Core Evolution^®

Learn to understand how and when skillful therapeutic nourishing touch can be applied in the psycho-emotional process. Touch takes us below the Thinking Mind into the living Matrix of our conscious Body-Mind-Field.

CoreSoma directly reaches the patterns of relationship that we learned during our non-verbal development in our early years and helps to reshape our nervous system responses, our beliefs and the way we experience ourselves in the world and with others.
