What is somatic movement?
Somatic movement is a sacred listening and an invitation to meet your body from the inside-out. A gateway into the soft unraveling of the stories, imprints, and memories held within your cells, some that may have formed during your pre-verbal experiences or carried to you across your ancestral lines.
Through these gentle, embodied practices, we open a portal into the body’s innate intelligence and allow what has been stored or silenced to rise, to speak, and to be witnessed with compassion.
In somatic movement, even your pain and discomfort become pathways. Signals from your body’s deep wisdom asking to be witnessed and felt. We learn to stay present with difficult sensations, to listen to our intuition rather than override, and to trust the subtle language of the body.
Somatics remind us that the body is not an object, but a conscious, living being, pulsing with wisdom, creativity, and possibility. As we reawaken this inner connection, we begin to move not from habit, but from truth and aliveness.
My facilitation
I believe that awakening is an embodied experience, and the body is the gateway to the infinite. I receive inspiration through my experience of living in deep relationality with the land and in communion with her animate forces. I hold space from this place, allowing the land and her animacy to pour through me. She guides, I listen.
The body is just part of the great body of the earth. It is through our exploration of the body in its finite form that we are able to ground divinity itself within us. From this place, we can then traverse out and experience ourselves as the infinite beings that we all are. At one with the very cosmos.I artfully craft spaces and offer practices that have supported and nourished me on my own healing. Our bodies are the alter where the prayer of dance can emerge, and the portals of pleasure and pain can be opened.
In the current climate of so much widespread suffering and violence, I know more than ever these spaces of infinite possibility are needed to support us all in remembering our unity as one body of the earth, as ultimate creators, and as liberated, integrated beings of the dark and the light. We all come from ancient lineages where dance and sound were collective technologies for liberation, connection, expression and digestion of experience.
I offer regular group somatic sessions at the Colos Wellness Centre in the Alentejo, Portugal where I live.

If you have a particular transition, ending, new beginning or undigested experience you would like to work through your body, please contact me and we can explore this together.
"Beware – this retreat may change your life! Descent & Alchemy had such an impact on mine, still watching the seeds of change sprouting in bewilderment. The retreat was prepared with so much love and care by Nina and Lozzy, who were thoughtful of how deep the Innana myth begs us to descend and thus the safety it requires. I felt held by the extremely well curated group of women doing their journey alongside mine, gently guided by our hostesses.
Monte da Orada is a magical place, a sanctuary of peace and natural beauty, spiritual in every sense: the perfect nest for the descent and the perfect inspiration for the alchemical process to unfold naturally, slowly, softly, following the rhythm of nature and of beautiful music played live by skilful musicians during some practices. Mind, body and spirit left replenished and empowered."
