Jane Mann

My name’s Jane and I live in Vermont with my husband and furry & feathered friends. I'm originally from Scotland and I do indeed love tea.

I came to SE as a client with a deep desire to feel something different than stuck & collapsed or anxious & overwhelmed. The work with my Somatic Experiencing Practitioner helped me do just that. I remember one specific blue-skied day, I was out for a walk and I could just BE there. Taking in the trees, the sounds, the colours, the beauty. I had a skip in my step, grin on my face, and my breath and belly felt soft- wow! So different! I had to know more deeply what this thing called Somatic Experiencing was. I have since completed the 3 year training and I am delighted to be assisting Lael Keen and Russell Jones in the current New Hampshire Cohort.

My professional background is in Occupational Therapy (adults and kids), Yoga and Mindfulness, Massage Bodywork, Coaching, Nia Dance and Menstrual Mentoring. I have a private practice in Hanover NH where I offer mostly SE & SE Touch. I also hold classes & retreats weaving some combination of somatics, embodied movement, myths & stories and the menstrual cycle. It is an honour to be with folks & co-hold the container as they build their somatic skills and grow deeper trust in their body's innate wisdom.
