Healing through Embodiment & Creative Expression
Robin Burgin | Somatic Experiencing™ Practitioner (SEP) + Expressive Arts Facilitator
Hi, I’m Robin Burgin a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) + Expressive Arts Facilitator AND I am on a mission to change how ADULTS experience ART! So that they can experience life differently!
Through my work, I aim to empower individuals to rediscover their creative voice, heal from past wounds, and embrace the full spectrum of human experience.
As humans, we learn by doing, by experiencing things for ourselves. Just as we learned to walk, we didn't simply think it into existence. We gradually mastered the skills of crawling, pulling ourselves up, and finally taking a step through trial and error. Art, in a similar way, allows us to bypass the chatter of our minds and truly learn what we need through the language of our bodies. It provides a space between us and our experiences, allowing us to step back, gain a broader perspective, and be with past hurts, traumas, joys, and more.
Somatic Experiencing, in conjunction with creative expression, provides a powerful framework for this journey. By accessing the body's wisdom and releasing stored trauma, we can break free from limiting patterns, behaviors and beliefs. So that we can cultivate a more authentic and fulfilling life.
My goal is to challenge the prevailing cultural narratives that often diminish the importance of art and creativity in adulthood. I believe that by fostering a greater appreciation for the transformative power of creative expression, we can create a more compassionate, resilient, and vibrant society.

The foundation of my work
Simply Noticing
We gently bring awareness to the sensations within your body. This might be a tightness in your chest, a tingling in your hands, a feeling of warmth, or any other internal experiences.
Being Creatively Curious
Rather than judging or trying to change these sensations, together we will explore them with curiosity. I might ask questions like: "What's the quality of that tightness? How does it change when you breathe?" or “Are there images, colors, or movements that emerge when noticing that tightness?”
Integration
Through gentle observation and exploration, your body may naturally release stored energy or tension. This integration allows for a shift towards greater ease, balance, and an embodied sense of wholeness.
No artistic skills required, only curiosity and a desire to learn more about yourself!
