Dr. Eric C

Eric Cooper's Inspire Somatics offers a transformative experience blending movement and mindfulness. I spent a day and a half with Eric in Manchester, MI. Emphasizing the connection between body and mind, the sessions were thoughtfully structured to address my personal issues. Inspire Somatics is a valuable resource for anyone looking to deepen their relationship with themselves and enhance their well-being. Eric and his wife, Trudi, could not have been more welcoming.

I have worked with a number of practitioners around the world in my pursuit of better health. Eric is right up there with the best of them when it comes to going deeper into pain patterns to find a way to release them. He is patient, passionate, knowledgeable and warmhearted. My perspective on my pain issues has changed considerably through the work with Eric. I feel much more able to investigate, stay with and ultimately heal extremely deep rooted problems that I have no doubt been carrying since I was a child. Nobody likes to be in pain, but Eric gives of himself to such a high, conscientious level but you can’t fail to come away richer for the experience. While there may be no quick, easy solutions to deep-rooted problems, I feel I now have considerably more tools than I had. For that Eric I am extremely grateful. God bless you.

I came to Eric in total desperation. My back and right hip were in spasm and excruciating pain. I was scheduled to drive across country to California the next day and I was scared about all that could go wrong! I am a yoga teacher and reiki practitioner and great with chronic pain and healing myself but this was something else and I didn't know what I needed to feel better. Eric took me through really simple movements. They were intuitive and gentle and super easy for me to duplicate on my own. We made big strides in that first session but I still was nervous about the cross-country trip. Eric made special accommodations for me to come back the next day for a morning appointment. It was like I got a brand new body in two days! But really it was a brand new relationship with the structure and partnership between my back and abdominal muscles. It is a relationship that I continue to enjoy today. I practice these exercises almost daily because not only do they work to keep my body healthy and moving, they actually feel good to do! I don't have to motivate to do them when I get out of bed, they are actually the first thing I WANT to do. That, to me, speaks the most highly about the efficacy of what Eric does. The incentive to get better is within the joy of the exercises. Beyond his skill, Eric is a warm, inviting and interesting person. He holds a great space. His healing office is magical. And you can tell that he really wants you to feel the best that you possibly can. Thank you Eric!
