Somatic Therapy, Fascial Maneuvers or Myofascial Release: Which Is Right for You?
I offer three approaches. They overlap, and the free consultation is the easiest place to work out which suits you. Here is how they differ.
Somatic Therapy | Fascial Maneuvers | Myofascial Release | |
What it is | Body awareness and nervous system regulation, guided by conversation | Guided movement combined with breathwork | Hands-on fascial work |
Touch | None | None | Yes |
Online | Yes | Yes | No |
In person | Yes, around Bristol and North Somerset | Yes | Yes |
Session | 60 minutes, £80 | 60 minutes, £80 | 60 minutes, £80 |
Somatic therapy
Works with sensation and the nervous system at a pace that feels safe. You do not need to retell your story. Read more about somatic therapy and how it works online.
Fascial Maneuvers
Uses simple, guided movements with breathwork to release physical tension and reset the nervous system. Its core principles are counter-rotation, breathwork, pinning and pelvic lock. Read more about Fascial Maneuvers.
Myofascial release
Hands-on work with the fascia. Because it involves touch, it is offered in person only, and we would talk through consent and comfort first. Read more about Myofascial Release.
How to choose
If you are outside the Bristol area, or prefer to start from home: somatic therapy or Fascial Maneuvers, both online.
If you would rather not talk much about what happened: somatic therapy works with what your body is doing now.
If you want hands-on work and are near Bristol or North Somerset: myofascial release, in person.
Not sure: book the free 15-minute consultation and we will talk it through.
Frequently asked questions
Can I combine the therapies?
Often, yes. We would agree that together.
Is myofascial release available online?
No. It is hands-on, so it is offered in person only.
What do the sessions cost?
A 60-minute session is £80 for each approach. The first 15-minute consultation is free. See My Fees.
Is any of this a replacement for medical or psychiatric care?
No. These are supportive therapies. If you are in crisis, please contact your GP, NHS 111 or Samaritans on 116 123.
