About me
As a child I grew up in London around multiple cultures, languages and belief systems, and was exposed to many perspectives of the world. It taught me to notice the importance of empathy and compassion in a panoply of differing views. Growing up, I often found connection through dancing or playing music, which I started to do professionally – performing and teaching to support people’s creativity and expression.
Working as a musician, dancer and performance-maker, I became fascinated with body awareness and the communicative power of touch, to learn about ourselves and each other. These things are a basic human need, yet so neglected in our education and society today. We may still engage in physicality and touch, but we may not be encouraged to connect it deeply to our thoughts, feelings or ideas. The body can remain repressed, mystified, inaccessible or unspoken.
With these sessions, I want to flip this around. Here, we tap into our bodily intelligence while exploring verbal communication. Working with both can give us clarity, strength and empowerment into our goals, challenges and wishes in life.
What I offer
I am a practitioner certified in The Pantarei Approach. This is a somatic therapy that combines hands-on bodywork and empathic spoken communication.
It uses an innovative approach that empowers the client to tap into their body intelligence as energy, resource and strength. This allows for blocked energy to move and release - for the client’s emotional, mental and physical parts to connect with more clarity.
In each session you’ll be supported through conversation and hands-on touch to help you articulate what physical or emotional challenges or wishes are present for you in your life. Movement is welcome if it helps your process.
In times of intensity, challenge or potential opportunities, it is possible to learn to flow with our experiences and tap into a more relaxed and deeper sensations of our body and mind.
Through this, we can find strength from our past, clarify and align ourselves with our future intentions. We can gain insight and vital energy to support a fuller experience of our body, mind and wellbeing.
"Thank you for a wonderful session Jan-Ming. …my body feels looser, happier, more fluid and relatively pain free. I also have more energy and vitality and a feeling of spaciousness, clarity and lightness. Your attentive presence and way of deeply listening… in equitable collaboration allows a deep safety to let go of holding patterns likely forged in survival mode. My nervous system and body feel cared for, honoured and more centered. It feels like coming home."
