Testimonials Somatic Balancing has affected me profoundly. My friend Brigitte introduced me to Somatic Balancing. She offered me a Somatic Balancing session, which I reluctantly accepted so as not to offend her. Up until then, I did not have much respect for any kind of bodywork. After the first session, I felt like Somatic Balancing is the homeopathy of bodywork. It is very gentle and relaxing. I felt very light in my lower back area after this first session. After about the 10th session, my posture changed noticeably. I've walked with a slight forward tilt for many years. Immediately after the 10th session, I had the urge to walk perfectly straight with my shoulders straight back and my back perfectly straight. As can be expected, my body took a couple of weeks to fully integrate this new, natural posture. I have always known and felt that my posture was not the way I knew it should be, but I've never wanted to force myself to adopt the correct posture, because I don't believe in trying to be someone that I am not. I am now much more relaxed in my everyday interactions with people, and the inner walls that I have always built up around myself in my feelings are not being built anymore, because I feel more safe and stable within myself. These walls have been replaced by a feeling of relaxation, and a genuine feeling that everything is alright, and there is nothing to worry about! This has of course had a tremendous effect on the way I generally look at the world, and also the way people look at me. As an outside confirmation of my inner change, friends and people I know and work with have asked me what is going on with me and what am I doing differently. They can see and feel that a change has taken place within me, but cannot pinpoint it because it affects my whole being, not just specific parts of me. Much baggage has been removed from my feeling world, and the process continues… I do not worry about things like I used to. I highly recommend the practice of Somatic Balancing to everyone who would like to experience who they really are. You will be pleasantly surprised… Sincerely, Michael Kyburz Oh, by the way I think the Somatic Balancing could be working because I feel very clear in my thoughts and feelings, and I feel stronger about taking action without bowing down. I think that someday I will get to be free and be me without having to feel guilty for being me! Wei-Kai Bravo A few months ago I found myself crying out loud for help. My life was good, I felt fortunate for the things I had, and what I had accomplished thus far in my life. However, I was feeling lost and confused. Something inside of me knew that I wasn't living life to my true capability. I wanted to be more aware of my life, and I wanted to be a better person to myself and others, but I didn't know how? Thankfully Brigitte and Somatic Balancing came into my life. The Pathwork that Brigitte introduced to me is so incredibly subtle, yet so profound in results. Since beginning my sessions with Brigitte, I feel a difference inside of me. I feel more content, and my thoughts are more positive and filled with more love. Others have noticed a difference too, they ask if I have changed my hair, or if I have lost weight. They don't know what's different; they simply know something about me is different in a good way. So much of my life right now is spent in my head. So many thoughts that are tiring on my body and soul. Somatic Balancing sessions allow me to step away from the heaviness of these thoughts and live lighter remembering who I truly am. During and after sessions, I feel lighter and surrounded by positive
thoughts and feelings. Feeling this good has started to change
the way I feel about myself. I feel lighter, and more aware of
my feelings, more aware of who I am, and more aware of the potential
I can be if I allow myself to be my authentic self. Through the
sessions with Brigitte I have been able to get to the root of
several "self" questions. How do I feel at this moment?
Why do I feel this way? How come I respond to others the way that
I do? How come I don't love myself the way I want to? Somatic Balancing is a tool that works. It works even with me, a strong headed soul. I feel blessed to have my time and sessions with Brigitte. At times I have felt over-whelmed, because I think, "My God, I have so much to learn, and so far to travel in my self journey." But, Brigitte is gentle, and encourages me to be patient with myself. She reminds me, "When the time is right, your higher self will reveal what you need to know." By searching within my authentic self and remembering, I am closer to being the person I was meant to be. Constance E. Williams Beauty and spirituality both come from within the heart. A beautiful spirit shining through. They are both about change. Through this experience I have been able to identify my own energies, what's working for me and what is not. Habits, behaviors or a pattern of behavior, transformation takes time, and all the old patterns need to be let go. In my case a deep change from within. Not one session was the same for me. One, spent releasing, letting go, as the next to create new. Live your dreams. Rocquel I first came in contact with Somatic Balancing through Michael McBride when he had a group session here in Maui. I didn't think it would do much for me but thought I would give it a try. I was surprised from the immediate relief I received from a pressure I had in my lower back. Since then I have not given it much consideration until after some time later when I was starting to have problems from a previous surgery. I asked Brigitte for some sessions and had a very remarkable reaction. After one of the sessions my body started shaking and I went into a freezing cold...this kept on for about 10-15 minutes and then it stopped. I felt a rush of peace come over my entire body and a sense of great relief. After thinking about it, I realized that my body just re-lived the trauma that I had after my surgery and released it. The feeling afterwards can't be described but it had a big impact on me and also changed my appreciation and understanding of how powerful Somatic Balancing really is. Ulf Dahlstrom When I met Brigitte, I had been struggling for over two years with post traumatic stress disorder caused by a car accident, amplified by an unethical and fraudulent doctor. The trauma was so severe that I could hardly sleep and had great difficulty to concentrate on anything since the accident and the abuse. After my first session with Brigitte, I could immediately feel a moment of peace, something I had not experienced for over two years. Just a few minutes of calmness means a lot when under such trauma. Those were the first clear signs of hope for full recovery. At each session, I felt like lost pieces of myself were being rediscovered and brought back to my consciousness for my use again. After being in darkness for so long I can only express deep gratitude to Brigitte for being the graceful instrument that is pouring life back into me. With each session, I also was able to improve my capacity to concentrate and finally deal with the extremely difficult and complicated issues of my multiple traumas in a more efficient, fearless manner. I have found courage again. I know I will continue to benefit from Brigitte and Somatic Balancing, and I am looking forward to explore my new self with her, as my traumas gradually fade away. I wish the very best to her and may everyone experience her true self and her sincere love for her clients. With very much Love and Aloha, Aloha, the first session, it was listening; the second time, my whole body - the breath merged into the body - started to tremble, pure energy, tears where running like rivers; it felt like a tree so strong, beyond imagination or words, with roots in to the Mother Earth and branches wide and far beyond Heaven. The third time, a love story so sweet with the divine. To laugh and to dance with God forever. Mahalo for sharing. Kealohi |
