 Amalia Garcia will be holding the workshop for us for the Spring Meeting this year, 16th May 2026, 2-4pm. The workshop will be held at at Friends Meeting House, 91-93 Hartington Grove, Cambridge CB1 7UB and will be held after the AMBT committee meeting from 11.00am to 1.00pm (open to all members, in person and online), following a bring and share lunch.
The afternoon workshop with Amalia is free for all members, and open to non-members at a cost of £20. Amalia's bio Amalia is a Senior Lecturer in Dance and an Internal Family Systems (IFS) practitioner, working at the intersection of embodied movement, creative process, and therapeutic presence. Her work brings together somatic practices, improvisation, and parts-work to support safety, self-leadership, and compassionate relationship with inner experience. She is a programme assistant on IFS trainings, leads creative health programmes, and facilitates movement spaces that honour both psychological depth and poetic embodiment. Session Brief This 2-hour session will weave Internal Family Systems with gentle, exploratory movement. Through simple somatic and creative practices, participants will be invited to listen to their inner world through the body, cultivating curiosity, safety, and connection with different parts of self. The emphasis will be experiential rather than theoretical, allowing space for presence, felt sense, and Self-led awareness to emerge. The precise focus and structure will be shaped closer to the time, in response to the group and what feels most alive and needed.

 Fascia, biotensegrity and scarring Date: Saturday 28 February 2026, 13.00 – 17.00 Location: Ealing Quaker Meeting House 17 Woodville Road Ealing, London W5 2SE This half day workshop with Jan Trewartha, Principal of Body in Harmony Training and Director of The Fascia Hub, will give an overall understanding of the fascia and its biotensegral nature, and focus particularly on the effects of scars on the body and how we can work with them.
MEMBERS OF THE ABMT CAN ATTEND AT THE SPECIAL PRICE OF £20 - FOR ALL OTHERS THE COST IS £45. - to book your place please email Yvonne, [email protected] ABOUT THE FACILITATOR: JAN TREWARTHA B.A.(Hons.) Jan is the founder and director of the British Fascia Symposium and The Fascia Hub. She has been in healthcare since 1979, originally training as a State Registered Nurse in the Queen Alexandra Royal Army Nursing Corps (QARANC), working with patients on the wards and in the operating theatre; a superb if non-deliberate foundation for her future career. In 1988, being trained by a blind massage therapist to really ‘feel’ the body under the hands led to a lifetime passion for bodywork. Her work now is the culmination of many years of training and experience in different disciplines. Through her school, Body in Harmony Training, Jan runs a variety of light touch therapy courses, including Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork, scars and adhesions having become her specialism. Jan is co-editor and lead author of Scars, Adhesions and the Biotensegral Body, published May 2020 by Handspring Publishing. Jan is also Founder and Director of The Fascia Hub designed to bring top level information to the fascia community. There are still places for the workshop available and we have a request for a volunteer: We need someone with a prominent scar who would like to be worked on for Jan’s demonstration, who has not had any Sharon Wheeler’s ScarWork before – ideally who hasn’t had any type of scar therapy before. If you think you’d like to volunteer please do get in touch. Thank you! Posted by Ruthie Baigent, ABMT Vice Chair and Treasurer, 22/01/2026 |
