Who we are

"Healing Through Movement"

We are a movement-based wellness centre that enables healing and self discovery through a holistic, somatic approach established since 2005 by Amy Tan and Audrey Yeoh as a space to grow and nurture our continuing passion towards helping others through the wellbeing of their bodies.

Somatic refers to the awareness of the body 'from within' and education has to do with awakening these abilities by improving the natural control of our own body.

"Unconventional but Effective"

This is our clients' description of us.

We are serious about delivering our promise to you, offering help to the best of our capabilities and knowledge in a creative way beyond traditional and conventional approaches.
