It's been quite some time since I posted, sincere apologies - it's been a really full on last 12 months (and more!)..... last year I spent the first 6 months writing essays, filling in workbooks to show my learning from the previous 3 years of training of a 4 year Advanced Level 6 Diploma as a Psycho-Tactile Psychotherapist - holding the space for my inner child, turning a loosing Life Script into a winning life script (having been told as a child that no matter what I did I wasn't good enough) - and there I was writing essays - trying to stem the panics and wobbles - could I really really complete this, along with the tears and more wobbles at actually writing essays and passing them! Yikes to that too!......and then 3 days before I went into the final completion weekend and presentations - I was told by my landlord that I would have to move out of the house I was living in because he wanted to sell. Yikes! not my plan at that time. So straight after completing the diploma - Yes! I did complete - but what a completion weekend! I then had to immediately start looking for a house and then move house... all whilst trying to run a therapy practice that suddenly expanded at a massive pace.... I've spent the start of this year finding a level balance, whilst working with the most amazing process I have ever done...
I have been trying to get to a place of being able to pick up on posts, I am getting there -

I'm writing this today because I have received a message supposedly from meta that they are going to close my page due to a breach of trademark ???? - I have no idea if that is true, or if it is spam....(a friend seems to think it is spam) - I am trying to find out - so if you read this and my page suddenly disappears - I am still working: www.susanrobertsbodytherapy.co.uk
fingers crossed it turns out to be spam, or I can get whatever the issue is resolved. 🙏😬🤞

Apologies for being a bit quiet on my page - I've been sooo busy. Private Practice diary fully booked since before Xmas, and started offering Psycho-Tactile/Trauma Discharge Massage sessions @ The Monastery Manchester on Wednesdays in February. They were snapped up and booked so quickly in February that we extended the number of sessions for March - and WOW! 18 out of 20 sessions for March got booked up in 48 hours - Yikes!
That and trying to fit in written work as I steam towards completion in June of an Advanced Clinical Diploma as a Psycho-Tactile Psychotherapist has meant lots of plate spinning. But I am loving my work more and more.
I love working in the more deeper Psycho-Tactile Psychotherapy way - wonder what it is - think Talking therapy - but with Nervous System discharge at the end of the session. Deeper talking therapy can retrigger the nervous system, which doesn't know the difference between the "there and then" reactive state and the here and now RE-trigger. So we always soothe and rebalance at the end of every session to depotentiate the retriggers and bring the nervous system back into rebalance, meaning clients are more able, over time, to build Resilience and step more into themselves. A fabulous way of doing psychotherapy work. I love it. 💚

We have been working on this for a few weeks - and now we can go Live....

The Monastery Manchester asked and I said yes - and so starting in February I am going to be at the Monastery on Wednesdays too!

Our thinking is: can the sessions that I do in my Sunday workshops and classes be done on a Wednesday too, so that we can help and support more people with my Somatic Solutions and Transformational Journeys..... and so we have put together a trial run/weekly format of classes & mini workshops for Wednesday mornings in February - and - in the afternoon.......drum roll - I am bringing my massage sessions back to the Monastery! see below for details, dates and also links to booking.

Below is the morning programme for February & links for booking session times are: 10.30am to 12pm

Wednesday February 7th: Mat Based Somatic Exercise Movement Class
Wednesday February 14th: Mind Body Nervous System Connection: Mini Workshop Exploring How & Where Stress Gets Stuck Physically, Energetically, Mentally, Emotionally, Spiritually and the connection with the nervous system
Wednesday February 21st: Seated Somatic Exercise Movement Class for those who can't manage mat work - or those who do a lot of sitting at desks etc
Wednesday February 28th: Meditations to Specifically Soothe the Nervous System & Help Build Resilience

The Afternoon (1-4pm) will be dedicated to private 1:1 Chair based clothed Trauma Discharge Massage Sessions - TDM uses techniques that have been scientifically proven to soothe both mind-body & emotions, and help the nervous system come back into a more regulated state. These sessions also have the ability to help people connect with themselves more, build resilience, feel more in control and support them in Transformational Journeys.
Sessions will be 40 minutes on total, and as we do a trial run to gauge demand - there will only be 4 sessions per week available
Investment in you is just £30 per massage. Please follow this link to book: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/manchester/manchester/chair-based-trauma-discharge-massage/2024-02-07/d-rworolterlmlo

I am super excited to be invited to expand the work that I have been doing with the workshops and classes on the Healing Sundays, and as excited to be bringing my massage sessions back to the Monastery. After 10 years of offering massage sessions in the Great Nave prior to covid and all the shutdowns.... as Elaine said "Susan is coming back". Well I've been there for a year or so doing the workshops, but yes super excited to be back doing massage - and we are hatching more plans too!
We are really excited to be able to do this and hopefully help and support more people with my Somatic Solutions and mind-body connections and helping and supporting you on your Transformational Journeys. 💚💜

Gosh we haven't quite got to the end of the year and already my January diary is filling up, with booking requests for places in my workshops and classes too.
So if anyone else would like to book on or take a look at what the workshops & classes I'm running, Here is a link to my events, workshop and classes page on my website if you would like to take a peek: https://www.susanrobertsbodytherapy.co.uk/Events/Workshops/Classesor or here is a quick list:

restarting Tuesday January 2nd - weekly online Meditations to Soothe the Nervous System and bring ease to your physical body. Sessions also designed to be supportive of ongoing journeys, through tough times, connecting with like minded others, used as mini treatments sessions - they are meditations but not as most people know them! Techniques used have been proven to connect more deeply on a Somatic level, regular attendees have found them to be very supportive of their journeys through life - bringing positivity, uplift and energy as well as calming and rebalancing.
8.30pm to 9.30pm
Investment in you: £4 minimum; £7.50 standard; £10 if you can gift a little.

Back at The Monastery Manchester in 2024 for the first in a series of full day monthly workshops helping you to Reconnect with your Self; Feel more in Control of life (rather than feeling like life if controlling you); De-escalate your Nervous system; Supporting your Nervous System through Building resilience & using your Resilience tools to better effect.
We start on Sunday January 7th with How & Where Stress Gets Stuck. A full day workshop with presentation, exploration discussion on how this translates for you; with supportive models to take away, Meditation to discharge the Nervous System & bring ease to the physical body. Early bird for December bookings still available until December 31st for January 7th workshop, further discounts if book on all 4 workshops - see my website (events page) or Monastery events listing for more information.

January 21st - @ The Monastery Manchester - 2 classes book on one or both to suits:
11am to 12.30 Meditations to Soothe the Nervous System and Bring Ease to the physical body - a seated session, but incredible powerful, using techniques that have been proven to bring calm and rebalance the nervous system - and not like meditation as most know it!
1.30 to 3pm Somatic Exercise Movement Class. Gentle movements done in a lazy way - at the speed of a slothe! Giving time and an invitation to really connect with your physical body and learn - how it moves or what doesn't, where it's holding patterns are, learn too that tight muscles are not an aging issue, just muscles stuck in a contracted state that need to learn how to release and let go again. and gently releasing your body back to a more natural, neutral place that can move with more freedom, ease and grace!

I've arrived at Xmas! What a last 6 months. Just settling back in from a pretty awesome Residential training in July, as part of the Advanced Clinical Diploma that I'm doing as a Psycho-Tactile Psychotherapist - and I had to partly swing my focus on to my father and then his sudden passing. Whilst I was busy travelling through that 3 months and gently putting one foot in front of the other, taking care of me as much as I could whilst doing what I needed to do for his things - and my things - basically moving from one day to the next, one week to the next and Wow - my diary seemed to be just filling itself up with old returning clients, clients seeing the benefit of booking in for regular monthly support/maintenance sessions - new client enquiries and bookings, and before I knew it - I was fully booked.... Fully booked for the last 3 months (hence being so quiet on here), with any cancellations snapped up by "if you get a cancellation can you bring my appointment forward" - then that space getting filled up - all whilst I was just holding the space for myself - holding the space for clients in their treatments - doing what I do - as the saying goes in the world of NO HANDS massage "just stirring the mud".

And as I step into some well earned time out to rest recharge and revitalise - before stepping back into a January that is already looking pretty busy, and bookings coming in already for the workshops running at the Monastery and my class in Lymm - I look back on the year and how blessed my business has been, and how blessed I have been with the love and support that came my way following my dad's passing... and also my own personal growth... and to be privileged to bear witness to the amazing growth of my clients... the journeys they have taken - where they have come from - come to, and where they see themselves heading next... more transformations and transformational Journeys to come.

So for now a bit of rest and recovery time, some catching up with course work to meet January deadline - and then some very exciting news to announce for happenings in February..... amazing things happen when we "just hold the space for ourselves!" -

Sending you all the very Warmest and Best Wishes for Christmas, New Year, 2024 and Beyond... and Transformational Journeys that allow you to be all you Deserve to be and more!
Susan x💚🤗💚
