Hi there! My name is Dani.
www.danitonks@gmail.com

​Who am I?

I am a somatic coach, educator &  facilitator for embodied self expression, confidence, body positivity, and nervous system resiliency. I've been studying and teaching somatic education for over decade within the perfomring arts industry and more recently the corpoate sector.

I facilitate & design playful, powerful & nourishing spaces for transformation, connection & empowerment.

I work with brilliant & unique individuals, organisations & independent artists to create space for innovation & somatic self study.

I'm here to help you, your community or work place come back home to your body safely, ease-fully & joyfully.

My mission is to connect people to their embodied playful essence to live a fuller, freer life.​

I do this by creating safe spaces for people to explore their edges, melt inhibitions, and reconnect to their mind, body and soul.

I work with psychotherapeutic techniques and mindfulness based practice such as; Focusing, authentic movement, conscious improvisation, breath work, voice release, somatic meditation and ritual as methods for processing lasting embodied change.

Coaching | Mentoring 

Consists of practices that - when integrated intentionally - will reinvigorate your Nervous System's resiliency, & therefore, how you relate to your world helping you create more play, joy & pleasure in life, relationships & self. 

I use a experiential approach drawing on some of the most established schools of body-centred therapy and somatic practice, including:  Focusing, Authentic Movement, Conscious Improv, Mindfulness and Gestalt. 

I have regular supervision, therapy and ongoing CPD. I’m studying Systemic Psychotherapy at the University of Bath as part of a 4 year MA.  Alongside my private coaching practice and events with The Psychedelic Society  I work part-time  within the mental health / NHS sector in Bristol.

​I have designed four foundational pillars of practice that you can view here via my website.
