Your Essential Motion

Experience the gift your body is longing to give you…

Are you experiencing distress in certain areas of your body?

Unexplained pains, persistent tension, lack of energy, difficulty sleeping, or other body discomforts or yearnings may be your body’s way of clueing you in to what you most need.

Essential Motion is a guided process that helps your body reveal the desires hidden behind your pain and discover what it will take to fulfill them. In a one-on-one session with an Essential Motion teacher, you can explore and unravel physical and emotional dilemmas that are troubling you and have defied resolution. You’ll experience new emotional freedom and a greater sense of well-being. In many cases, physical pain lessens or dissolves.

Developed by San Francisco dance therapist and Rosen Method bodywork teacher Karen Roeper, Essential Motion is based on the premise that by learning to use the body as a reference and guide, we are able to access the source of our being, creativity, and wisdom and meet the challenges of our lives in a more integrated, skillful, and effective manner. Roeper offers one-on-one sessions and workshops in Essential Motion internationally and trains Essential Motion practitioners through a certification program.

Pat Samples offers one-on-one sessions in Essential Motion in the Minneapolis area as part of her advanced training with Roeper.

Here is what Essential Motion clients have said after one-on-one sessions with Pat Samples:

“I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years. I have been on a continuum professionally and personally, many seminars, workshops, support groups, client psychological sessions, evaluations, assessments, interventions, presentations, and the gamut, and never have I reacted so viscerally. It was a first for me. It was what I needed to let go and move on.” Angela

“During my session with Pat, I got in touch with parts of myself that I was not liking. As a result of our session, I was able to acknowledge, express and find a place of acceptance for those parts. Since then I have been better able to fully feel these feelings and love myself while having them. This has softened me and allowed me to be more authentically me - and gentler in my relationships. I am very grateful for this experience. Anne Boever
