Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy is a holistic approach that integrates mind, body and spirit, offering relief for a variety of physical and emotional conditions. Somatic means to experience from within, rather than seeing or judging yourself from the outside. It involves paying attention to your body and allowing you to feel and listen to whatever is happening in your mind, body and emotions.
You can experience Somatic Therapy privately or join a small group online course. You can book your Somatic Therapy session at my studio in Otley, Leeds area, North London or online.
What happens in a Somatic Therapy Session?
You may be seeking help with pain or stressful emotions, or both. We start by exploring your needs and then find movements or positions that you are comfortable with. We work together in a way uniquely tailored to you. This is a collaboration where I offer guidance and you find your way, discovering and listening to the guidance towards healing that comes from within. This combination of somatic resources, Yoga and dialogue helps you to rebalance your nervous system, connect to the healing wisdom of your own body and integrate your mind, emotions and overall being. You will leave the session feeling empowered to make the positive changes in your life that you want to make.
This approach does not require you to be able to do yoga!
Everyone is welcome.
How Somatic Therapy can help physical and mental health.
Anxiety and Stress Relief. If you are experiencing anxiety, overwhelm or burnout Somatic Therapy will offer stress relief. You will be gently guided and invited to move as you feel. This collaboration will calm your nervous system and guiding you into relaxation and a sense of safety.
Therapy through Life Transitions. Supports your emotional resilience and empowerment during challenging life changes.
Weak Personal Boundaries and low self esteem. These deeply held patterns and feelings can be met through body awareness and movement to improve emotional boundaries and self-assertion.
High Blood Pressure. High Blood pressure generally accompanies high levels of stress. Somatic Therapy helps to lower blood pressure by natural and simple steps.
Post-Surgery Recovery for Breast Cancer Supports healing by allowing emotions to be felt, honoured and to move through, improving mobility, well-being and reducing stiffness. Scroll down to access FREE Somatic Therapy and Yoga videos on physical and emotional healing after surgery.

Women’s Health (Pelvic Pain, Menopause). Somatic Therapy can focus on strengthening the pelvic floor to alleviate discomfort from prolapse, pelvic pain, and menopause. In doing so, a positive connection to your feminine energies and deeper trust is fostered in your body.

Free Yoga and Somatic Therapy for post-surgery recovery for Breast Cancer. These videos will support your emotional and physical healing after surgery. I have been through treatment for cancer and had a mastectomy, so I am well aware of the impact the treatment has on one’s whole being. Having any operation is a trauma for the body and losing a part of your body or having it altered leaves one with both emotional and physical pain. Based on my experience of self healing after my operation for mastectomy, I have created three videos on YouTube which are designed to take you on a healing journey back to your sense of wholeness and freedom of movement. Please follow the link below and try out these videos – start with number 1! (Yes, there is a typo on number 2). If you would like to work with me individually either on zoom or live then please be in touch using the contact page.
