About Stillness in Motion

Stillness in Motion was created from a simple but powerful understanding

Healing does not happen through insight alone.

It happens when the body is included,
when the nervous system is supported,
and when we are no longer alone in what we are holding.

This work brings together movement, breath, awareness, and connection
so that healing is not something you have to force
but something that can begin to unfold.

OUR APPROACH

Many approaches focus on either the mind or the body.

We integrate both, along with something essential that is often missing. Connection.

Our work is grounded in three elements that research consistently shows support healing:

• Awareness and understanding of your internal experience
• Working with the body and nervous system
• Being witnessed and supported in connection with others

This is what allows something to actually shift.

Not just understanding your patterns
but experiencing something different in your body
and not having to hold it alone.


MEET THE FOUNDERS

Carissa Robinson, LMFT

Carissa is a licensed marriage and family therapist with a trauma-informed, attachment-based approach.

Her work integrates somatic practices, nervous system regulation, and parts-based understanding to support deeper healing.

She believes that insight is important, but not sufficient on its own.

In her clinical work and in Stillness in Motion, she creates spaces where people can safely explore both their internal experience and their body, while being supported in connection with others.


Allison Heilmann, CPT

Allison is a personal trainer and movement facilitator with a deep understanding of the body and its capacity for strength, expression, and release.

Her approach to movement is intuitive, supportive, and accessible.

She creates experiences that are immersive and grounding, allowing participants to connect with their bodies without pressure, performance, or expectation.



WHAT WE BELIEVE

That healing is not meant to happen in isolation
and not meant to happen through words alone.

We saw the gap between talk-based approaches and body-based practices
and the need for something that brings both together in a grounded, intentional way.

This work is about integration.

Mind and body.
Movement and stillness.
Individual experience and shared connection.

• Presence over performance
• Connection over isolation
• Curiosity over judgment
• Choice and autonomy in every experience

You are never required to share.
You are never expected to do anything a certain way.

You are invited to come as you are.

This is not about getting it right

It is about creating space for your body to move,
for your experience to be felt
and for you to not have to hold it alone.
