Intelligent Movement Somatics -

Claire Vinters

Liz has been my Somatics teacher now for approximately a year. I do a job that causes muscle tension, stiffness and pain and since finding Liz's Somatics class and then 1:1 tuition my body has become pain free and increased flexibility /range of movement. Liz goes above and beyond with the tutoring she provides and without her I believe I would struggle to carry on with my work. She is passionate about her work and it shows in her teaching and continued support. I thoroughly recommend the practice and her tutoring.

Liz's teaching, encouragement, patience and understanding are nothing short of wonderful. Wow - what an impact Liz and Somatics have had on my health and well-being! After only 6 sessions, Somatics (and, just as importantly, Liz's approach to teaching it) has done more for me than ten years of Chiropractic appointments (seriously!). Liz is an amazing teacher and I can't recommend her enough.

Liz is fabulous and through Somatics she has helped me enormously. When I first went to see her I could barely move my arms and had a lot of pain in my shoulders and neck. Somatics is now very much part of my lifestyle and I am playing tennis again which is great. Liz is extremely knowledgeable about her subject matter and knows exactly what the problem is and how to help. I highly recommend her, she knows her stuff and is a lovely person too!

Liz has a passion for Somatics that is evident immediately. Her inclusive, patient and compassionate style of teaching is always refreshing. Somatics now plays a vital role in my life, initially only finding it by chance after a sudden stroke. Liz has played a key role in my recovery and gently encouraged me to read and practice this movement therapy, which I continue to do with multiple benefits. No matter what stage of the journey you are on with Somatics, whatever your age, health, size or shape, I highly recommend Liz to support you along the way. Ronnie.

I have been attending Liz's online Somatic Classes for some months now, I first started with some personal 1:1, but then attended Liz's beginners course that then help me move to the weekly online classes. Liz is an excellent teacher, her communication is clear and precise I never have any trouble following her instructions. I feel amazing after each session and this has brought me much clarity and understanding of my own body and where I hold tension, i am more equipment now on how to release this on a daily basis though this mindful approach to movement..... I highly recommend Liz's classes and personal work to everyone.

Liz Underwood, is very professional in her manner and her explanation of the movements. I went to see her because I was suffering with heaviness and numbness down my right leg. It was even affecting my sleep at night because I just could not get comfortable. I am unsure what I did to aggravate this unusual feeling.
I had been to Liz before when she was able to hold classes. I had continued to do many of the exercises I had learned there, but I needed something extra for my problem.
Luckily I still had Liz’s contact information so I emailed her asking for help,
I had a reply within the day, and we set up a zoom appointment. Liz also sent me a video of the exercises I would need to be doing. With in two sessions of exercises and a discussion about being mindful of how I sat and carried shopping etc, it was amazing how quickly the numbness and heaviness was resolved.

I would definitely recommend visiting, calling Liz. I will also go back if I suffer muscular pain issues again.

I knew very little about Somatics when I made an appointment with Liz, after coming across her instagram page, but I am so glad I booked a one-to-one with her! It was fascinating to have Liz observing how I walk, sit and stand and to hear her feedback and expertise during our session. The way she explained things and applied her technique was so revealing, not to mention it left me feeling absolutely wonderful and relaxed. The word “melting” comes to mind and describes well how I felt at times. I also felt a real difference in my posture and the muscles that had been tight around my neck. Somatics would be valuable to anyone and everyone, no doubt. It is very gentle and easy but also incredibly revealing and nurturing. I wholeheartedly recommend Liz to anyone looking to improve movement and posture or to ease pain. She is an absolute find!

I can’t recommend Somatics with Liz highly enough. Every lesson is so enjoyable and, without fail, I always feel better at the end of a session. Liz is passionate, very knowledgeable, patient and so enthusiastic about imparting her expertise of Somatics. I have especially enjoyed doing the ‘Red Light’ class recently, I’m so amazed at how at the end you feel so much taller and opened out - probably my favourable lesson to date. Also hugely enjoyable is the monthly Nidra night, a guided relaxation class which is a fabulous way to unwind. Thanks Liz, long may you continue to help us all with your gentle exercise.
