Lisa Cary has been a bodyworker in private practice for over 20 years. Her approach blends structural integration with somatic movement reeducation.
She customizes movement classes to meet the needs of the participants empowering individuals to release unconscious holding patterns by restoring voluntary control over the sensory-motor system.

During the weekly classes you will learn how to maintain and enhance your own health by learning the traditional "Cat Stretch" movements which include freeing the muscles of the back, waist, abdomen, hips, legs, torso, shoulders and neck.
These lessons, when performed regularly are designed to teach you to free yourself from pain, stiffness and constriction and to move with greater freedom and grace. Through a series of powerful, yet gentle, movements you can experience the following benefits:

Hanna Somatic Education is a unique learning process utilizing the exploration of movements performed in a specific way to improve muscular control, gain freedom of movement, increase flexibility and improve posture.
Through neuromuscular retraining, muscles that have learned to become habitually contracted in response to stressful life conditions or injury can be restored to their natural state of voluntary control.
Hanna Somatic Education is a process through which painful, learned, adaptive responses can become unlearned, and then reversed. It allows us to remember what we already know; how to be in our bodies with a greater sense of lightness and ease.

As a client you will be guided through a series of specific movements to re-pattern or reprogram your nervous system by allowing your brain to "turn-off" muscles which are overworking and "turn-on" the muscles that have been under-active. When muscle balance is restored you will no longer be the victim of chronically painful muscle spasms.
Having regained control over your sensory motor system you will discover your body's ability to heal itself.
Since you are actively participating in this learning process and because your brain, the master controller, is being given new sensory information, changes happen quickly and immediately. Rather than having something done to you or for you I will work with you, resulting in a more lasting change.
You will then be shown movements to repeat at home that will continue to remind your body and brain of the new freedom you have experienced and reinforce this new learning.
