Inese Upe

Almost 10 years working as a certified body oriented psychotherapist I had a feeling that there should be more powerful approach for the clients to achieve their personal goals

As a somatic practitioner, facilitator and a dancer I knew that 'the body doesn't lie' (and the mind is a master in that!:) and I was looking for some body oriented approach that could give more satisfaction in my work

After trying out many beautiful somatic practices, including also Alexander technique, Feldenkrais method, once I got a session in Grinberg method. In the first minutes I felt seen, heard, understood and clearly focused on my aim. And it was not from the mind, I felt it bodily, wholistic

I had the honor to study with the founders of this methodology since 2016: Avi Grinberg and Ruth Elkana, becoming a certified practitioner in 2020. I became a trainer of sMove! in 2019, and am continuously studying deeper with the founders of the method at their seminars for certified practitioners

Apart from 1:1 sessions I organize and facilitate * wild retreats at my countryside home merging several somatic and ecosomatic practices in the nature- including Authentic Movement, sMove!, Dance of Elements, bodywork and other body awareness practices; * the Forum of Somatics that gathers the somatic practitioners of Latvia and the people who wish to get to know the different approaches to the bodymind; * In year 2026 I'm in The Grinberg method's Teachers' Training studies, and opening it's school in Latvia

Being close to my 50ties I'd like to "die young ...as late as possible"- being in my energy, my power (also soft power!), within my will, this way fulfilling my potential and feeling as satisfied and happy in this given life as its possible. Meet you in the sessions if this talks to you, too!
