About me

Jurga Bliss

Somatic therapist, certIBMT

As a somatic therapist I apply the Integrative Bodywork and Movement Therapy (IBMT) approach and methods in my work.

The IBMT approach is based on and integrates principles from three core areas of practice and theory: The Discipline of Authentic Movement; Body-Mind Centering® and Somatic Psychology. Read more at https://ibmt.co.uk/about/

I apply a bottom-up process and invite verbal dialogue, movement, associations, imagery, sounding and intuitive touch (bodywork) as necessary, in attunement with your specific needs and following your pace and progress.

My goal in working with you is to create a compassionate and safe space for you to explore your personal path  towards embodiment, healing and wholeness. I trust in the inner wisdom of the body and it's ability to hold, protect and nurture us in ways it knows best. Through entering a respectful and compassionate dialogue with our living body, our soma, we can find that, what skillfully guides us if we listen.

Clients approach me when looking for personal growth and ways to find inner resources, more balanced and wholesome coping mechanisms, transformation and re-patterning. I often work with clients facing hardships in stress management, looking into inner family work (subpersonalities), dealing with  attachment struggles, boundaries' and other  relationship issues (family, partnerships, including LGBTQ+, ENM/polyam and other non-normative relationship structures), experiencing psychosomatic symptoms, autoimmune processes, having concerns in regards to sexuality, struggles of life abroad, in multicultural environments and etc.


I live in Southern Portugal and work both online and in person. Apart from working with individual clients, I facilitate Authentic Movement and Somatic Movement exploration groups.


I have multicultural experience, and am a mother of four children, two of whom are already adults.
