Somatic Muscle Release™
This training offers techniques and methodologies for releasing and integrating emotional issues that have been somatized across the seven bodily levels.
Developed by Rafael Leandro Hakim, the main technique incorporates elements of Tuina Massage, Shamanic Massage, Chinese Medicine, Bioenergetic Analysis, Orgone Therapy, Systemic Awareness, Character-Analytic Vegetotherapy, and Somatic Trauma Therapy to address both physical and emotional levels in each body segment.
The experiences we go through create emotional and bodily memories that become embedded in the individual's character (the way we carry ourselves psychologically, physiologically, and energetically) in adulthood. These memories are unconscious and maintained through psychic and muscular armorings. Such armorings blocks our vital energy flow, leads to somatizations, and, in chronic states, can even result in diseases.
The therapeutic process of Somatic Release will work on the physiological and emotional flexibility of our armor through the release of energetic points that store traumatic emotions, as well as exercises and Breathwork postures, systemic experiences, and other specific techniques aimed at restoring the body/mind pulse, enhancing vitality, and gradually reducing character neuroses.
You will receive a certificate in Somatic Muscle Release at the end of the Training. This contributes to CPD.

The Fool Expression evening workshop was such a treat for the soul! Christie is a wonderful facilitator and a true medicine woman holding space for her attendees and challenging them to take a step outside of societal convention… She sees discomfort as an opportunity to dive deeper into one’s psyche and to explore modalities to better deal with situations and feelings that no one can avoid as a human being, thus providing invaluable tools to manage them. In the beginning nobody really knew what to expect and then everyone started feeling comfortable realising it was a safe space to be whoever we wanted to be and to express whatever aspect that needed to emerge…It was a truly enriching and sacred experience witnessing the beautiful uniqueness of everyone present allowing themselves to be vulnerable and authentic, because it felt safe to do so. In the end a beautiful connection was created and I (like everyone present, without a doubt) left with some deep realisations about oneself. I feel humbled and grateful to have experienced this cathartic event which encouraged us to explore deeper parts of ourselves that we weren’t aware of, and help integrate parts that we aren’t comfortable with…For all these reasons, I wholeheartedly recommend Christie’s workshop, besides the venue was absolutely beautiful and welcoming, and the background music divine… Thank you Christie Animas! Julia 🙏🌺🌼🌻
