“Americans are touch-starved and emotion-phobic” says Transformative Touch Practitioner Noël Wight. I think she’s right. Having worked most of my professional life with immigrant communities who touch, kiss, hug and caress a lot, I’m often a little chilled by my fellow Americans’ reluctance to touch and express emotion.

Listen to my interview with Noël when you have a quiet, unhurried moment. My own experience with somatic therapy has been life changing.
