Throughout my path, I turned to research on somatic movement and embodied cognition, connection between mind and body and education practices through art exploration.

I believe that wellbeing and body mind heart care is a transformative journey even in the smallest aspects of our relational self and can impact the communities around us. I think strongly that pedagogical and therapeutic ethics includes the practice of social justice through embodying our actions in interconnectedness, inclusiveness and compassion. By learning from each other while listening with as little judgement as we can handle, can we understanding the power of the words and concepts we use to describe our experiences. In my practice, as a health therapist practitioner, I commit to understand the underneath needs of people and situations. Doing so, I intend facilitating the seizing of the body wisdom's potentials to guide, orient and connect us. Together, in dialogue, we create meaningful actions and resources to heal and ease what need to be free up to continue our human journey.

My parents named me Amélie. Gaulier is the name of the family of my father's father. My ancestry runs from Spain to unknown lineages from my mother lineage whose last name is Hernandez-Lozano Esteban Chanca.  I identified as a white-based body, female and whole alive organism. Based in Brooklyn - originally land of the Lenape-Canarsie indigenous people, since 2015, my native country is France, where I grew up in the suburb of Paris and later in Paris to study and work different jobs from painting walls to selling books, from working as a waitress to welcoming visitors in exhibition art center, from assisting theater directors to teaching improvisation, somatic and dance. Body-Mind Centering® (BMC®) practitioner certified in 2010 with SOMA (Paris, France), my passion for pedagogy and somatic practices are a long journey which leads me to see people for individual BMC® private and group sessions. Also a performance artist, I teach art and movement for children and adults in different institutions and contexts for 14 years. I have been privileged to practice and to be involved into Authentic Movement, QiGong, Contemplative Dance Practice and Mindfulness meditation with various teachers and approaches. A crucial practice and container I had to learn to return to myself had occurred between 2002 and 2014 when and where I follow the path to commit for a weekly jungian psychotherapy with Nicole Crinière. I am currently studying Body-Mind Psychotherapy with Susan Aposhyan who I discovered while in my BMC training. From my early years in Paris I have been engaged in various form of activism to bridge art community and right for housing, demystifying artistic practice through my radical choice to pursue improvisation as an art form by itself in a context of solo performance within a collective, to educating myself in communal healing practices to empower and repair our heart, psyche and planet. Today, I continue to educate myself to find meaningful resources and actions to dismantle all forms of oppression and create healing practices to meet the needs to mend our collective wounds whose healing has been held back and rooted by and from imperialism to neoliberalism, from classism to patriarchy, anti-blackness to systemic racism and capitalism ... I do find love and courage by following many leaders in the field of embodied social justice who uplift and help me to stay grounded, responsible and to create a sustainable and generative world. Acknowledging the teaching of Rev angel Kyodo Williams, Lama Rod Owens, Dr. Jasmine K. Syedullah, Amber Mc Zeal, Dr Sara King, Dr Rae Johnson, Nkem Ndefo and so many beautiful and powerful people who inspire me to showing up in this world we all share and are into.
I am a Registered Professional Somatic Movement Therapist Member of ISMETA (Registered Somatic Movement Practitioners have completed extensive training in ISMETA Approved Training Programs)since 2016. Recently I have completed a Master Research's Degree at the INSPE / UPEC, National Institute of Professorship and Education in Paris, University. The work focused on the engineering and training practices on artistic creation and develops an enactive pedagogy, linking research in neuroscience and psychology showing the crucial role of the moving body and emotions in learning, and renews the mutual questioning between arts and sciences. It  is the first professional diploma in France to offer trans-disciplinary training for educators, artists and mediators. With my peer collaborator Sabrina Benhamouche, our research entitled "Journalisme Somatique" intent to understand how our self narratives and our mental constructs can be modulated through cognitive rest and somatic movement. the work focuses on embodied cognition and creating enactive tools for group training to enlarge body awareness in regards on our unconscious/conscious on historical and interpersonal trauma and resilience responses. The practical aspect of  the research  intend to create forms of social "epoché" where embodied listening and speech can be experienced to engage ourselves in a dynamic of mutual enrichment. Our inquiries approach the studies and practices on somatic education, post-colonialism/decoloniality and micro-phenomenology.
