Somatic Training Academy

PME did not emerge from a single school, therapy, or movement practice.

It developed over decades through the meeting of many different streams: expressive dance, contact improvisation, Body-Mind Centering, Trager, massage, osteopathy, psychotherapy, coaching, Buddhist psychology, phenomenology, constructivism, and more than thirty-five years of professional practice.

What connects these influences is a simple but profound question:
