Ways to Work With Me
This work supports reconnection to your breath, your body, and the inner truth that often goes quiet under stress, trauma, or long-held protective patterns.
A body-first, relational approach to healing - integrating breath, the soma and parts-based therapy — grounded in nervous-system awareness, and paced with care.
How I Work
My approach is body-first and relational. I don’t work with the breath in isolation, but in relationship with the nervous system, sensation, emotion, and lived experience.
My practice is trauma-informed and shaped by what is present — not by rigid protocol. The focus is on creating the conditions where healing can emerge naturally:
Safety and nervous-system stabilisation before depth
Consent and choice throughout
Pacing that honours capacity and readiness
Integration as central, not optional
Attention to how the work lands in real life, and not just in-session
Depth at Your Pace
We only go as deep as your system is ready for. Readiness guides everything - the rhythm of the breath, the intensity of the process, and how much we explore in any given session.
MOVE TO BREATHWORK SECTION: - Sessions often begin simply - with breath awareness, sensing, and strengthening of internal safety. From there, the work deepens naturally as your systems learns to regulate itself and becomes ready for a deeper and more surrendered experience.
The emphasis always remains the same: safety, pacing, and integration over intensity.
Some sessions are subtle and quiet. Others are more cathartic. Both are valid. What matters is that the depth matches your system, and not an expectation.

Ways We Can Work Together
Group Sessions
Integration Support
One-to-one work is the heart of Somaaya. Rather than offering separate “services,” I weave different doorways into the same integrated process — always guided by nervous-system readiness and what your system is asking for.
Group spaces are held with the same principles: consent, pacing, nervous-system care, and integration support beyond the session.
Integration is a core part of this work — especially when experiences are intense, expansive, or difficult to place.
Within 1:1 sessions, this may include:
Breath-led sessions that support regulation, release, and deeper self-connection
Somatic therapy and inquiry, tracking sensation, impulse, emotion, and breath as they arise
IFS-informed inner parts work, meeting protective patterns with tenderness rather than force
Integration support, helping insights and emotional material settle into everyday life
This work is long-term change oriented: less about peak experiences, more about capacity, clarity, and a safer relationship with yourself.
Group work is offered when appropriate and may include:
Group breathwork journeys
Holotropic-style sessions (held carefully and with preparation + integration)
Workshops and retreats (when available)
I offer grounded support for:
Emotional integration (after strong emotional processes or life transitions)
Non-ordinary state integration (from breathwork, meditation, retreat experiences)
Psychedelic / plant medicine integration (supporting meaning-making and embodiment)
This work does not involve the facilitation or provision of substances. The focus is on helping what you’ve experienced land safely in the body, make sense over time, and translate into lived change.
Clients come with different intentions, but many describe similar shifts over time — not dramatic “before and after” moments, but meaningful changes that continue to unfold.
People commonly share:
feeling safe, held, and supported throughout the process
a sense of being more grounded, present, and resourced
increased ability to meet emotions without overwhelm
a deepening trust in their body, breath, and inner process
integration that continues in the days and weeks after sessions
A gentle note: Individual experiences vary. This work does not promise specific outcomes. Depth unfolds in relationship to each person’s readiness and nervous-system capacity.
How to Begin
We start with a 30-minute conversation (£30) — a simple space to meet, sense what you’re needing, and explore whether working together feels supportive.
It’s relational and unpressured. If it’s a fit, we’ll decide the most appropriate next step based on your system, your intention, and what feels sustainable.
