Coleman, BA, LMP has
been a SOMA practitioner for the past ten years. In 2007,
she moved her practice to West Seattle, having previously
practiced at The Moving Space in Ballard and Full Circle Wellness
on Vashon Island. She's now in the Admiral District, just
a block South of Metropolitan Market Amanda holds an Advanced
degree from the Soma Institute of Neuromuscular Integration®,
located near Mt. Ranier. She has studied the movement re-integration
work of Rudolph Laban and Irmgard Bartenieff with Marcia Nolte.
She has recently integrated into her work the osteopathic,
gentle-touch techniques of Jean-Pierre Barral, with Rolfer
Jeffrey Burch in Eugene, OR. She Board Certified by the International
Association for Structural Integrators.
"With Amanda,
you know from the first moment that you are in the hands of
a top SOMA professional. Nothing about her approach is mechanical.
You really have the sense that in her hands your body becomes
a work in progress. She proceeds with the confidence and precision
of a skilled surgeon modulated by the artistic, intuitive
sense of a fine musician. Amanda has a real gift for this
work. Moreover she has a big heart and the genuine desire
to bring profound life enhancing benefits to her clients.
And at this she succeeds beautifully. I can't recommend Amanda
too highly."
--L. S., Pianist/Real Estate Agent
Like many of her clients, Amanda’s life may be considered in two parts: before and after SOMA Neuromuscular Integration. Her decade of dance and movement training and a career as a stage performer opened Amanda’s awareness to the intimate connection between body, mind and emotions; yet even given her keen insight, she was unable to break free of the clinical depression and chronic back pain she experienced for ten years. SOMA bodywork gave Amanda the key to unlock the places in her body that had been abandoned due to injury and trauma. Out of her own miraculous healing and growth, Amanda has created a fuller, more vibrant life that continues to flourish and unfold.
Her first-hand experience,
as well as her work with many clients, including children
and those with developmental disabilities, has affirmed Amanda’s
trust in the beauty and wisdom inherent in each of us. Through
her SOMA practice, Amanda invites you to consider yourself
whole and unbroken, no matter your individual challenge, and
to claim the full and unique richness of the life you are
here to live.
"SOMA
changed so much in my body and in my life. I do miss it very
much. It´s hard to not fall in to your old routine and Amanda
is so far away! I miss her terribly!"
-M.S. Age 12, Vienna, Austria
