Ritu Parikh
Therapist, somatic work
Ritu works with breath, posture and sensation, always by invitation, so that you can notice what you feel and settle when you need to. Sessions are slow and often quiet.
She does not use touch. Eyes open or closed, sitting or standing, you choose how each exercise goes, and you can leave any of them out.

Ritu's approach
Ritu offers each exercise as a choice, explains what it asks of you and what it can stir up, and ends every session with a few minutes to settle.
Ways of working
Attention to sensation
You decide where to place your attention, and for how long.
Breath and posture
Small, optional practices for settling, never required.
A quiet pace
Pauses are part of the session, not a break from it.
