4-week Series: Emerging from Freeze: Coming to our Senses
A cranial self-touch and awareness practice informed by the Feldenkrais Method®, Cranial Osteopathy and Body-Mind Centering
----------------------------
Practice for Daily Life:
The practices of cranial self-touch and awareness are designed to travel. Each is a standalone resource you can carry beyond the sessions—for when you notice yourself in a freeze response, when you need help transitioning to rest, or when you want to come awake in your senses and stimulate creativity. Some practices downshift toward rest. Others stimulate aliveness. Using them before or after something potentially challenging can help build your capacity to do hard things with ease and creativity
----------------------------
What you’ll explore:
⫸ Recognizing and repatterning freeze: Learn to identify your automatic holding patterns and gently transition out of them.
⫸ The bones of the face as sense portals: Use direct touch and subtle movement to shift your internal state.
⫸ Perception of internal space: Explore the space of the skull and pituitary gland for a deep restoration of vitality.
⫸ Developmental patterns and reflexes: Connect to the foundational internal movements that cultivate native ease
----------------------------
Dates & Schedule:
Thursdays, 1 – 2PM ET
June 11 — July 9

About Maria Bacha
Maria Bacha, D.O., is a French-Canadian–trained Osteopath and Somatic Therapist certified in The Feldenkrais Method® and Body-Mind Centering. Maria is known for her nurturing presence and ability to meet complexity—listening carefully to the body and lived experience to help identify inner conflicts that have not yet fully resolved.
Her work with adults is deeply informed by working directly with families and children; she understands how early patterns of stress, bonding, and adaptation shape pain, regulation, and relationship later in life—and how meeting these patterns with attuned care can support change at any age. Her cranial work is at the heart of what she brings to this series.
Maria lives in the Delaware River Valley of New York and offers healing immersions around the NYC region and globally (including the Lagoon of Seven Colors in Bacalar, Mexico). Learn more at AquaJourney.org.
