"Thank YOU for a wonderful class and for
continuing to offer your classes to our small
group.  I’ve gotten so much from working with
you, both privately and in class.  Thank you!"

Janet, JD, PhD, Los Angeles

"Thank you for the somatic bootcamp!  I so
enjoyed being in the class and getting to
know you and your ways even more.  You
are a gifted teacher and visioner and
feeler/knower of what is needed."

Julie Coren, Writer & Somatic Educator, L.A.

"In just four sessions with Teri I noticed subtle
yet powerful shifts in my own ability to self
regulate and internally sense.  After fifteen
years of chronic migraines my nervous system
has been overly sensitive, yet frozen.  Teri's
work helped me to be able to sense, for the
first time in my life, the effect that long term
migraines have had on my nervous system
and begin the process of understanding the
tools I need to be in charge of my own
healing."

Ashley Johnson, Dance Artist and Educator,
Canada

"Teri's classes are amazing!   I leave feeling
not only restored, but also grateful for a new
way of thinking and experiencing my body's
potential.  Moving beyond conventional
exercise, I am learning to experience deep
relaxation and healing through effortless,
flowing movement.   I am convinced Teri's
teaching and movement practice will help
me resist the aging process.  I could not be
handling the stresses in my everyday life
with serious family member's illness without
this new type of somatic work."

Sue Miller, Speech Pathologist & Author of
Targeting Pronunciation, Los Angeles

"Teri, you have a natural ability to see the
bigger picture of a health situation...  I truly
appreciate your process because it produces
results that are tangible.  Your hands-on body
therapies and Somatic Movement education
has been more effective than the allopathic
methods I’ve tried... My left ear was totally
blocked, so my hearing was marginalized.  
When I went to a radiologist, an ear nose and
throat doctor, and a general M.D....  they all
said the hearing loss was a residue of the
chemo that I’d undergone.  Each doctor
wrote it off as though it was a complication I
just had to live with... Your proactive process
has empowered me to better understand a
holistic relationship of my health issue, with a
positive outlook and ways to implement a self-
healing process.  It's great to hear again!"...

As a Reiki Master I am well versed, well
acquainted with healing in the body and a
oneness in the Universe, with all things.  In
the SOMATIC workshop with Teri I
experience a deepening of this truth to
levels that are new and unexplored within
me.  I have done a lot of release work and
much personal healing and yet, in this
venue, I find I can go much further on my
own healing path.

"Teri has a presence that invites you to
unfold.  She combines that with an
intellectual capacity that integrates the
experience.  You leave her workshops
feeling nourished."

"I've been speed skating, bmxing, climbing
and jumping off buildings since I could count.  
And I have stories, scars, stitches and some
tweaks in my body to prove it.  I have
experienced many modalities of healing, yet
none as built upon both client and
practitioner understanding and working with
the body.  And the effects of this partnership
in work with Teri can be felt.  Not only is there
the calm and restful state of being touched
and worked on by a professional, but I also left
feeling independent and more able to treat
myself.  I will certainly return to delve deeper."

Patrick Miller, "Extreme Athlete",  So Africa

"Teri, your class continues to amaze me and
I'm really grateful for it. I can read Pema
Chodron or David R. Hawkins or whom or
whatever all day with sincerity until the
cows come home, but I don't ever learn
anything.  For me books are very useful to
reflect into after having experience, but not
so much before.  Experience trumps
knowledge (someone has said that) and
your class is a wealth."

Z, Administrative Assistant, Los Angeles

“Teri Carter is extremely patient, caring and
skillful, and my sessions with her went beyond
“body work therapy”.  She balanced, relaxed
and energized my mind and body, leaving me
with a sense of calm, happiness and freedom
from pain and discomfort.  Working with her
was centering and transcendental.  She is not
only a gifted practitioner, she is a teacher,
and the lessons learned while working with her
will be used throughout my lifetime.  Bless you
Teri Carter!”  

Jaime Nicolaisen, Composer and Teacher“

"Guiding us deeper and deeper inward, then
further and further outward, Teri's precisely
guided exploration of internal body-mind
experience in relation to the seemingly
external field opened me to pure
Awareness.  We also went outdoors to look
at a plant.  Because of her guidance, it was
almost possible to sense the molecules of
the plant moving. "

Judith Rivin, LCSW, Los Angeles

"After one session with Teri, a nagging
migraine headache was gone.  Quite a relief
from more than 6 days of debilitating pain.  I'm
so relieved!"

Meg Patterson, Richmond, Virginia

Thank you for the revelatory experience
that today's workshop provided for me. I
don't remember ever being so present both
in mind and body as I was today. I hope that
I will be able to incorporate that into my life
on a regular basis.

Judith G, Zero Balance Practitioner, Los Angeles

Erika had carpal tunnel restriction...

"MY HAND!  MY HAND!  Thank you, thank you,
THANK YOU, Teri.  My right hand has changed!
I feel silly that I never realized that the
'natural' shape my right hand was in, was not
natural at all.  You know how my hand kind of
folded and pulled in in the middle and how I
had this bulge below my right thumb, with lots
of pain?  GONE -- all of it. The bulge under the
right thumb is gone and the tissue is soft and
pliable, not stiff and stuck. MIRACLE!!!!  Also,
the hand is more flush with the wrist and the
wrist more flush with the forearm.  You're a
miracle lady.  I'm SOOOO happy!  I will see you
next week.....I'd like to spend a little more time
on exercises/movements I can do at home for
my hand.  NO SURGERY for me!"
 

Erika, Executive Asst, Los Angeles

Thank you so much for your the beautiful
experience last Saturday. Your
Inhabiting
the World of Horses
workshop was unlike
anything I have ever experienced before! In
this tumultuous world we live in you
provided us with a space of pure grounding
and involvement with these elegant
creatures. A space where we could drop
down deep into our own inner resources and
feel one with all that is.  These animals are so
pure in heart, so connected to all that is
around them that one cannot help but feel
it also.  You and Brenda guided us so gently
into the horse’s environment and alleviated
all fears we may have had. You gave us
practical advice on how to claim our own
space with them and then allowed us to
enter that world that is theirs and ours to
claim. That day will be with me...is part of me
now.  I have found myself going back to the
horses often in my mind with great peace
and pleasure.  I long to be with the horses
again as if they are old and ancient friends
of mine.

Thank you again Teri for opening up that
place for me.

So much Love to You,

Ellen Lane, Artist, Topanga, CA
 
"I've been attending Teri's classes for several
years.  She is a fantastic teacher!  She has
helped me develop a deep level of
communication with my body, enabling me
to find substantial relief from chronic pain
and tension and giving me confidence in my
body's ability to repair and rejuvenate itself.  
Besides her thorough understanding of
Continuum, she incorporates a vast
knowledge of other somatic practices and
Toaist martial arts practices and makes it all
relevant and accessible.  She explains
difficult concepts clearly and has a
wonderful ability to tune into students to
help them with their individual needs."

Linda B.,  Attorney, Los Angeles
