Somatic Emotional Processing and Inquiry
A 6-Week Group & 1:1 Mentorship Programme with Judith Puckmayr in Stroud.
3rd Nov - 8th Dec 18:00-20:00
Learn the foundations of Somatic Emotional Inquiry and establish a regular, skilful embodied emotional processing practice.
This is a small-group and 1:1 mentorship programme designed to help you develop the skills, awareness and confidence to build your own ongoing somatic emotional inquiry practice.
Learn to meet what is happening within you - not by fixing yourself, but by developing the capacity to feel, sense and gently process what has been held beneath awareness.
Many of us spend years trying to understand ourselves, change our patterns or find greater peace. We meditate, read, go to therapy, attend retreats and practise mindfulness - yet certain patterns can continue to repeat.
We may understand intellectually why we people-please, struggle to say no, avoid intimacy, disconnect from our feelings, overthink, shut down or become overwhelmed.
But knowing why something happens doesn't always change it.
Sometimes the deeper pattern is held within the body.
The body remembers what the mind has learned to move away from.
In response to difficult or overwhelming experiences, we can develop intelligent protective patterns that help us stay safe, connected and accepted.
Emotions that once felt too much, too dangerous or too unacceptable to express can become suppressed. Rather than disappearing, they may continue to live through the body and nervous system - showing up as tension, contraction, numbness, compulsive thinking, anxiety, reactivity, relational difficulties, addictions or a persistent sense that something remains unresolved.
Somatic Emotional Inquiry offers a way of turning towards these deeper layers with presence and curiosity.
Rather than trying to think our way out of a pattern, we learn to listen to the body and develop the capacity to stay close to what is actually happening on the inside - sensation, tension, contraction, emotion, impulse and need.
As we become more available to our experience, previously unconscious patterns can begin to come into awareness. What has been held tightly can gradually soften, allowing greater choice, expression and freedom.
A foundation for your own practice
This six-week mentorship programme offers foundational training in Somatic Emotional Inquiry - supporting you to develop the skills, awareness and capacity to establish a regular, skilful somatic self-practice.
Whether you’ve experienced an introductory workshop with me or are coming to this work for the first time, the programme provides a supported space to learn the core principles and practices of Somatic Emotional Inquiry and begin applying them to your own experience.
Through group teaching, guided practice, personal inquiry, feedback and 1:1 mentoring, you will develop practical skills for exploring and working with your own emotional and somatic experience.
A central aim of this programme is to help you establish a regular embodied inquiry practice that you can continue developing beyond our six weeks together.
The intention is not to master the work in six weeks, or to suggest that deeper layers of conditioning can always be resolved within this timeframe. Some patterns and emotional material are deeply rooted and may require more advanced training, continued practice or longer-term support.
These six weeks offer a supported space to develop the foundations of your own practice.
It’s Time To Release The Past
Through live weekly group workshops, one-one support, WhatsApp support in an intimate group of Max 6-people.

INTRODUCING...
Somatic Emotional Inquiry & Processing With Judith Puckmayr
Whats Included
6 weekly live group sessions.
Meeting at our wonderful studio in the heart of Stroud. Each session will include teaching, guided somatic practice, emotional inquiry, sharing and integration. The group will also be responsive to the needs and themes that arise within the circle.
Working within a committed group allows us to learn not only from our own experience, but through witnessing and supporting one another.
Weekly WhatsApp support & practice feedback.
Weekly WhatsApp support & practice feedback
Each week, you will have a dedicated day of private WhatsApp support with Judith to ask questions, share reflections from your practice and receive guidance as you integrate the work into your life.
You can share your practice and experiences with Judith privately and directly, including questions or areas where you feel unsure or would value feedback. I’ll offer guidance and feedback to help you refine your inquiry skills, deepen your self-practice and build confidence in working with your own experience.
One 1:1 mentoring session with Judith
Your private mentoring session offers dedicated space to explore your individual patterns, questions and experiences, receive personalised guidance and deepen your capacity to work with the practice.
This isn't about fixing yourself.
It is about becoming more intimate with what is already here.
As we learn to stay connected to our experience, previously unconscious patterns can begin to come into awareness. What has been held tightly may gradually soften, creating greater freedom to feel, express and respond authentically.
More space. More presence. More choice. More availability for life.
This six-week programme is an opportunity to deepen your Somatic Emotional Inquiry practice through regular practice, group exploration and 1:1 mentorship - developing the skills and confidence to continue working with your own embodied experience.
About Judith.
Judith is an Integrative Somatic Psychotherapist, Mentor and Teacher offering a compassionate, embodied approach to emotional healing, trauma recovery and personal transformation.
A registered Dance & Movement Psychotherapist, Judith has advanced training in Somatic Experiencing, Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Emotional Repression Inquiry (ERI). Her work is also deeply informed by her own ongoing journey of healing and embodied inquiry.
She supports people with trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relational difficulties, low self-esteem and life transitions, helping them gently reconnect with their bodies, emotions and inner world.
Alongside psychotherapy, Judith has explored embodied awakening and contemplative practice for many years. She brings these perspectives together in a warm, grounded and non-judgemental space, supporting greater presence, connection and freedom.
"This is the missing piece of the healing puzzle. I've tried everything, including deep somatic work, therapy, long hours of meditation and Judiths Repression work goes right to the core of what all the other work could not touch"
Chris, Liverpool
“I feel so seen and met by Judith. Her presence is incredibly welcoming and judgment free that it feels safe enough to share my deepest vulnerabilities, and in doing so, I am able to wholeheartedly embrace more of myself. No matter what is arising in me, once I’ve sat with Judith, I feel reconnected to myself with a sense of safety and joy in the body and being present (in the here and now) feels natural and effortless."
