What happens in a 1:1 Session?

I usually deliver AT ‘hands-on’ which means using my hands to support & draw awareness to different parts of your body. AT teachers train for 3 years to use their hands in a special way. Instead of manipulating or changing someone, our hands act as mirrors to help people orient themselves in space and gain an awareness of the quality of tension they are holding in their body. But if you’re uncomfortable with touch, I can deliver AT verbally.

Naturally the content of a lesson is led by what each individual wants or needs. However ever the traditional elements of a session consist of:

• Grounding and orienting in space to help you feel safer.

• Coordinating the body through simple movements such as sitting, standing and walking. Or using the Dart procedures, which is a movement sequence.

• Exploring breathing.

• Most lessons include an ‘AT lie-down’, which is helpful to integrate the session.
