ABOUT...
Lola Gonzalez is an interdisciplinary artist, dancer, and somatic practitioner whose work explores the body as a space of memory, expression, and transformation. Rooted in dance and movement, her practice integrates artistic creation, psychosomatic approaches, and holistic care.

Through performances, workshops, and participatory projects, she creates sensory and embodied experiences that invite individuals and communities to reconnect with their physical, emotional, and relational landscapes. Her work engages with themes of body memory, resilience, vulnerability, and collective healing within contemporary social contexts.

Lola graduated Cum Laude from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2023 and has trained in psychosomatic and transgenerational therapy. Since then, she has developed her practice Heal in (e)motion, through which she facilitates individual and group sessions, artistic interventions, and movement-based programs addressing emotional well-being, chronic pain, and embodied awareness.

Alongside her work in dance and somatic therapy, she engages in hands-on artistic practices such as tattooing, drawing, and visual arts, deepening her sensitivity to the body as a site of ritual, identity, and storytelling.

She believes that the body carries personal and collective histories, and that movement can become a powerful language for listening to these stories, transforming them, and cultivating resilience. Her work seeks to bridge art, care, and social engagement, offering spaces where creativity supports healing and self-understanding.

05 THE MODULAR REFLEXOLOGY BASED CARPET


 



YEAR:     2022
LOCATION: Design Academy Eindhoven/ Milan

CREDITS: A big thank you to the participants who are the main actors of this research.  

Maya, Emilie, Sarah and Agathe.
The reflexology based carpet is a body memory awakening tool.
It is a modular carpet based on 15 Chinese pressure points as a therapeutic/medical tool for body movement exploration and comprehension.
It serves as a tool to trigger movement, tension release, emotion and memory while being guided through a body movement session.


It all started by the observation that I could remember and connect to my own body memory by moving onto different grounds and textures. Indeed, while thinking at a body movement workshop I realised that the scenography of it was one of the main point for the participant to fully experience it. A movement workshop needs to be thought through the scenography, the space, the sound but also material tools that accompany and help the patient or student during a body movement workshop.
Somatic is a field within bodywork and movement studies which emphasises internal physical perception and experience.

How to create material tools to emphasise and expend the somatic techniques that are used in psychotherapy, dance, or spiritual practices?
