somatic treatment

Release tension, restore balance, and reconnect with the natural flow of your body.

My work combines hands-on treatment and movement coaching, shaped by 15+ years as a professional dance artist together with certifications in Ilan Lev Method, Reiki, and yoga. Sessions use gentle movement, stretching, acupressure, and dynamic touch to refresh the body, invite breath, and restore balance.

What happens in a session?

  • Release tension and dissolve blockages through gentle, flowing touch.

  • Explore new movement patterns that bring lightness, flexibility, and freedom.

  • Receive a personalized experience tailored to your needs, supporting both body and mind.

Somatic therapy draws on movement education, bodywork, and energy practices to support healing and well-being through hands-on treatment and movement practice. These approaches engage the parasympathetic nervous system, helping reduce stress and inflammation, improve sleep and digestion, and increase vitality. Over time, I introduce simple movement explorations so clients can build their own sustainable practice for long-term freedom and resilience.

Who is it for?

  • Those who live with chronic pain, stiffness, or discomfort and long for more ease and mobility.

  • Those who are recovering from burnout and need gentle support to restore energy and connect with their body.

  • Creative people—actors, dancers, musicians—who want to deepen their body awareness and develop their expression.

  • Anyone who longs to rediscover calm, joy, and vitality in everyday life.

Why try the somatic treatment?

  • Relieve pain and support recovery after injury.

  • Boost creativity and enhance body awareness.

  • Regulation of the nervous system and emotional balance.

Reflections

“Jag har varit på många kroppsbehandlingar men sällan eller aldrig upplevt något så djupgående och välgörande som Sarahs behandling. Hennes lyhördhet, hennes djupa kunskap om Ilan Lev-metoden och säkra handlag gör att jag alltid går därifrån med en känsla av att ha blivit transformerad. Piggare, vitalare, öppnare, mer grundad, avspänd. Ibland mer av det ena, ibland det andra. Dessutom har rent fysiska problem, som en värkande höft t ex, lindrats och t o m försvunnit. Som sångare och skådespelare är det värt att nämna att behandlingen har en mycket bra effekt på rösten. Kan varmt rekommendera Sarah Stanley och ILM till alla.” Rolf, Stockholm

“One of the best body treatments of all sorts I have ever received. Sarah was very intuitive and present when she was working with my body, and my body responded very well. I have done other treatments before, but with Sarah I loved the high focus on both body and energy flow. She is very skilled with amazing techniques.” - Farnaz, Stockholm

“A very special treatment that leaves me feeling more alive each time. This gets the energies flowing inside and out, which has such a healing and opening effect. Sarah is an incredible practitioner who is in tune with you, her and all that surrounds. Highly recommend!” Inka, Stockholm

“I felt more free, calm and powerful - gaining a better understanding of the role the body plays in both my physical and mental well being.” -Dya, Berlin

“What an amazing feeling to forget how your body feels and rediscover it without all the little dysfunctions one collects over time… to gain awareness of some body parts that I, it seems like, never really knew of.” - Lukas, Berlin

“Sarah opened avenues in my body and breath that have been locked for years. Full of joy, Sarah made space for my body to rediscover pathways to help expand and soften. ” - Kelly, New York

“A lot of laughter, care, wiggling, and release... I can very much recommend Sarah's treatment to anyone who wishes to access more sensitivity and availability. “- Samuli, Helsinki
