Through her regular somatic movement practice, Annelisa has found freedom from pain and the ability to move and feel better.
Annelisa is an avid paddler, both kayak and surfski. She loves the somatic nature of being in the water. Her two favourites are kayak rolling practice and swimming. On land, she enjoys walking, hiking and biking.
In the 9 to 5, Annelisa has found that her somatic movement practice has been central to her good health and well-being at work. Annelisa has taught classes in the workplace, helping thousands of others find increased well-being in their lives.
