  • Would you like to experience more aliveness and vitality?
  • Do you want to cultivate more capacity to move through emotionally challenging times?
  • Are you interested in establishing a regular embodiment practice that is trauma-informed?
  • Do you simply want to move because you know how good it is for your emotional, mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing?

If your answer is YES to one or more of these questions, The Non-linear Movement Method® will be a great support to you.

What is The Non-linear Movement Method®

The NLMM® is a trauma-informed movement practice where you become sensitized to the feelings of your body and where mind and body are invited to work in partnership so you can make better decisions in life.

In a nutshell, the practice helps you release stress and overwhelm, unite body, mind and heart and foster vitality and wellbeing. (To read about its benefits in more details scroll to the end of this page.)

This powerful embodiment modality has been developed by Michaela Boehm over the past 2 decades. The method is rooted in her early somatic training and has been developed and refined within her extensive clinical experience working within a demographic with severe trauma, addiction and personality disorders. She then further refined and adapted it for a broader use in her experiential workshops, as a means of connecting students with their inner landscape, exploring, and releasing physical contractions, withholds and emotional closures.

I really enjoyed the NLMM session - it helped me feeling centered going into my day afterwards

I really enjoyed the NLMM session on Saturday. The music is fantastic. I love the way it is rhythmic and continuous, which creates an invitation to move how my body needs to move. It was unique and familiar at the same time – just different enough for me to release into the movement. Your instructions and demonstration were helpful and very clear. The class helped me feeling centered going into my day afterwards and I would like to incorporate some NLMM into my morning practice. Thank you so much for sharing this tool and modality. It fits so perfectly with my philosophy and natural tendencies!

The session with Corinne left me feel relaxed and in-tune with my body

Thank you for such a powerful Non-linear Movement session - so easeful, nurturing and healing. I loved the way you introduced the method and gently guided us through the session. I now feel very relaxed and in-tune with my body.

What to expect from a NLMM® Session

DSC_7301 - Copy

A "no force/no imposition“ somatic modality

ACCESSIBLE TO ANYONE

NLMM® is specifically designed as a “no force/no imposition“ somatic modality which means that apart from a few basic guidelines and prompts, you won’t be instructed on how to move your body. Neither will I tell you what you should feel or experience. It can be practiced by anyone regardless of physical health, ability, fitness level or age.

This is your time for "interoception" the ability to feel what is “inside” and become more body aware.

It is facilitated on a mat or blanket. You will dress similar to a yoga or dance class, in comfortable, non-restrictive clothing.

I have truly fallen in love with this empowering embodiment practice during my certified teacher training with Michaela Boehm & Steve James and hope it will benefit you as much as it benefits me.

Join me for LIVE ONLINE CLASSES below, or contact me for IN-PERSON CLASSES in Singapore held @Refindery Fitness in River Valley.

The NLMM session helped me experience in my body that nothing remains the same forever, but constantly changes no matter how beautiful or terrible

Before I joined the body release session (NLMM) I had a very unpleasant experience in real life. And I am so glad that I had this opportunity at the right time! I not only "realized" but experienced in my body that emotions and images keep changing, and that it is up to me how long I keep on "holding" them. They are shoving to change and I can decide to let them flow. Nothing remains the same forever, but constantly changes no matter how beautiful or terrible. And the knowing that I can decide to let them flow is really self empowering. So, thank you again!

Ich war überrascht, wie gut ich loslassen konnte da ich ein sehr kopflastiger Mensch bin.

Danke für die heutige Klasse. Sie hat mir sehr gutgetan. Ich mag das es auf Zoom angeboten wird, mit der Kamera und dem Ton ausgeschalten da ich mich so viel besser gehen lassen kann. Es hatte etwas archaisches für mich und hat mich an das gebären von meinen Kindern erinnert, in dem der Körper einfach komplett mitgehen konnte ohne etwas kontrollieren zu wollen. Es war eine spannende Erfahrung und ich war überrascht, wie gut ich loslassen konnte da ich ein sehr kopflastiger Mensch bin. Aber die Musik hilft sehr dabei, sich dem Prozess hinzugeben

Benefits of The Non-linear Movement Method®

Regulates the Nervous System

The demands of modern life create stress and tension in the body and an overactive mind. NLMM encourages the identifying and unwinding of patterns of contraction. Through gentle, non-force movements bodily tension and underlying mental loops are relieved. The result is a systematic, self-guided unburdening of the nervous system.

Processes and Identifies Emotions

As the body unwinds and the mind relaxes its pressured pace, the emotions associated with these contractive patterns become apparent and can be dissolved through the movement. You can note recurring emotional loops for further processing and at the same time allow emotions to simply arise and let go.

Releases Trauma Patterns into Flow

One of the common results of traumatic experience (fresh and old alike) is “freeze”, a state in which body, mind and emotions are stuck in a state of numbness. Often “freeze” is falsely perceived as a feeling of “calm/nothing”, which results in an inability to release the experience and ease the bodily patterns of hold. NLMM facilitates a continued movement, which gently opens the freeze pattern and allows for recognition and release of the underlying bodily and emotional patterns.

Unites Mind and Body in Intimacy with Physical Sensation

Through continued engagement with release of contraction and facilitation of emotional awareness, the ingrained patterns become both more apparent and less pronounced. Over time, physical sensation can be more fully engaged with, and the acceptance as well as tolerance of all sensation increases. Intimacy with whatever is present is possible. Body, Emotion and Mind can align to support an integrated approach to feeling and understanding existing behavioral patterning.

Creates High Bodily Responsiveness

NLMM educates the body how to release and process contractions, stress and emotional tension while at the same time sensitizing you to your internal landscape. This is called “Interoception”, the ability to feel what is “inside”. Via the body we become highly attuned to all sensations and can note, react or release fluidly and without having to attend to traumatic or suppressed backlog.

Opens Access to Bodily Wisdom

By putting emphasis on movement and circumventing the analytical mind and loops of tense thinking the natural intelligence of our bodies is accessed. Through gentle guidance the mechanisms of “freeze” and refusal to feel are being loosened and our innate bodily wisdom can create the necessary actions and releases.

Awakens Vital Energy and Sensual Sensation

As tension, contraction, and emotion are being released, the body becomes sensitized and we are able to feel deeper. One of the marked results of this sensitization is an ability to feel increased pleasure and well being. Participants report an increased ability to connect through their body, both with themselves and others.
