ABOUT ME
KELLY FOWLER gsyP2 CEI l3
Studio director - somatic movement specialist


Have you ever felt hesitant to try new movement methods because of past pain or injury?
I'm Kelly..this is my story.​
There was a time when I thought I had all the tools I needed. I was a yoga teacher, deeply connected to movement and teaching others how to feel at home in their bodies.
And then I was injured by a well-meaning health professional.
Suddenly I was in pain, confused, and unable to rely on the practices that had always supported me. My body felt foreign. My toolkit felt empty. And for the first time, I didn’t know how to help myself.
When I found Somatics (Hanna Somatics and The Feldenkrais Method®), it felt like someone handed me a new language—one my body understood instantly. A language of gentleness, curiosity, and possibility. Each small shift gave me a sense of “Oh… I don’t have to live like this.”
Little by little, I felt myself returning: clearer, calmer, more integrated.
That’s why I became a Somatic Movement practitioner.
I love working with people who are a few steps behind where I once stood—people living with discomfort, uncertainty, or tension that won’t budge… people searching for a kinder way back to themselves.
Because when your movement changes, your life quietly changes too.

VISION
I am passionate about Somatics, in fact I'm a complete Somatic nerd! At The Centered Room, I thrive on witnessing the transformative moments when my clients discover that they can move more easily and freely. There’s nothing quite like seeing the light come on in your eyes as you unlock new possibilities in your body. My goal is to create a supportive and nurturing environment where you can explore your movement potential and cultivate a deeper connection with yourself. I am truly passionate about sharing this work and guiding you on your journey toward greater awareness and well-being. If you are looking to enhance your movement, I am here to support you every step of the way. Thank you for visiting The Centered Room. I look forward to working with you! Warmly, Kelly





The power of GENTLENESS
I enjoy attending the Somatics classes because it's wonderful to share such a beautiful experience with others in the room. But I have REALLY found great value in working individually with Kelly to assess and address my challenges. She is very knowledgeable about the human body, and her personal demeanor is the loveliest you can ever find.
​
I very highly recommend anything offered with Kelly at The Centered Room, but above all, the 1:1 Somatics programs are not to be missed!

Unique expertise

It's very exciting to be the first person in New Zealand to be certified in CEI level 3 1:1 Somatics, Awareness Through Movement® (The Feldenkrais Method®), and Gentle Somatic Yoga®.
Although I found these practices through injury, it is functional for everybody who lives in a body - who doesn't have muscle tensions?
Maybe this practice will change your life
