This body-based healing work brings you home — to yourself, your body, your truth, and your own inner wisdom through presence, compassion, and curiosity.
Somatic Healing approach is grounded in the body’s innate intelligence. Every session moves through three natural phases — arrival, inquiry, and integration — mirroring how the nervous system processes experience.
Rooted in the body’s intelligence
My work is grounded in the knowing that the body holds every story, emotion, and truth we’ve ever experienced. Healing begins when we turn toward what is here — not to fix it, but to listen. Each session follows the natural rhythm of the nervous system: arriving, inquiring, and integrating. This cycle mirrors how the body processes experience and is what allows real, lasting change.
What Somatic Inquiry is
Somatic Inquiry is a body-oriented healing practice that blends inner-child work, nervous system regulation, parts work, embodiment, and trauma-informed awareness. Instead of analyzing or talking about what’s wrong, we turn inward — following the body’s sensations, images, and impulses. Together, we meet protector parts, younger selves, and forgotten and or surpressed emotions with curiosity and compassion. As these parts are coming to light by being expressed, seen and felt, the energy that’s been held in the body begins to move and reorganize. What once felt like resistance or pain becomes a doorway back to connection, trust, and harmony.
The somatic intelligence behind it
Neuroscience and somatic experience show that everything begins as sensation. Sensation arises first, then emotion, then thought. When we start with the body, we’re working at the origin rather than the interpretation. By allowing sensations to express and complete, the emotional charge releases and the mind naturally reorganizes. This is why this approach creates lasting change: the shift happens at the root, not just in awareness.
The philosophy behind this work
Somatic Inquiry weaves together inner child and parts work, embodiment, and body-oriented healing. It’s not about fixing or diagnosing, but about coming home to yourself — meeting what lies beneath the stories, beliefs, and programming that have shaped you. Through presence and compassion, we access the body’s language — sensation — and listen for the wisdom that lives within. This process naturally restores: - inner safety and belonging - emotional freedom and intimacy - self-trust and embodied boundaries - connection to your inner guidance - the body’s natural capacity to heal itself - sovereignty - nervous system regulation
The body remembers it all
Everything we live through leaves an imprint — not only our own experiences, but also those that came before us. Science now shows that patterns of stress and regulation can be passed through generations via both biology and behaviour. We inherit not just our eye colour, but the way our nervous system responds to the world. When emotion or stress is too overwhelming to process in the moment, the body protects us by storing the unexpressed energy in our muscles, fascia, and cells. Over time, these stored imprints can appear as tension, fatigue, or recurring emotional patterns. Through Somatic Inquiry, we create the conditions for these imprints — personal and ancestral — to be seen, felt, and released. As the body feels safe again, the nervous system naturally reorganises, and what once felt heavy or painful begins to soften into ease and presence. Healing, in this sense, is both personal and generational: when we free what our body has been holding, we also interrupt patterns that may have been carried for decades or lifetimes.
Why this approach works
Everything we experience begins as sensation. The body perceives first — through shifts in breath, temperature, contraction, expansion — and only later does the mind create meaning. When we work directly with sensation, we meet experience at its origin rather than its interpretation. In Somatic Inquiry, we follow this innate intelligence: - Arriving calms the nervous system and builds safety. - Inquiring allows what’s been stored to express, complete, and reorganize. - Integrating anchors new patterns through awareness, movement, and daily embodiment. Neuroscience shows that when emotions are felt and completed rather than suppressed, the brain’s pathways for safety and regulation begin to rewire. This is why true transformation happens not through analysis, but through presence — feeling what is here, expressing it, allowing it to move, and trusting the body’s wisdom to lead.
How it works
Every session unfolds as a guided journey inward — held with presence, compassion, and curiosity. Arrival We begin by arriving together — taking a few breaths, landing in the space, and naming what feels alive right now. You may already know what you’d like to explore or simply sense something stirring. We meet that gently, without judgment, and set an intention from this place of awareness. Inquiry With eyes closed and attention turned inward, I guide you into the body — to notice sensations, images, emotions, or thoughts that arise. We inquire into what your body wants to reveal. Through this dialogue between awareness and sensation, layers of protection, emotion, and memory begin to unfold. Parts of you — protector parts, younger selves, forgotten emotions — can be felt, expressed, and integrated. As what’s been held finds space to move, energy reorganizes and new clarity emerges. Integration We close by reflecting on what has unfolded and sensing what your body now needs. Integration continues beyond the session — in how you relate, move, and respond to life. You’ll receive simple, tailored practices and have access to me for voice or text support (depending on your container) to anchor these shifts into daily life.
Menstrual Pain, Endometriosis & the Womb’s Wisdom
Every person comes from a womb. It is the first home we ever know — a space that holds creation, emotion, and lineage all at once. From conception, we are shaped by the chemistry and emotional landscape of the womb we grew in. The eggs that one day become our children already exist within us before birth, linking generations through a shared cellular story. Because of this, the womb carries more than physical function; it carries memory. For many women, it becomes the place where everything unprocessed gathers — the unspoken emotions, grief, the ancestral echoes, and the daily stress of modern life. Even when we are not consciously aware of trauma, the body remembers. Stress, emotional suppression, or inherited fear can create subtle contractions in the pelvic space that over time can contribute to menstrual pain, tension, or conditions such as endometriosis. Research now confirms what women have long felt: the nervous system, hormones, and immune system are deeply connected. When the body feels safe, circulation improves, inflammation decreases, and the tissues of the pelvis soften and repair. Safety cannot be forced or achieved by simply silencing symptoms — it arises through presence, compassion, and a willingness to listen to the body’s intelligence. This work doesn’t fix; it creates the safety for the body to self-regulate. As awareness returns to this centre, the body begins to reorganise — pain often softens, cycles find their rhythm, and a deeper sense of connection and health emerges. Healing the womb is both personal and collective.
When the body speaks through (chronic) pain or illnesses
The body is always communicating. At first, it whispers — through subtle sensations, fatigue, tension, or a quiet knowing that something feels off. When these whispers are not yet heard, the body begins to speak louder — through persistent pain, chronic symptoms, or illness. Physical pain and chronic illness are not random, and they are not just physical. They are intelligent expressions of what runs deeper — the body’s way of showing us what has been suppressed, overextended, or left unresolved. Each symptom holds information, pointing us back to the emotional, energetic, and ancestral roots of imbalance. Modern science supports what the body has always known. Research in psychoneuroimmunology shows that long-term stress and unprocessed emotion can influence inflammation, immunity, and the body’s ability to repair itself. Pain neuroscience teaches that the brain and nervous system continuously adapt based on perception, safety, and environment — meaning that emotional and physical healing are deeply interconnected. In our culture, we’ve been taught to manage or treat symptoms — to silence the body’s voice rather than understand it. But to truly heal, we must go to the root. When we meet what the body is holding — the unexpressed emotions, protective patterns, or inherited stress responses — healing can unfold from the inside out. As sensations and emotions are met directly through presence and compassion, the nervous system begins to reorganise. What was once held in protection starts to soften; breath returns, and the body’s natural capacity for healing reawakens. While modern medicine supports the structure, somatic healing tends to the inner landscape — where emotion, energy, and physiology meet. As safety and connection are restored, symptoms often ease, health returns, and the relationship with the body deepens.
The deeper why: the Body Heals Itself
The body constantly speaks through sensation. When we ignore its whispers, they become symptoms. Chronic pain, fatigue, and illness often hold emotional or ancestral roots. As we work with the body, we meet these roots directly — allowing energy to release and the body’s natural healing mechanisms to activate. This approach not only transforms emotional patterns but supports physical healing and long-term well-being. As you learn to listen to your body’s language, you know what you truly need — rest, nourishment, movement — and life becomes guided from within. This is true longevity: living attuned to your body’s wisdom.
The layer-by-layer unfolding
Healing unfolds in layers. Each session meets you exactly where your nervous system is ready to go — no forcing, no pushing. What first appears as tension or emotion often reveals deeper stories, beliefs, or ancestral imprints. As we stay present, these layers naturally unravel: sensation → emotion → insight → release. This is how deep-seated and even ancestral patterns shift — not through effort, but through the body’s own wisdom leading the way.
Integration Support
Even though much integration happens naturally within the session — as you move through what arises and cultivate deeper presence with yourself and your body — continued integration in daily life is essential. Integration is where insight becomes embodiment. Between sessions, you'll have access to me via WhatsApp or Telegram for voice or text check-ins and you’ll receive tailored practices to support what has unfolded (limited or unlimited depending on your container). This gentle support helps you anchor the shifts in your everyday life — building self-trust, consistency, and the ability to stay connected to yourself even beyond the session.
Therapy vs. Guidance
Therapists help you understand your experiences through reflection and conversation — a valuable step in awareness. Guides work differently: we guide you within — beyond the stories, thoughts, and programming — to meet what is truly present in the body. Without analysing or diagnosing, we bring presence, compassion, and curiosity to what lies underneath, allowing your full truth to reveal itself. Talking can sometimes keep us looping in familiar patterns. Guidance invites presence — a deeper listening beyond words, where the truth of what you need begins to reveal itself. When sensations and emotions are met directly, the brain’s pathways for safety and regulation begin to rewire in real time. Through this, you reconnect with your inner guidance system — learning to trust yourself, your rhythm, and your body’s intelligence. You remain in full agency throughout — I guide, and you lead from within. This work complements therapy by bringing awareness from the mind into the body — where insight becomes lived experience, and healing becomes embodied sovereignty.
Who it’s for
This work is for those who feel disconnected from their body or emotions — who have done “the work”: talk therapy, energy work, mindset work — yet still feel something isn’t shifting. It’s for the ones who live in their head — overthinkers, seekers, and feelers who understand everything logically but can’t seem to feel it in their body. It’s for those navigating anxiety, numbness, chronic tension, emotional overwhelm, or repeating relational patterns that feel hard to change. It’s for those who long to feel at home in themselves — to trust their inner guidance, soften control, and live with more presence, openness, and aliveness. You don’t need to know how to do that — only to feel the quiet pull toward more and a deeper connection with yourself and others.
