I am a writer and philosopher who also practices therapeutic bodywork. I wrote my doctoral thesis in mind-body philosophy and have recently published further research in my book: Taking Heart and Making Sense: A New View of Nature, Feeling and the Body. I am a registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, with many years of meditation training. I hope that my work will contribute to a new philosophical orientation that understands the central importance of feeling in human life and the meaning inherent in all life and in the natural world.I use the term embodiment therapy for therapeutic bodywork because it aligns with my expertise in embodiment philosophy and is simpler and more descriptive than the name Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy. The therapy uses light touch, observation and the creation of a calm, settled space to help clients notice and tolerate the sensations and responses of their body. This practice can profoundly support a person's recovery from stress, anxiety and trauma.
