't able to garden, which I love doing, and I would get very sharp pains seemingly out of nowhere if I changed direction walking too quickly. After just a few sessions I was able to fully bend my knees again without any pain and I also lost the hesitation I felt from a general feeling of instability. I can garden again and just be generally more active, which is great! Annette is really lovely and easy to get along with and I really enjoyed and looked forward to our sessions together."

"Through Annette’s incredible guidance, I’ve learned tools and techniques to find a new level of connection and awareness in my own body through the combination of somatics and movement. Rooted in a place of safety and non-judgement, what she has taught me has been invaluable for effecting positive changes both physically and emotionally. I’ve gained a new practice of mindfulness and presence that can be used to meet all of the joys and challenges in everyday life."
