Author uses her own personal experiences.
The techniques in this book are excellent. Too many times I have rushed to get in shape and wound up doing it too hard or too quickly. This caused further injury and pain. Following what this book says gently works over time. It is an excellent book.

MIndful Moves that Make a Difference
I appreciate this audiobook when paired with my regular biweekly therapy sessions. The somatic exercises are gentle and straightforward, and have reduced my stress and improved mindfulness. I loved how the clear instructions and real photos made it easy to follow along, even on busy days. After just a week, I started feeling less tense and more connected to my body, which has been a fantastic complement to my therapy work. The added tips on posture and nutrition were a bonus that made the experience feel truly holistic. If you're looking for a practical way to feel better in both body and mind, this is definitely worth a listen!

Helped me feel more in control
I started listening during a really stressful week, and I didn’t expect to feel such a difference so quickly. The exercises are simple but surprisingly effective, especially when I’m feeling tense or anxious. I’ve been using a few of them in the mornings and before bed, and it’s honestly helped me feel more grounded. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about paying attention and actually doing something that feels good. Definitely worth a listen if you’re feeling off balance.
