Emma Loveday
certified somatic practitioner
praxis
My work is rooted in a deep devotion to the restoration of an integrated and collective form of wellbeing. I observe and experience the creed: as above so below, as within so without – my practice supports the inner-work that ripples and reflects in service to societal/ cultural/ collective healing.

Creativity and Transformation (Jessica Bockler, PhD)
Studying the phenomenon of Creativity and Transformation, within psychological research and practitioner application. Designed and enacted a 3-month Creative Practice Pledge —
‘Embodied Belonging: into an expanded sense of Vertical Existence’ —
incorporating meditation, breath, somatic orienting, choreographic and spontaneous movement practices to inquiry into interoception (interpreting internal body signals) and communication with the creative ‘sourcery’ that is my embodied intelligence.
Praxis
I am committed to ongoing study and lived practice, from both scientific and sensorial discovery. I hold this work with deep gratitude for the teachers, lineages, and traditions that shape our learnings. Honoring what has been received while continue to listen, refine, and evolve. Weaving the experiences and knowledges I carry to meet the innate wisdoms and healing potentials held within the body to generate somatic healing and resonance —
this is Embodied Belonging.
