Pulsing: NEO-REICHIAN BODYWORK

Dismantle the barriers that are holding you back

  • Release stuck emotions
  • Reconnect with your body
  • Change your way of being in the world

This is the power of Pulsing: a neo-Reichian approach to bodywork that gently melts your emotional armouring.

If you feel trapped by old patterns, unprocessed emotions or a body that feels more like a battleground than a home, it’s time to experience something radically different.

Feel more, express more & connect more deeply

Pulsing is a rhythmic, rocking form of bodywork rooted in the principles of Wilhelm Reich’s groundbreaking somatic therapy.

Reich believed that emotional trauma is stored in the body, forming “character armour”—tensions and defenses that limit your ability to feel, express, and connect. Pulsing works to gently and effectively break down that armour, offering a path to emotional freedom and reconnection with your true self.

Think of Pulsing as a dance between movement and stillness, energy and release, all held within a safe, nurturing space.

During a session, I’ll use gentle rocking, stretching, and passive joint movements to create a wave-like rhythm throughout your body. This rhythmic motion not only takes you to a place of profound relaxation but also invites your bodymind to let go of old patterns, freeing you to experience life with greater ease and vitality.

Unlike traditional massage, Pulsing focuses on the skeletal system and the body’s innate rhythms rather than deep tissue manipulation. You remain fully clothed and are encouraged to simply relax, breathe, and allow your body to rediscover its natural state of flow and aliveness.

Neo-Reichian therapy with compassion and sensitivity

Reich’s work taught us that the body holds the key to emotional healing.

When we experience hurt, rejection, or shame, our bodies adapt by creating physical defenses, e.g. tightness in the chest, rigidity in the pelvis, or tension in the neck. These defenses might protect us in the moment, but over time, they become barriers to connection, joy and authentic self-expression.

Pulsing addresses these defenses with compassion and care. The rhythmic movements coax your body into a state of trust, allowing you to feel and release emotions that have been buried for years.

This isn’t about forcing change. It’s about inviting your body to remember how it feels to be free, open, and alive.

In a Pulsing session, you might find yourself:

  • Releasing tension you didn’t even know you were holding.
  • Connecting with deep emotions—from joy to grief—and letting them flow.
  • Rediscovering the pleasure of movement and sensation.
  • Experiencing a profound sense of relaxation and inner stillness.

Pulsing offers a gentle-yet-powerful way to access long-repressed emotions, develop greater body awareness and foster a deeper connection to yourself.

What to expect from a Pulsing session

A typical Pulsing session includes:

  • A detailed consultation to discuss your goals and ensure Pulsing is right for you.
  • 60 minutes of hands-on rhythmic bodywork, delivered while you lie fully clothed on a massage table.
  • Movements designed to help you feel deeply supported and aware of your body’s sensations.
  • Space for emotional release, integration, and reflection.

After a session, many clients describe feeling profoundly relaxed yet energized, lighter, and more connected to themselves. Whether you experience a meditative state, an emotional breakthrough, or simply the bliss of being nurtured, Pulsing will leave you with a renewed sense of aliveness.

Your first session will begin with an extended consultation to talk through what you’re looking to get out of Pulsing. I’ll also double check the information you’ve put in your intake form (which I’ll send you in advance) for anything that would contraindicate Pulsing for you.

Then there’ll be up to 60 minutes of hands-on bodywork, leaving plenty of time at the end of the session for integration.

The bodywork is delivered with you lying on a regular massage table, fully clothed, and consists of continuous rocking accompanied by specific stretches and movements which are designed to guide and direct your awareness to different parts of your body.

During this time you may enter something like an altered state where deep emotion more easily rises into conscious awareness. I will help you feel, express and process that emotion by holding space for it and by prompting you to involve more of your body, breath and voice.

After a session it is common for people to feel deeply relaxed or even sleepy, but equally commonly people become energised, and feel more awake and aware.

You should leave yourself plenty of time after a Pulsing session to process what’s happened before engaging in any demanding physical, mental or social activities.

I need to be able to pick up your limbs and move them around, so loose comfortable clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement is best. Lycra can be a bit too slippery, so think tracky bottoms and a t-shirt. No jeans – the buttons and waistband makes bodywork difficult.

Sessions happen in warm, comfortable, confidential treatment rooms at Space To Be You in Hackney, which is located just off Mare Street between Cambridge Heath and London Fields overground stations.

A 90-minute session includes 60-minutes of hands-on bodywork and costs £110.

The recommended frequency is once every two weeks.

This gives your bodymind enough time to process what’s happened at the previous session but isn’t long enough for your old conditioning to take hold again.

Pulsing is not so good for people with hypermobility, advanced osteoporosis, herniated disks or other severe spinal injuries, any risk of thrombosis, epilepsy, or in the first trimester or last few weeks of pregnancy.

You should let me know before the session about any current injuries, illnesses or other serious health conditions.

Because Pulsing is a regressive therapy, it’s also not for children or anyone who has required serious mental health interventions in the past.
