Individual Appointments // personalised guidance
Here at STUDIO SOMA we offer individual (or small-group) appointments both online & in-person alongside our schedule of weekly classes, workshops, & trainings. You can book a private session with one of our team of experienced movement practitioners who are here to support & guide you. Each practitioner is highly-qualified in specific movement disciplines & offers specialised support, knowledge, & guidance to people in need of particular types of help as they face their individual challenges.
You can browse our practitioner profiles below to discover the right practitioner for you. All our practitioners offer online appointments, & in-person sessions are also available in various international locations including London, Berlin, & Stockholm. Please do feel free to contact us if you would like help selecting who might be the best person for you to work with, or if you would benefit from an in-depth conversation about how individual sessions might be able to help you before you choose to book your appointment.
who can benefit from individual sessions?
REHABILITATION & HEALING
>> People who are in the process of recovering from injury or illness that is affecting their ability to move well & meet the demands of their work & home life during everyday actions & tasks. We can offer bespoke sessions that helps them through a process of rehabilitation to regain possibilities for easy, pain-free movement.
>> People who are living with ongoing life-altering conditions, such as chronic pain, chronic fatigue, vestibular dysfunction, neurological disorders, developmental disorders, or degenerative illness. We offer individual support & guidance through a process of discovery, as we seek together for ways of maximising each person’s potential for wellness, functional movement, & the ability to engage with life whatever the challenges of their condition.
>> People who are troubled by chronic stress, anxiety, fatigue, depression, &/or sleep-related problems. We create a calm & safe space in which people can reconnect to their embodied self & discover how an awareness of their physical sensations & experiences can help release tension & build resilience over time.
AT WORK & IN DAILY LIFE
>> Actors, dancers, performers, & musicians who are seeking to expand or fine-tune their movement skills, improve their sensory awareness, & deepen the quality of their artistic expression. This can involve sessions which help people as they prepare for a specific job or performance, or it might be a series of ongoing coaching sessions to deepen & refine their training & practice, &/or overcome specific physical challenges that are holding them back.
>> Athletes & sports professionals looking to refine their physical skills & reach their full movement potential. We can help people to discover their unhelpful movement habits, & unlock habitual patterns of strain & tension. This allows people engaging in all areas of sport to improve their personal best & learn new embodied movement practices that reduce the risk of injury & maximise performance.
>> Professionals looking to improve their skills in communication, presentation, body language, presence, leadership, & management skills. We can help people to understand how their physical expression may be holding them back from communicating clearly & efficiently. We offer coaching in embodiment tools & techniques that are easy to learn, simple to apply, & incredibly effective at helping them improve their performance; as well as enhancing their mental focus & ability to stay calm & function under high pressure.
DEEPENING YOUR PRACTICE
>> People seeking to develop their personal somatic movement practice: after attending regular group classes you are likely to have a collection of specific individual questions relating to your personal practice & unique situation in life. A one-to-one session (or series of sessions) allows you time to focus on your questions with the guidance of an experienced practitioner, who can structure a bespoke session which is tailored to support & deepen your ongoing research into embodied living & somatic movement practice.
>> People who are on their own journey of development as practitioners, facilitators, teachers, or coaches. A series of one-to-one sessions can allow you to benefit from a mentoring relationship in which we hold space for your journey of learning & work in dialogue to share our expert knowledge with you as you learn

The following outline offers a rough guideline as to our current pricing:

If you are curious about booking a one-to-one session, please do contact us & we will happily have a conversation with you around what kind of session(s) might work best for your needs & how much this would cost. Lower or non-payment options may also be available if you are currently unable to work, unemployed, on very low income, reliant on benefits, or our guideline prices are high because you use a different currency &/or live in a lower-income country.
