Registered somatic therapist & embodiment practitioner- Gemma Higginbotham (M.A., RSMT, RSME):

Gemma’s body-focused, creative and intuitive approach supports the natural healing processes of life.

Many of Gemma’s clients are experiencing significant life transitions, especially the time of midlife/menopause.

Gemma is trauma informed. She honours and works safely with experiences of

anxiety, trauma and burnout.

With over 30 years experience working with the poetics of the body, she

supports journeys within the realms of body, imagination and psyche.

“I understand Body - Imagination - Psyche as LIFE.

My work supports LIFE to ‘do its thing’ - to move, adapt and evolve. As awareness opens, new experiences lead to creative and soulful possibility. Imagination in this context is not fantasy.

Fantasy is an escape from life.

Imagination offers a journey toward our unique potential, from what is hidden to what is truly ourselves”.

(Gemma Higginbotham)

Online and in-person sessions from my studios near

Kendal, Cumbria and Skipton, Yorkshire.

“It is through the body that we can rediscover our sense of belonging, our sense of home. By reconnecting with our bodies, by listening to their wisdom, by honouring their needs, we can reclaim our true place in the world and find a sense of wholeness and belonging that transcends the limitations of the mind.”
