Listening to Your Body

You are responsible for your own choices, movement, and wellbeing during sessions.
Please stop any exercise or practice that causes pain, discomfort, dizziness, or concern and seek appropriate support if needed.
Movement, Mindfulness & Somatic Practices
Somatic practices within The Whole System Studio refer to gentle body-awareness, movement, breathing and attention practices intended to support self-awareness and wellbeing. They are not somatic psychotherapy or a treatment for trauma, mental-health conditions or physical illness.
Psychotherapy Boundary
Sharon is currently completing a master’s degree in Humanistic Psychotherapy. This training informs her understanding of the relationship between body, emotions and wellbeing; however, The Whole System Studio does not provide psychotherapy, counselling, psychological assessment or mental-health treatment.
Classes, workshops and retreats are wellbeing and educational experiences. Anyone seeking psychological or therapeutic support should consult an appropriately qualified healthcare or mental-health professional.
Responsibility
Participants are encouraged to take responsibility for communicating relevant health information, working within their own limits, and following appropriate modifications or guidance during sessions.
