Each session is uniquely tailored to meet the client’s requirements providing a secure and protective space for the individual’s journey.  Margaret offers one to one sessions, weekly groups and workshops holding sacred space to integrate and embody newfound somatic awareness, while deeply regulating and resourcing every client’s innate self-healing potential.

She integrates the body map of the meridian system and philosophy of Oriental Medicine with her somatic enquiry into Embryology, Developmental Movement Patterns and Reflexes, Experiential Anatomy, Authentic Movement and Attachment Theory.
