What if you could relieve pain in a gentle way and learn to manage it on your own?
With gentle, intentional movement, you can begin to recognize and shift the habits that may be keeping your pain going—so you can move with more comfort and confidence.
Does this sound like you?
- You've tried to relieve your pain with massage, stretching, physio... but the results don't last
- You don't understand WHY you have this pain in the first place
- You feel resigned like you must be getting old and this is what to expect
imagine this...
What if I told you there was a better way?
Our nervous system develops habits to deal with the stress we experience in our lives. However, some of these habits are not necessarily “good”. With practice, you can change and rewire these movement habits and watch your pain diminish.
one
Better understand your body and how to take care of it by discovering the sneaky movement habits contributing to your pain.
two
Develop more choices in how you move, rather than be stuck with the limited “program” that is running behind the scenes.
three
See improvements not only in your movements, but feel the pain decrease and notice changes in your energy, sleep and mood.
Kind words from clients
Lenore's practice identified damaging patterns, helped me build invaluable body awareness, developed a skillset to put my health in my hands, and has shown invaluable positive improvements.
She identified places where I did not realize I was holding stress. And when I visited one specialist in particular, they noticed that the misalignment of my spine that had continually reasserted itself over months was gone. This work is subtle but the cumulative results are dramatic. I would recommend her to anyone no matter where they are on the path to greater wellness.”
Thank you Lenore for helping me to develop new habits and making more positive changes for my mind and body.
Although seeing specialists has helped in eliminating my pain in the short term, the same symptoms eventually recur.
My first Somatics session focused on releasing the muscles in my lower back. Although this was a small, gentle movement, the release I felt was huge.
Since practicing Somatics regularly, the pulling sensation in my neck is gone. When my lower back bothers me, I now have a tool I can use to help myself. I can sleep the entire night without having to switch sides to alleviate the pain in my shoulders.
My overall flexibility and range of movement is noticeably improved. I would highly recommend Somatics to anyone who is experiencing chronic pain and wants to learn how to help him/herself.

Clinical Somatics Private Session
Identify your specific movement patterns that are contributing to your pain. With guidance and gentle, intentional movement, you can start to change these patterns over time — so pain begins to ease and movement feels more comfortable.
Here's what's included:
Assessment
Your first appointment includes a detailed intake, postural assessment, and identifying the specific movement habits that contribute to your pain. Appointment is 75 minutes.
Building new patterns
Over the next few sessions (60 minutes each), you will be taught to create new movement patterns, while quieting and reducing the old, unconscious patterns that interfere. This is where nervous system rewiring happens.
Custom action plan
You will be given specific movements to practice at home which will reinforce these new, more functional patterns. Consistency and commitment creates change. Group classes are suggested to continue learning and improving.

Kind words from past clients.
After a recent bike accident, I had a lot of pain in my shoulder and the range of motion was extremely limited. However, I continued with my somatics practice, moving slowly and gently and only as far as it didn't aggravate. In this way, I could move a little further each day. About 3 weeks later, I was pain free and had full range of motion. I didn't require any medical attention and believe that my somatic movements helped me heal fully. So grateful for this practice!
hi there,
I'm Lenore!
I used to have recurring hip and back pain and I wanted to know why it kept coming back, despite getting treatments.
Through many years of study and practice, I learned that it was my unconscious movement habits that were getting in the way. I’ve now become skilled at rewiring them into more functional habits and my recurring pain is gone.
I like being in the driver’s seat of my own healing and if you like the sound of that, I’m dedicated to sharing this practice with you!

A minimum of 3 sessions is required, as it is difficult to resolve chronic muscle pain in one session. Many people have a combination of different stress reflex patterns, and it takes at least one session to release one pattern.
Remember, these are patterns that may have been present for several years! It takes time to create and reinforce new movement patterns. More sessions may be required for more complex issues.
This isn’t a quick fix. It’s a reprogramming of your movement patterns at the level of your nervous system. Thus, it takes time and patience.
Somatics requires your participation and uses gentle, mindful movements to regain control of your muscles, helps you release built-up tension from stress or injury, and improves your mind-body connection. It also address the body holistically identifying your unique patterns of movement (e.g. how the shoulders and hips are communicating with each other).
Physiotherapy, on the other hand, uses external stimuli like exercises, massage, or heat to improve muscle strength, joint mobility, and function for specific injuries or conditions.
A key difference is that Somatics empowers clients to learn internal skills for lasting change, rather than relying on external manipulation, and focuses on the body-mind connection to address stress and pain.
Generally speaking, chiropractors adjust skeletal alignment. The skeleton does not do anything that the muscles don’t cause it to do, and the muscles don’t do anything the brain doesn’t ask them to do.
Somatics helps you to adjust the “software” rather than the “hardware”. The muscular system and skeletal system will be under your control through the practice of Somatics.
Here is a list of some of the issues Somatics can help with:
- Chronically tight muscles (back, hips, shoulders, neck, etc)
- Sciatica
- Piriformis syndrome
- Sacro-Iliac joint problems (S-I joint)
- IT band problems
- Knee pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome
- Upper-cross syndrome
- Tendonitis
- Frozen shoulder
- TMJ syndrome
- Plantar fasciitis
- Herniated discs
- Fibromyalgia
- Scoliosis
It has many other benefits, including:
- Improving posture and movement
- Reducing stress
- Improving sleep
- Improving breathing
- Preventing and recovering from injuries
- Effectively warming up and cooling down from workouts
- Increasing flexibility and range of motion
- Improving balance and coordination
You can reduce pain significantly as long as you do your part and practice, to reinforce the new patterns.
But we humans are always moving and doing. That means sometimes we injure ourselves, or maybe we learn a new sport and unknowingly create patterns that don’t serve us.
It’s important to understand our habits in movement are strong and if we don’t keep opening up choices for our brain we sink back to those old familiar habits.
With a regular Somatics practice you can maintain your muscles and nip things in the bud before they get worse.
Group classes are recommended to continue the momentum and expand your capacity to move.
Another option is joining A Somatic Pause, where you get access to several recordings of short somatic practices.
To live a life of pain-free, easy movement, it’s important to continue practicing so as to maintain control of your muscles. It’s no different than brushing your teeth – the consistency contributes to your health.
With regular practice, it’s not just your movements that improve but also in how you sleep and feel. As you grow your options in movement, you’ll begin to feel changes in the way you respond to the stresses that we all experience in life. You’ll learn to move with more ease and even see yourself with more clarity.
You’re encouraged to continue exploring and practicing in group classes. There is an endless amount of change possible. You’re never done learning!
Let me ask you: has it helped so far? While there’s nothing wrong with stretching and massage, those two things simply don’t change the movement patterns contributing to your pain.
Because these patterns were created by your nervous system (unintentionally), they need to be changed at the level of your nervous system.
This means creating new, more functional patterns. How? Through slow, gentle and intentional movements, and quieting any compensatory patterns.
