What is Somatic-Concentric S*x Therapy (S-CST)? โฃ๏ธ

It is a holistic, body-centered approach that heals sexual dysfunction, trauma, & intimacy issues by addressing the โ€œconcentricโ€ layers of human experienceโ€”physical, emotional, cognitive, relational, & cultural. ๐Ÿฉต

It bridges the gap between traditional talk therapy and physical, embodied sensation, focusing on breathing, tension, & nervous system regulation to foster pleasure, agency, & deeper connection. ๐Ÿฉต

โ€œDance embeds us into a particular place and time within the present moment, into our own living breathing, sometimes hurting, bodies, connected to the ground of the earth and the others we share it with, whether human, beyond-human, or ancestral. I see the science of dance resting squarely in the biological, chemical and structural phenomena of the body which organize themselves in principals and patterns that give rise to the theoretical concepts that underlay our work. I see the art of dance as the place of sacred play where curiosity and spirit emerge, as individuals as well as communities drop into the delight and wonder of what is possible moving together on the edge of what has been, and what could be. Together we become bridges between the wisdom of the body in motion and the art of creation, as dance offers us a resource, a template and an ocean of possibility for our lives and our world.โ€ ~ Kim Rothwell

โ€œbridging the art and science of dance
as dance in its purest form is the body in movement, one may say that the very expression of
this moving body is an art in and of itself; unconscious of its own imagination and giving into
implicit rumblings imbedded in its bones and skin.
on the other hand, we have the choreographed dance; a planning, organizing, and executing of
this body in movement.
when collaborative, the dance becomes an art and a science.
the body as mover and the body as moved.โ€
