I’m Alisoun, a Creative Arts and Somatic Therapist in Cowes, Phillip Island. I have learned through life experience and formal study to use creative expression, embodiment, and inquiry as powerful guides through some of life’s complex and difficult matters. I work with both children and adults, adopting a collaborative approach and offering 'more-than-verbal' methods for communication, understanding, and self-expression. I have a Masters in Therapeutic Arts Practice and am in my final year of training in Somatic Experiencing (c).
Arts Therapy can help us to explore our experiences, including thoughts and feelings that are difficult to communicate, and can include a range of creative forms (e.g. visual arts, play, movement, music, fiction). I integrate advanced somatic training to strengthen self-awareness and regulation and respond to how experience can be held within our body.
My approach is rooted in trauma-informed care, and understanding trauma at personal, collective, historical, and systemic levels. This foundation underpins my practice and commitment to addressing the effects of systemic oppression. I am drawn to creative expression and somatic awareness as ways to reclaim the agency of our bodies and narratives.
