Jane Schleyer - Somatics
Jane discovered the benefits of Somatics in 2015 having an interest in overcoming health issues
brought on from having Fibromyalgia and fatigue caused by stress.
The gentle movements brought relief to both the mind and body that it inspired her to learn more and to eventually train to become a Somatics Movement Coach with Lisa Petersen of “Living Yoga” in Dublin.
The Somatics Education world is vast, so Jane continues to explore and is currently training with Brian Siddhartha Ingle and Gayatri Schriefer of “Living Somatics” along with continued practice with other teachers.
Jane found that with regular practice, Somatics gave her a lift to living her life in a more functional way hence she created “Lift2Life” to introduce the movements to others.

A Personal Story of Healing, Understanding & Care
“If you are based in the North West of Ireland, hopefully I will be able to help you. I am running a space that is easily accessible for anyone who is looking for a safe place to have some complimentary treatments while going through or post cancer treatment.
I feel that my understanding of the needs of a person at this vulnerable point in their life is heightened due to my own personal experiences, and I am very aware of how carefully people need to be treated and looked after during this time.
I offer a little space for healing and nurturing during a time when the body can feel under constant attack, a space where you can find respite, empathy, relaxation, and care.
When I finished my own cancer treatment, I trained as a Holistic Massage Therapist and then completed additional courses in Oncology Massage and Manual Lymphatic Drainage.
Sessions are always adapted to each individual’s needs. I also support people before and after surgery with MLD sessions to help the body prepare for upcoming procedures, and to aid recovery afterwards, while helping to minimise scarring.
I would be happy to have a chat with you over the phone or in the studio to see if there is anything I can do to help you find a little comfort along this journey.”
