About Rachel MA, BA Hons, IBMTdip

I have been working with the body and movement since 1993, and initially trained in Visual Performance & Theatre at Dartington College of Arts (BA Hons). Since then I have explored many movement & body-based approaches for my own personal healing & interest.

In 2003 I started training with Linda Hartley (Founder of IBMT) & in 2010 I qualified in Integrated Bodywork & Movement Therapy (IBMTdip). I find this to be a very empowering approach to health, grounded in the best of both science & intuition. I have experienced first-hand, as well as witnessed it in many clients, the many benefits of befriending & working with the body in this way.

My previous work has always incorporated people, health & well-being and since 2007 I have also been teaching Wild Food Foraging & Nature Awareness.

Finally, I am fascinated with the inter-relatedness of the Somatic Healing body-based work & the outdoor environment work that I offer & am passionate about bringing these two areas together more. Thus awakening to the reflections between our internal & external worlds for greater healing of Self, Others & the Environment.

I am fully insured, first aid trained & CRB checked.
