about amy wj
Amy Wanner Jeansonne, MA, is an educator, maker, library professional, parent, and the author of several booklets and zines. In working to understand her own chronic pain and neurodiversity, she created Go Slow Studio to make space for practices in somatic movement, art, and human ecology as means to nourish the mind-body-spirit connection. Her work is shaped by a scrappy midwestern upbringing, queer culture, a deep appreciation for our greater ecology, and years she spent living and teaching science in New Orleans.
A lifelong movement enthusiast, Amy completed her 200 hr Somatic Movement Teacher training in summer 2023 with Essential Somatics and is now a Registered Somatic Movement Educator (ISMETA). She primarily practices in the tradition of Hanna Somatics, but is always learning, and loves how somatics combines her passions for anatomy, body-mind practices, and learning in community.

about Somatics
Somatics is a foundational movement practice that addresses the common reflexes that cause us to hold tension in our muscles. Learners use simple movements designed to reestablish neuromuscular pathways, allowing us to become more connected to our bodies by gaining awareness of our own patterns. This awareness supports body-mind functioning by alleviating pain, improving mobility, and calming the nervous system.
