LORNI COCHRAN
About
I am a registered Somatic Movement Therapist. I practice a developmental form of Movement Therapy that works with the body, movement and sensation to release restrictive habits and patterns that often have their roots in early experiences. Through both therapy and consulting, I have helped a wide variety of children, adults, and families.
Experience
In addition to my training as a Somatic Movement Therapist through the School for Body-Mind Centering, my experience includes over 20 years of private clinical counseling. During that time, I have also consulted with families, agencies and school groups, taught workshops for teachers, parents, caregivers, and health providers, and offered movement classes for both children and adults.
My education and training background include numerous coursework hours and professional trainings. Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen OT, teacher and mentor, has played a significant role throughout my career. Her insight and wisdom along with that of Daniel Hughes PhD, Bruce Perry MD, Bessel van der Kolk, MD, Daniel Siegel MD, and Pat Ogden PhD have strongly influenced my work.
I am the mother of three children, one of whom is adopted. I have previously worked as an elementary school teacher, an instructor for Outward Bound, a college assistant dean, and a co-founder and instructor for an outdoor mountaineering program.
