Your body speaks.
Support that goes to the root. Together we map out a clear process so you can inhabit your body again with more balance.
“Your body speaks. Through symptoms, emotions and patterns it shows you the changes that are already asking to be tended to.”
…you feel aches or tension that keep coming back.
…you live in a constant state of alert or stress.
…you want to address imbalances at the root.
How we work
Why a somatic approach?
It cares about resolving what got frozen in the body. Sometimes we don’t need to talk it through, analyse it or “understand” it: we need the body to complete the experience it never had.
The “no” that was never said, the scream stuck in the throat, the boundary that was never set, the body that froze instead of running: it needs to complete its movement. That’s when the fascia lets go, the exhale happens, and the body finally says:
“I survived. I’m safe.”
What a session is like
We meet once a week. We begin by working on nervous system regulation and coming back to the body, weaving in gentle, mindful movement, meditation and somatic practices.
For your session
Voices from the process
“We’ve almost completed a year of somatic work together, and today I realised how much my life has changed.
A year ago I was practically paralysed by fatigue, and now I see that I’ve learned to listen to my body and not push myself so hard.
I feel the work we’ve done to regulate my nervous system has been a hugely important part of my process.
At first I was afraid to start because sometimes I didn’t understand what we were doing, but I noticed that after the sessions I felt calmer. Little by little I discovered that I don’t always need to understand everything with my mind to experience change.
The movement and breathing exercises helped me so much to get out of the mental loop. I felt I could recover, come back to my centre and be myself again.
It has been discovering another way of listening to myself, caring for myself and living. Thank you so much for everything we’ve worked on together and for the way you’ve walked with me. Endless thanks for everything.”
“I came to you with symptoms that, after many tests, nobody could find an answer for. Luckily I found you, and from the very first session I felt I had come to the right place.
Becoming aware of myself and my body, and knowing there is another way of healing through plants, nature and movement, resonated with me deeply.
Managing to regulate my menstrual cycle with herbal teas, food, movement, breathing and self-awareness is what has helped me most so far to live a more balanced life in every sense, and the symptoms that had no answer gradually disappeared. That’s why I’m so grateful: if it weren’t for you, I would most likely still be in the same place.
Thank you for all your dedication and your time, for helping me get to know my body and recognise what it needs, and for taking other people’s lives seriously.”
“My situation before was very complex. Through what you taught me, I learned to self-regulate through movement, and also with herbs and tips to improve my digestion. This was literally a lifeline: you helped me first to understand what was happening to me and then to regulate it. I will be forever grateful.”
“Thank you for opening a channel in me of self-observation and awareness of my body. Now I’m completely into it and want to keep learning more.”
“Thank you so much, Mina, for walking with me — I value it so much. I feel less afraid to eat.”
“I loved the format of the sessions — very personal and focused on what I needed. Beyond the focus on food, I learned so much about following my menstrual cycle and noticed a big change.”

How it works
The body needs continuity in order to change. That’s why I work closely with you: each session builds on what happened in the last one, so we can notice what’s shifting and adjust the plan in time.
