Linda Hartley has worked since 1977 in the fields of dance and somatic movement therapy, bodywork, transpersonal and body psychotherapy. She is a teacher of Body-Mind Centering®, a UKCP registered Psychotherapist, senior Dance Movement Psychotherapist, and ISMETA registered Somatic Movement Therapist. Linda has an MA in Somatic Psychology, is author of Wisdom of the Body Moving, Servants of the Sacred Dream, and Somatic Psychology, and editor of Contemporary Body Psychotherapy: The Chiron Approach.

As founder of the Institute for Integrative Bodywork & Movement Therapy she has run training programmes in England and Germany since 1990, and also works as a therapist in private practice in the UK.

Linda believes that experiences in early life, including pre- and peri-natal life, can profoundly affect us throughout our whole life cycle, and feels passionately about embodied movement practice as a way to address some of the difficulties that may arise. See: LindaHartley.co.uk.
