Somatic Movement Education and Therapy

JENI ASCOSI is a Somatic Movement Educator-Therapist in practice for almost 30 years, working with children through elder adults. Her training and experience in the holistic health and creative arts fields are underpinned by a Masters Degree in Dance & Somatic WellBeing. Jeni uses her wide-ranging degrees, certifications, and personal innovations in service to her clients, creating pathways through complexity and into harmonizing, relational vitality. 

One-with-one sessions are designed to meet clients in: long-held & complex pain/dis-ease, needs requiring more robust support to catalyze change, a desire to explore “big life questions” in intimate and creative ways, and as a way of holistically caring for oneself through movement, gentle touch, and rest.

Movement research and multi-disciplinary arts

In addition to one-with-one sessions, Jeni invites perceptual expansion and heart-full inquiry through her community offerings. Centered in our foundational, dynamic interrelationship with the living world, these offerings take the shape of mini-retreats, interactive performances, and a unique 11-week course/non-course, Emptying into Fullness.
