Somatic Therapy - Embodied Enquiry

Body - Imagination - Psyche

Come home to the nature of your body…

Dancer and registered somatic therapist-

Gemma Higginbotham (M.A., RSMT, RSME),

supports journeys within the realms of body, imagination and psyche.

She has worked with the poetics of the body for over 30 years.

Through embodied perception we encounter within us the guidance and healing that our conscious minds alone may never find.

I offer sessions online and in-person from my studios near Kendal, Cumbria & in Skipton/Leeds, Yorkshire.

Testimonials:

“Gemma is deeply attuned to the body, touch, and movement in a way I haven’t experienced before. Her presence and expertise made my sessions with her profoundly impactful and transformative.”

 “I’ve never felt so safe, held and able to explore the darkest parts of myself as I have in these sessions. I moved into a relationship with reality that I’d been avoiding for my whole life. From there I could start to emerge.”

“After years of talking therapy, I still felt there was something missing.

I now know what was missing!”
