Embodied Healing Maui with Caroline Kleindienst
Aloha
I am a somatic movement educator and therapist, arts therapist, meditation teacher, and multidisciplinary artist living on Maui, Hawaii.
My guiding principles are to support the body's innate wisdom to emerge and help clients reclaim safe, nurturing connection and authentic expression as tools to restore balance and wholeness.
“Caroline Kleindienst facilitated my process in the most expert and helpful ways. I felt truly seen and understood by her, as she provided a strong container for me to connect to — and work with — deep parts of my psyche and my body. She provided experiences that were healing, meaningful, empowering, and even sacred for me. Her wonderful ability to firmly, gently, respectfully, and intuitively tailor and guide my sessions with her, left me in awe of her gifts and abilities.“

What is Somatic Movement Therapy?
Somatic Movement Therapy (SMT), from the Greek soma " through the body"- is a research- based body therapy that focuses on psychophysical integration.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, SMT focuses on feelings and sensations that lie underneath a storyline or belief pattern and can address unconscious habits and behaviours, disconnection and fragmentation. By focusing on the body and sensations we can release stored tension and trauma, reclaim our sense of self, authenticity, and belonging.
"Caroline possesses a kindness, warmth and clarity that she brings to her work – and life. She has used adverse life experiences as training grounds for working with her own somatic-expressive resources in a conscious, fearless way. Consequently, her soma has truly been the laboratory for healing on many levels, and her direct experience has contributed to her wisdom and empathy as a practitioner."
~Jamie McHugh, MSME, Creator of Somatic Expression®, Colrain, MA
