A Journey Around & About Vertebral Highlighting
Smantha Holland
Presentation:
In this presentation, I'll outline my journey in experiencing vertebral highlighting both as a client and as a clinical somatic educator – proposing some alternative ways of enabling clients to sense and move their paraspinals in Lesson 1, and including a short guided movement practice by way of an experiential illustration. The presentation is offered as an invitation to share experiences and ideas about the intended role and effects of the vertebral highlighting segments of Lesson 1, and around what might be possible and effective variations of and departures from them.
Samantha Holland, PhD, BFRP, ESMT, CCSE, RSME,
has a background in philosophy, law, anthrozoology, and cultural studies, as well as overseas voluntary work, academic editing, and psychotherapy. In Hanna Somatics, she finally found the only effective way to address the chronic pain she’d been experiencing for almost a decade, and what she’d been seeking for over twenty years – that is, a practice that helps people by genuinely walking the walk of non-Cartesian talk! Samantha’s an Essentials Somatics® Movement Teacher and Certified Clinical Somatic Educator who teaches in-person and also online through her ‘SoMA: School of Movement & Awareness’.

The After Effect
HSE Learning Community
Presenters and Attendees Wanted
The Hanna Somatic Education Learning Community is a monthly group that will be hosted by Ryan Moschell and the AHSE Education Committee. This group’s mission is to cultivate our members’ continued learning and deepen our community’s connection. All AHSE members would be most welcome to attend. Together, we’d benefit Hanna Somatics as a discipline, while supporting the common growth of our clients, the general public, and ourselves as Hanna Somatic Educators.
In this online group, AHSE members are invited to volunteer to teach a topic of their choice focused on Hanna Somatic Education. Each presentation would be 15 to 30 minutes in length. You’d have the valuable opportunity to practice your presentation skills and your HSE colleagues could process your chosen topic together. You certainly don’t need to be an expert on the topic. You’d inspire the group to learn from each other through their questions and discussion.
The presenter can get a recording of their own presentation that they can present to their clients, post on social media, upload to YouTube, or use to write an article. If the content is cleared by the AHSE Education Committee, your recording can be archived in the Members section of the AHSE website.

o Anatomy
o Kinesiology
o Neuroscience
o Somatic movements / Techniques
o Diagnosis - somatic interpretations and possible solutions
