THERAPY, MOVEMENT & MEDITATION
WITH AIMEE RAI
Aimee is a natural teacher & therapist - warm, wise, dynamic, and deeply intuitive. She is a truly holistic practitioner expertly weaving modern science and psychology with ancient wisdom and somatic practice and has been working in the field for almost 20 years. For those accustomed to more clinical environments, Aimee's approach to wellbeing is refreshing and potent.
Aimee is a certified counsellor and ACCPH fellow and supervisor. She specialises therapeutically in somatics and trauma (in all its forms and guises) having studied with some of the most respected and pioneering trauma specialists in the world including Bessel Van Der Kolk, Steven Porges, Gabor Mate, Arielle Schwarz, Pat Ogden, Peter Levine, Dan Siegal, Richard Schwarz, and Eric Gentry of The Arizona Trauma Institute and more.
​
​Aimee is also the creator of Medicinal Movement™ - an artful fusion of trauma informed psychological somatics, with Kum Nye Tibetan Yoga and Relaxation, Tandeva (original Shaiva free movement/dance) and meditations from and inspired by the teachings and practices of the classical Indo-Tibetan Tantric Traditions.
She is currently under the mentorship of Dr Miles Neale ("Gradual Awakening - The Tibetan Buddhist Path to Becoming Fully Human" & "Advances in Contemplative Psychotherapy"), Rob Preece ("The Psychology of Buddhist Tantra"), Geshe Tenzin Zopa (Unmistaken Child) and Zeenat Cameron within the sacred Shakta Tradition of Sri Vidya.
​
Aimee works with a small number of people one to one - now more as a therapeutic or spiritual mentor rather than regular counsellor - guides yearly retreat intensives & pilgrimages, and trains several groups a year through her school - www.isohh.org.uk
"A modern day wise woman"

a note from aimee
"I am to work in a manner that is truly holistic and inherently non-dogmatic. Science and psychology play a vital part in my work, but I am not a clinician, nor am I classically trained by choice.
I am a therapist, but I am also a devoted practitioner of Classical Tantra & Buddhism, I am an artist, and I am a dancer. I know the power of nature, ritual, movement, meditation and breath.
Everything I teach and share with others is more than just rhetoric from a textbook - it is born of my own experience, of nearly 20 years of simply walking the path, and doing the work."
