The Soma Space: Movement For Mental Health

With Level 3 Personal Trainer Jo Hazell-Watkins I co-founded The Soma Space in Oswestry, Shropshire where we offer embodied mental health work with sessions combining movement, strength training and psychoeducation for groups and individuals. Our guiding principle is that working on the body as well as the mind maximises the potential of each approach. The Soma Space and SomaDynamic CIC were launched in launched in 2023 and to facilitate this work I trained and qualified as a Level 2 Fitness instructor, Boxercise coach and Tai Chi instructor. The Soma Space is a British Weightlifting partner gym. Read about this project in The Guardian/Observer (31.12.2023)
