EMBODIED HEALING
INTEGRATIVE SOMATIC AND EXPRESSIVE ARTS THERAPY
The Cercle’s Method
Focused on integrating body and mind through somatic-centered therapies and expressive arts for trauma recovery, this psychobiological approach enhances human function using mindfulness and movement. Emphasizing awareness through practice using therapeutic modalities that prioritize exploration over aesthetics supports overall wellbeing.
Grounded in a polyvagal trauma-informed framework the Cercle holds a safer container for individuals to feel and express their wounded and immobilized energy by fostering stabilization, safety and nervous system balance first, through strength-based, resilient-based and process-led practices.
This work encourages the embodiment of emotions, exploration of sensations, creation of more space and capacity, and the fostering of connection and authenticity. An inner experience is guided to reconnect with the felt sense of joy and aliveness.

SMT is a gentle and introspective movement-based practice designed to help you reconnect with your body. Through simple, somatic movements and breathwork, this practice encourages you to tune into your body's sensations, guiding you to feel more present and embodied. SMT focuses on attuning to what’s happening in your body, exploring your inner experience, and building a more compassionate relationship with yourself. It's an accessible and trauma-sensitive approach, where the goal is not to strive for perfection but to allow your body to move in a way that feels right for you. This process helps calm the nervous system, release tension, and re-pattern the mind-body connection. Ideal for those looking to reconnect with themselves after stress or trauma, SMT offers a safe, nurturing space for those with no prior experience in somatic therapy.
