Welcome. My name is Anna March. I'm a therapeutic practitioner, health professional and yoga and meditation teacher who is passionate about Somatics. For those of you unfamiliar with this term Soma is the body, and Somatics is the felt experience of the living body. I offer therapeutic somatic stress release coaching sessions in person (in Raglan) and online. Somatic Stress Release is a series of body-centered practices that help us regulate and restore our nervous system and build our capacity to process stress in a way that is healthy, natural and adaptive – often through movement which most of us haven’t been taught how to do. This can apply to stress that is current, or old stress that we carry in our bodies from unprocessed events in the past. Somatic Stress Release helps us relearn how to respond to stress and, over time, we regain our ability to respond to stressful events and situations with more ease and choice. These confidential, empathetic and supportive sessions increase people’s resilience to meet and flourish in life. They are for people who have stress or traumas that they wish to work through and release. Sessions are tailored to the individual and build their capacity through a strength based approach. Please contact me to book in a short discovery call or your first session. https://annamarchsomatics.com/contact daily 0.75 2023-09-18 https://annamarchsomatics.com/stress-management-sessions daily 0.75 2023-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/eecb68c6-bfe5-421c-966e-7b6c08cedd03/anna-march-somatic-therapist-02.jpg Sessions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/d3169938-b481-4746-9bc2-5ab577bdd425/anna-march-somatic-therapist-01.jpg Sessions https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/1d0df6b4-679f-41c2-a0fb-dacaf963774a/anna-march-somatic-therapist-02.jpg Sessions https://annamarchsomatics.com/stress-management-life-coach daily 0.75 2023-10-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/bf18b335-591a-470d-be00-1f2fb287a080/anna-march-somatics-profile.jpg My journey - My ethos My ethos in life is connection: connecting with people and nurturing those connections. It’s the reason I chose to live in the small beachside town of Whaingaroa (Raglan) 23 years ago and be part of the loving community here. It’s here I met my husband and we have created our family; two beautiful girls and four loved pets. Professionally, connection with people has been a driving force in my studies and career. I began working as a registered nurse 24 years ago, and 10 years later began teaching yoga and meditation. Cofounding a yoga/ pilates studio in Raglan, and also studying as a massage therapist. All of these skills and experiences have lead me to my journey studying Somatics, including; Somatic Psychology, Somatic Stress Release, Integrative Somatic Trauma Certification, evidence based emotional freedom technique (EFT). I have witnessed in myself and others the power of Somatic Stress Release. These experiences lead me through a natural progression from full time nursing to coaching others in Somatic Stress Release. I consciously create an environment for meeting, connection, exploration and play in my sessions. Being and moving in a way that honours and encourages clients to mindfully flow, breathe and build strength. This increases client’s capacity and adaptability in a safe and intuitive way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/32f7eac3-f9be-47e5-b586-a521db52d153/somatic-stress-release.jpg My journey - I believe a full, healthy, balanced and joyful life is our birth right. Unfortunately most of us move through our lives carrying a lot of baggage and stress which overwhelms us and escalates anxiety. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/29644ced-4ba9-4a08-b9cf-be1a72f1b694/somatic-training-healing.jpg My journey - My Journey I suffered a lot of years living what I would call a challenging existence, overwhelmed by stress and limited capacity. My resilience was low, I was depressed at times and struggling with a sense of overwhelm. This pattern drove me to ask questions about how I could change. I came to realise our bodies hold the score of our life's experiences. That we are all born with innate wisdom. Our bodies are wired for health if we can see them in their whole and be with the Self. Six years ago I began studying with Dr Scott Lyons. His extensive experience and knowledge on Somatics and stress has profoundly changed my life and how I view stress and myself. I now assist Dr Scott Lyons in his Somatic Stress Release Certification programme through EmbodyLab. I'm possibly half way through life and feeling the best, healthiest and happiest I can remember ever being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/c41f1b1f-c600-4ada-b02a-a5a08beff6e8/somatics-stress-training.jpg My journey - My qualifications Bachelors of Health Science in Nursing - Registered Nurse Somatic Stress Release Certificate with Dr Scott Lyons Somatic Attachment Therapy Certificate through Embody Lab Integrative Somatic Trauma Therapy Certificate and Mentorship programme with Embody Lab Evidence Based Emotional Freedom Technique EFT – (Tapping) for Health Professionals through evidencebasedeft.com Healing Trauma with Peter Levine Integrative Somatic Parts Work Certificate with Fran Booth Holistic Life Style Coaching Metabolic Typing Nutrition Level I and II Certification Others 200 hr Yoga teacher training with Tias Little/ Prajna Yoga 100 hr Body Module with Embodied Flow TM with Tara Judelle and Dr Scott Lyons Massage Therapy Diploma, Hot Stones Massage Certificate & Ayurvedic Thai Massage Certificate https://annamarchsomatics.com/faq daily 0.75 2023-11-21 https://annamarchsomatics.com/somatic-meditation daily 0.75 2023-11-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61b1c0e4b1f48f50b5b4b0e3/6af5ecd7-cd71-44ae-a128-5445d4ce6364/meditation.jpg https://annamarchsomatics.com/store daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://annamarchsomatics.com/store/p/gift-card-bg4wa monthly 0.5 2021-08-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60feb5f1a27ea45ff4202f28/1627510458154-NPPAHCJLER6LPGUH8AIE/Gift+Card-+blue.png Store - Gift card
