Jeans talk, called Nervous System Fundamentals was an insightful and inspiring introduction to our nervous system.
I was particularly interested to hear her professional and scientific perspective whereby she debunks many myths that are currently circulating regarding the nervous system.
She described in an accessible way, how our nervous system works and how we can better understand and manage to make it work for us, and she gave an outline of aspects that a longer course would further expand upon. It is clear that Jean has spent years of impassioned study around our nervous system, and I feel confident that the more intensive and in-depth course that she is offering would empower me with resources to attune to, and harness, the benefits of a more regulated nervous system, which would invariably contribute to my health and well-being, and address some dysregulation that I currently experience.

In addition to this wonderful talk on the fundamentals of our nervous system, I had previously benefitted from several of the breath work sessions offered by Somatic Connection.
During these sessions I found Jean to be calm, poised and sensitively attuned to her groups' needs and progress. I feel I can trust her knowledge and experience as a facilitator, not only because I perceive her to be compassionate and caring, but I also see her dedication to share the resources that she, with a background as an evidence-based scientist, has found to be beneficial to our health and well-being. I was only able to attend the sessions for a limited period, but I was intrigued that my breath, with me always, should be such a stranger to me. When practising the breathwork method that Jean led, I welcomed the opportunity to explore how my breathing affected my body - noticing tensions that I would not otherwise notice, and feeling the positive change in my state after the breath work. It is so easy to neglect important practices due to demands and pressures in our lives - and writing this review reminds me of how powerful Jeans sessions were and that I must endeavour to integrate the breath work she shared once more, as a regular practice.

Jean’s wealth of knowledge and calming presence ensured that I felt incredibly supported and safe during the session. Thank you!

I attended a wonderful Breathwork and Sound Bath evening hosted by Jean who guided the Breathwork and then supported her friend Aiofe to give the Sound Bath. Both were delightful. Jean guided the Breathwork beautifully and it felt very safe to go deep. The Breathwork was gentle and the instructions easy to follow. It felt deep and powerful and quickly took me to very relaxed place, calming the mind and bringing me more into my body. This gave me a new perspective on Breathwork compared to other forms I’d tried in the past which felt more forced.

After attending a breathwork and sound journey with Somatic Connection I felt energised, with a peaceful clarity of thought. I also had a great nights sleep. Thank you team 🙏

Genie helped me at a particularly low point in my life when I had a host of family and personal issues. I had high anxiety and overwhelming emotions that were making it impossible for me to think clearly.

Through gentle breathwork, grounding and sound therapy Genie helped me immensely and gave me the tools to ground myself as needed going forward.

I highly recommend her practice.

I approached Jean to help me work through a pattern of ongoing anxiety, that had become more consuming in recent years.  Having experienced traumatic experiences throughout my childhood and young adult life, I have worked with several therapists over the years.  I decided to engage with Jean as I had recently learnt that Somatic Therapy can be effective in dealing with trauma and desired to find tools to assist me in breaking the cycle of anxiety that I have experienced throughout my life.  I very much liked that Jean stated that the objective of the therapy is to educate and empower me to be able to care for myself independently going forward.  I have found Jean to be incredibly perceptive when sharing my experiences with her.  Initial sessions concentrated on connecting to the body to soothe and ground me.  Subsequently, we have begun to explore a variety of concerns and personal challenges.  Jean has provided me with insight and assisted me to challenge unhelpful thinking patterns that are unfounded and enabled me to work out alternative inner dialogues that I can hold as truths that are authentic for me.  I have begun to discover strategies and tools that I can employ to shift and manage my anxieties.  The sessions are allowing me to develop my skills and confidence to promote healthy boundaries for myself in ways that benefit me and those around me.  I am looking forward to continuing to reframe my perspective of day-to-day life experience and finding alternative healthier responses and behaviours.

A breathwork and somatic work coach, whose dedication, expertise, and compassionate guidance have played an integral role in elevating my overall well-being. Her ability to create a safe and nurturing space allowed me to explore my own breathing patterns and body sensations with complete trust, which in turn led to profound shifts in both my mental and physical health. Lucky me!
