Resetting Scoliosis Patterns - Interview with Laura Gates, Clinical Somatic Education

Laura M Gates is a Hanna Somatic Educator (CHSE) and Clinical Somatic Educator (CCSE) and a practitioner based in New York City and Averøy, Norway. As a former professional dancer, she toured internationally with the Lar Lubovitch Dance Co in the 70s and 80s and earned an MFA degree in dance from Bennington College. 40 years as a movement educator inform her work as well as her studies of kinesthetic anatomy with celebrated master teacher Irene Dowd in NYC. She was certified by both Somatic Systems Institute, Northampton, MA and Novato Institute, CA in 2007. She is a member of the Essential Somatics LLC team, training and mentoring clinical practitioners and somatic movement teachers internationally. Her teaching includes online, in person, hands on 1 on 1 sessions, and workshops and retreats in several countries, often on the subject of asymmetrical posture and scoliosis. This work offers noninvasive, effective techniques to improve symptoms, including pain relief, increased mobility, better alignment, with benefits to all aspects of health. Laura has a deep passion for putting these excellent self-care tools in your hands. Her unique style of teaching draws from her background in the arts, bringing creativity and rich imagery, and her deep knowledge from applying these techniques to her own scoliosis over 16 years. www.lauramgates.com ___________________________________________________________________ Clinical Somatic Movement for Scoliosis Workshop with Laura Gates 5th October 5-7pm BST Free for SHINE members, £60 for non-members https://movewithscoliosis.com/shine-w... __________________________________________________________________ MOVE WITH SCOLIOSIS RESOURCES Not sure where to start your practice?
