Drawing on her lineage of somatic movement studies, the author shares her methodologies and motivations for including somatic approaches in health, art and educational settings. Focusing on the power of vibration in healing, whether it be through vocalization or larger body movement, Eddy describes how somatic sounding influences her system: Dynamic Embodiment and how she is influenced by her work partner with whom she co-founded Moving On Center School of Participatory Arts and Somatic Research, Carol Swann. She studied with early pioneer Irmgard Bartenieff, PT, CMA and graduate Luminary – Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen, Occupational Therapist, Certified Movement Analyst, and Master Somatic Movement Educator. She goes on to interview her co-founder of Bay Area Moving On Center, Carol Swann who developed VocalMotion, teaching a combination of voicework and larger everyday and cultural movement.
