 ONLINE GROUP SESSIONs

2026

 

After an extremely busy couple of years in which I have worked 10-14 hour days on some days to

supply evening online sessions which didn't allow any recovery time from the day, I had to take the decision

at the end of 2025, to change some of my programme.

As I step into 2026 and towards 68 years of age, to enable me to find a more readily sustainable therapeutic Work-Life balance, which will support both me, clients and class/workshop attendees for many years to come, 

I am going to take time to decide and work through what that programme might look like.


It has long been a consideration of mine to run some small group online (6 to 8 people max) low cost mind/body/mental-emotional-exploring the self on a deeper level sessions (weekly, fortnightly and or monthly).  These would be a firm commitment to attend over a longer term to really build the group community,

a place where it feels safe to be seen and heard, supported and not alone.

However, at the moment due to an ever perpetuating wait list for 1:1 sessions, I have no idea how I might facilitate this online, but I do have plans for a monthly/bi monthly in person group - see further down the page.


If this interests you please reach out and let me know!

I am passionate about helping people - I just need to now do it in a way that is more sustainable to me

and my energy also. I am not ready for giving up yet!!

Each journey is specific to the client - there are no rules re timescales.

Somatic Solutions @The Monastery Manchester


MONTHLY SUNDAY CLASSES & WORKSHOPS:

TRANSFORMATIONAL JOURNEYS: LIVING LIFE SOMATICALLY


Due to circumstances out with my control I am not able to release, at the moment, my Sunday 2026 programme. I hope to do so asap.

My classes tend to run on the 3rd Sunday in the month, (I am just waiting for information to firm things up).


My plan for January through to July is to run:

  •  Monthly Somatic Movement class - for greater freedom of movement and self connection (open to anyone who wants to take a regular journey towards connection with the body: more freedom in their movement,  explore how we hold stress, tension, trauma from a physical perspective). 


  • Monthly or Bi-monthly: Working Creatively with the body for deeper self growth and understanding from a Psycho-therapeutic perspective. These sessions require attendees to be at a place of reasonable resilience to be able to self monitor and self support any triggers that may arise from the sessions. The session will be supported - but you need to be able to self reflect and self support out with the session - or reach out for support to be able to process what might come up for you.  (These sessions are not for you IF you are looking to resource yourself to be resilient - there is a difference!)


If you are interested in attending either of the above please do reach out and let me know. I already have interest in both sessions - I just need to be able to confirm the details as soon as I am able to.


(Some people have enquired about the Language of Your Nervous System Workshops - it is my intention to just run these once per year September to November - see below for further details).

Comments from attendees of a previous Transformational Journey workshop:

Previous workshop attendee comments:

  • This was amazing, the way that you make the links makes so much sense
  • I was so fortunate to be in your workshop, it made so much sense to me
  • Susan, the way you put that across was amazing. I loved it
  • I can't wait to explore more in the workshops coming up.  I recognise that to make the changes I want - I have to make the changes.
  • The explorations helped me to chose my self care tools more effectively
  • The explorations helped remind me why I used to do the things I've stopped doing.
  • I took the work we did in the workshops and really had a look at what I needed to support me, and what I needed more of in my life and how I was going to add it. It really helped to change my life.

ONLINE SOMATIC EXERCISE MOVEMENT CLASS:

Running monthly on Monday evenings at 7.30pm for approx. 45 minutes

Please note: this class is a general-Mid Level class (NOT a beginners class) it is for people who have done at least half of the basic fundamental  movements, and want to do more regular practice and where we dive deeper into exploration of the basic movements you already know whilst bringing in more movements that get into places in slightly different ways.

Investment in you:  £10 per class 


Class comments:

  • By doing this class & the recordings I get at least one session in for me in the week.
  • I love the explorations you do - I haven't had that in any other class I've done.
  • I really do wish I had known about SEM sooner.
  • SEM really make a difference to me - I do try and do some every day and this class helps to remind me of what I am doing in my own daily practice.


Primal Touch Exchange


Primal Touch uses techniques that, through the latest research, have been proven to directly affect and impact

our Nervous System's Flight, Fight and Freeze responses and bring it back into regulation. 

Discharging the Nervous System on a regular basis, means that we are more able to be in a present time-here and now functioning place - able to be at our best, whilst being more able to process times of stress, and regain 

a regulated inner state of homeostasis more easily.


Learning how to do Primal Touch Exchange with your partner, spouse, close family member (son, daughter, etc)

is a fabulous aid to supporting a balanced healthy lifestyle. 

Life isn't a flat line, and brings with it challenges & daily as well as life stressors -

exams for children - adults too! Death, illness, challenges at work etc etc


Primal Touch Exchange can be taught in groups or 1:1 (come with your exchange partner)

We cover touch protocols, what is safe touch - and what isn't. 

Learn to work with "what's right for the receiver" - because what works for them, might not work for you.

The techniques are super easy, and it is a set sequence - just 15 minutes per person -

seated/slumped over a pile of pillows on the kitchen table


Location: TBC

Date: TBC        Time: TBC

If you are interested in this - please let me know.  As soon as I have enough interest I will be running the first workshop.  OR - learn privately with your "exchange buddy"



Comments:

  • As a Touch Therapist of many many years I know the value of touch, I also know the value of giving massage touch as much as receiving!  I have also been working with soothing the nervous system since 2007, and as part of the Advanced Clinical Psycho-Tactile Psychotherapy diploma I am currently undertaking, I have now been Certified as a NeuroTouch Provider to teach Primal Touch Exchange - not to other therapists to work with their clients - but to members of the public to do at home on a regular basis 2-3-4 times a week to enable your nervous system to be in a place of more balanced regulation.  This is not a massage for muscles - this is touch that specifically soothes and rebalances the nervous system. Think rocking babies, the soothing touch stroking pets - they can also work on you!  These workshops & learning sessions will teach you how to do it!
