Somatic Movement THURS. - Zoom 8-9am

Everyone’s pelvic floor matters, regardless of what anatomical parts you have.  If you are pregnant or postpartum, please see the other offerings specific to that. The pelvic floor muscles impact breathing, movement, posture, core stability, bodily functions and can play a role in pain symptoms. Plus, they respond to stress just like any other muscle in the body. Want to learn more?

We are hardly ever educated about this part of our body and usually don’t usually seek advice or help unless there’s a "problem". 

This educational, individual session will help you better understand your pelvic floor muscles by learning about anatomy and function of the pelvic floor as it relates to every day living and the rest of your body. Then, you will learn simple exercises that increase awareness and introduce supple coordination of these muscles.

The pelvic floor and pelvis can also be a vulnerable part of the body to focus on. Emerge with Amy LePage is a trauma-inform and responsive practice.

Screen Time Reset

Stress and/or anxiousness impacting your daily life? Have sleep challenges?

The Sounder Sleep System™ teaches day time mini moves that help you reduce stress, tension, and anxiety, helping you feel more calm and at ease throughout your day. Night time mini moves are subtle, lulling movements that encourage rest and help the brain welcome sleep. 

When your brain has a chance to shift from a state of altered stress response to calmer state during the day, it is practice for your brain and body to be able to make this shift when you are wanting to fall asleep. 

Harvard Medical School’s Division of Sleep Medicine states: “When the alerting areas of the brain are most active, they inhibit activity in other areas of the brain responsible for promoting sleep. This inhibition of sleep results in stable wakefulness. Similarly, when the sleep-promoting areas of the brain are most active, they inhibit activity in areas of the brain responsible for promoting wakefulness. This inhibition of wakefulness results in stable sleep. “  

The Sounder Sleep System™ works with the concept and weaves in aspects of a variety of self healing modalities including aspects of yoga, meditation techniques, Feldenkrais, and other somatic explorations. 

In this workshop, you will learn a number of mini moves to explore throughout the week, plus receive  audios to practice with at home. 

Most practices will be done lying on the floor on your back or side, with some done sitting in a chair and standing.

Workshop cost is $50 - be in touch if cost is a barrier - info@emergewithamylepage.com

Sounder Sleep System: Reduce Stress & Induce Sleep

Pregnancy, Birth and Parenting during Postpartum require a lot from you. Strengthening and exercise during pregnancy helps you meet the unique stresses and demands your body will experience during labor AND postpartum.  Giving yourself individualized focus during postpartum to reacquaint yourself with the new you is also very important. 

ACOG (American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology) recognizes the benefits of exercise for you and baby. In this private session we assess what stage of pregnancy or postpartum you are in and what your unique experiences have been and what hopes and goals you may have. 

The exercises we will explore have a whole -body, holistic focus that address core stability and strength through the lens of daily tasks you need to do and activities you enjoy doing or want to return to. We take into consideration diastasis, the pelvic floor, preparing for or healing from birth, and caring for your body while also taking care of baby. 

Encourage a stronger, more comfortable pregnancy, smoother birth and steadier, thriving postpartum experience.

You will receive an intake form in your schedule confirmation email. Please select the appropriate intake form and fill it in before we meet. You must be cleared for exercise to participate in these sessions. 

If you are earlier than 6 weeks postpartum, you may want to consider a Postpartum Pelvic Floor Healing Session.

Preparing the Pelvic Floor for Birth - 2 hr. workshop

Birth is an active process. You and your baby are part of it. 

From the name of this class you may think it’s about spinning the actual baby. We won’t be spinning any babies during out time together - but we will be helping you release tension to create more space so baby may find a position inside that helps to facilitate a smoother birth.

Join this interactive and practice-focused class to learn about:

- the three levels of the pelvis and how your baby passes through

- positions that help to open each of the pelvic levels (thus making space for baby!)

- the Daily Essential Activities and how to modify them based on your needs

- how to do The Three Balances® during pregnancy for comfort and relaxation and when to use these during labor and birth

- how to be an amazing birth support person

- other Spinning Babies® techniques

- the way that our daily habits may get in the way of creating space for baby

Taking this class during your second trimester is ideal - so you have time for your body to adjust to what you are learning. The purpose of this class is for you to take the information home with you and practice during pregnancy to prepare for birth. Then, you can use these strategies during birth as well. 

This is offered as a small group class (3 - 5 families max) to offer more individualized attention and support.

Private Prenantal, Birth, Infant Massage + Calm You, Calm Baby Tips

Balancing the body during pregnancy helps to release tension, stress and anxiety, creating more space and ease for you and baby. When one's body is in greater balance, the process of birth can be more efficient and the strategies for coping during labor can be more effective.  

During these sessions, you will be on a massage table receiving skilled, hands-on care that helps replenish and nurture you in the moment while also offering lasting impacts that prepare you for your birth and baby. 

Sessions will have a different focus based on your needs, from relaxation, to addressing specific places of pain or discomfort in the body, to holding space for all the thoughts and emotions that may be accompanying this pregnancy. 

Prenatal Somatic Sessions are excellent to receive once a month during your pregnancy as they help you become more present in your body. 

Near the end of pregnancy, sessions can be extremely helpful for gaining more comfort and focusing specifically on balancing your body before birth. 

If you find your birthing path includes an induction or external cephalic version (ECV), a bodywork session can help immensely with any anxiety (which creates muscular tension) that may be present as you anticipate an upcoming  procedure or birth. 

If you find your birthing path includes a planned cesarean-birth, schedule a Cesarean Birth Preparation Session.

90 minute session is $110 and is payable at the appointment.

You live in your own, unique body, with your own individualized habits and patterns. Your own histories, injuries, mindset, stressors, etc. All of this impacts how you move, how you breathe, how you feel - how you experience life.

Neuromuscular re-education (brain work), breath awareness, understanding how your body is built to move and experiential knowledge of interoception (ability to notice how one feels internally, "how am I") and proprioception (where one is in space) are keys to navigating our lives from a place of ease-fulness. They are the foundation needed to create change.

But first, you need to build awareness. How is your unique nervous system responding:  To immediate and long-term experiences? To Daily use patterns? To transitional times in life? To growing older? To coping with life’s ups and downs? To injury or pain?

Trauma-informed care and education. Effective, practical and empowering bodywork sessions.

Screen Time & Your Body Private Session - 45 minutes

Sleep evades many people for so many different reasons. In this private session you will receive a mix of sleep inducing, gentle, lulling movements, mindfulness strategies, hands-on bodywork and a personalized support plan for bringing these practices home with you.  

With the hands-on bodywork - as the nervous system responds to gentle, safe, supportive touch the brain receives the message that it is safe to release tension and relax. This helps the body shift from alert mode (fight, flight, freeze) into a place of calm, rest & restore.

The Sounder Sleep System daytime mini moves help you reduce stress and anxiety, helping you find a sense of calm and peacefulness throughout your day. Night time mini moves are subtle, lulling movements that encourage rest and help the brain welcome sleep. 

When your brain has a chance to shift from a state of alert, stress response to calmer states during the day, it is practice for your brain and body to more easily shift from being awake to resting and sleeping. 

Harvard Medical School’s Division of Sleep Medicine shows:“When the alerting areas of the brain are most active, they inhibit activity in other areas of the brain responsible for promoting sleep. This inhibition of sleep results in stable wakefulness. 
Similarly, when the sleep-promoting areas of the brain are most active, they inhibit activity in areas of the brain responsible for promoting wakefulness. This inhibition of wakefulness results in stable sleep. “  

Understanding the role ones mindset plays in either activating stress responses or subduing them is an important piece of the puzzle. As is reflective contemplation of what habits may be feeding into the cycle of sleep challenges.  

You will receive personalized support as well as a night time mini move recording to take home with you.   

While one session is very helpful, committing to three sessions within a 2 month period is most conducive for laying the foundational groundwork toward change.

Rest Well, Sleep Better: Sounder Sleep System - 90 Minute

Your feet are super important parts of your body. For many of us, they help us navigate the ground beneath us and move through the world, they support the load of our bodies, they help with balance. Even if you aren't actively walking on your feet, they matter. 

We may not even think about our feet unless they bother us in some way. We may not like what our feet look like and ignore them. For many of us, our feet are in shoes a lot of the time which means our feet can start to feel like blocks rather than the 52 bones, over 200,000 nerve endings, 66 joints, more than 200 muscles, tendons & ligaments that comprise both of your feet.  

In this 60-minute session we will discuss what is going on in your feet, use sensory feedback through touch and massage to wake up the fascia, muscles, improve blood flow, and awareness. Explore articulating exercises and make connections from your feet to your hips and upper body. Each session is unique to your needs. 

You can wear clean socks if you prefer - or not wear socks.  
If you are pregnant - please book a Prenatal Bodywork Session instead and we will discuss best strategies to attend to your feet while you are pregnant.

Did you know that in many European countries, postpartum pelvic floor care is a standard of practice?  Let's make it part of your postpartum experience too. 

Whether you had a vaginal birth or a cesarean birth, your pelvic floor matters! Understanding this SUPER important group of muscles (that impacts SOOO much) makes such a difference.   

Consider booking 6 weeks out after your due time - so you have a session already scheduled. (Once your baby arrives, you may not have the bandwidth to think to schedule this). As your appointment is coming closer, you will receive a check in email from Emerge with Amy LePage, and it's easy to adjust the date based on your needs. 

If you pre-book, before your birth, you will receive an email with a short list of simple things you can do immediately after birth to help your pelvic floor muscles receive the tending and care they deserve. 

Each session is tailored to your unique needs. Sessions are fully clothed and a mix of education and hands on support as well as verbal guided breath and gentle movement exercises. All hands on touch is external.

Emerge with Amy LePage is a trauma informed practice.

 Anyone 6 weeks to 10+ years after birth is welcome to join. 
15 State St. - 3rd Floor - Suite #303 
Join in-person or via zoom
This 2hr class is $45 (sliding scale offered is cost is a barrier to joining). 

Core is about so much more than your abs.  Whether your birth was 6 weeks ago or 10+ years ago, having been pregnant and experienced vaginal or cesarean birth is a wild ride for your body. 

Whether you have pain, feel disconnected and wobbly in your body, experience leaking want to know what exercises are ok to do when, or are just curious and want to learn more, this class is for you.

What you learn:
- simple breathing tips to relax and strengthen and how to fit this into daily life.
- ways to build strength and stability incrementally 
- how to turn every day movements into stabilizing and strengthening activities (so you don't need to find time for an exercise routine on your own).
- the breath, pelvic floor & core connection
- why posture matters: reconnecting your ribcage and pelvis
- how and why our daily use patterns matter (because many of them aren't helping us).
- things to be aware of about internal pressure and prolapse
- tips for leaking, scar tissue, pelvic pain
- Connection to our core is more than just physical - it's about emotional and mental wellbeing too

Restore Your Core After Birth

This 2-hr. session is a blending of Somatic Bodywork and Co-Regulation.

You and your baby are two nervous systems interacting together. They are learning how to self-regulate through their interactions with those around them. As parents & caregivers, having strategies for helping ourselves calm and settle are just as important as learning ways to recognize the cues your little one is sending you as they are establishing their foundation of nervous system regulation. All parents  & caregivers of your little one are welcome to join - or you can come on your own - with or without your baby. 

We will spend some time exploring co-regulation tips with whoever is there and then we will re-group so you receive some hands-on support through somatic bodywork. If other folks are with you and baby, they can hang out in the back room or explore downtown Montpelier.

Co-Regulate & Somatic Bodywork Combo

Calling on the work of Amy Wright-Glenn of the Birth, Breath and Death Institute, as well as somatic skillsets, these sessions offer compassionate, mindful presence and a witness holding space for you. 

As you share what you feel moved to share, mindful breathing, deep listening, reflective sharing, tuning into body sensation, and offerings of movement and / or meditation are brought into the 50-minute session. 

*Holding Space Consultations are distinctly different from traditional mental health counseling.
* They are also different from the somatic bodywork 
* A scope of practice will be sent before your session so you know exactly what to expect.

Sessions are 45 minutes long.

Holding Space for Impactful Life Transitions, Grief & Loss

Part of parenting is learning to let go. Whether it's a feeling of letting go of parts of yourself that you hope to revisit later on, or heading back to work and leaving your little on in the care of others. Maybe there's been a change in family configuration and your kids are with you part time. Are your kids older and spread their wings to ventured out on their own? 

Having some support for YOU as you settle into the different stages of your parenting journey and big life transitions can help you better navigate what is no longer and .... all that is yet to be in your relationship with yourself and your child/children.

Find your breath, move your body, listen deeply to what is real for you in this moment. Through a mixture of somatic exploration, involving movement, breath, talking, writing, authentic movement, bodywork you will receive non-judgemental, deep listening and guidance.

Individual sessions are typically 60 minutes ($85) - email if you are interested in a 90 minute session ($110).  info@emergewithamylepage.com

Location: 15 State St. - 3rd Floor - Suite #303 
* Sessions can be held virtually as well.

Periodically, there are workshops offered with myself and Laura King, exploring Big Life Transitions. email for more information about these gatherings: info@emergewithamylepage.com

Exploring You Throughout Parenthood

Coping with Grief and Loss During Pregnancy & Birth is part of the journey for some pregnant people and families. Calling on the work of Amy Wright-Glenn of The Birth, Breath and Death Institute, Emerge offers somatic holding space sessions as one way of supporting people with grief of loss in all its varying forms. Session may include hands-on therapeutic touch, if this feels right to you.  If touch is not feeling quite right - there is space for being with all the emotions while also utilizing somatic movement and breath practices along with holding space for any words that want to be expressed. 

The first session is offered on a by donation basis.

If additional sessions are wanted they can be for 60 minutes or 90 minutes at the regular rate (with sliding scale options available).
