Looking for somatic psychotherapy training in Europe?
Core Strokes® offers an integrative, body-oriented training pathway.
Core Strokes® is an integrative approach within somatic psychotherapy that works with the body as a living, relational process.
It brings together breath, fascia, and relational presence as interconnected dimensions of psychological and somatic experience.
Rather than focusing on isolated techniques, Core Strokes® supports practitioners in developing the capacity to perceive, understand, and respond to how experience is organized in the body.
🔹 An Integrative Somatic Approach
Core Strokes® is grounded in the field of body psychotherapy and integrates insights from:
- breath as a developmental and regulatory process
- fascia as a dynamic matrix of embodied experience
- relational presence as the foundation of therapeutic work
This creates a framework in which emotional, physiological, and relational processes are understood as part of a unified system.
🔹 What Makes Core Strokes® Different?
Core Strokes® emphasizes:
- working with the body in real time, rather than applying fixed techniques
