Your Somatic Journey

A compassionate, body-centred somatic journey that unfolds in its own time, gently supporting nervous system regulation and guiding you toward deeper calm, emotional steadiness, and a naturally growing sense of joy.

Somatic Journeying is a gentle return to yourself — to the wisdom of your body, the compassion of your heart, and the wholeness that has always lived beneath the noise.

Just as a butterfly transforms in the hidden safety of its cocoon, somatic journeying invites you into the quiet, sacred spaces within where true change unfolds. Gently, organically, and in its own time.

At the heart of Your Journey to Wholeness is a simple, unwavering belief:

We are not broken — we are remembering.

Is Somatic Journeying for me?

A gentle, embodied journey to reconnect with your wholeness, nurture inner strength, and step into a more joyful, grounded, and authentic life.

Somatic Journeying is likely to be a supportive path for you if you feel called to explore any of the following, even if you’re unsure where to begin:

  • Longing to reconnect with a sense of wholeness and completeness within

  • Wanting to live with greater authenticity, joy, and ease, rather than fear, contraction, or conditioning

  • Desiring to feel safer, more grounded, and more at home in your body

  • Seeking to cultivate self-love, self-trust, and emotional resilience

  • Needing a compassionate space to process stress, overwhelm, or heavy emotions

  • Feeling ready to gently explore old patterns, emotional blocks, or limiting beliefs

  • Curious to meet your inner parts — such as the inner child, protectors, or shadow — with kindness and care

  • Feeling drawn to an approach to manifestation that is embodied, grounded, and trauma-informed.

If you feel the pull to one or more of these areas and are seeking lasting, embodied change rather than a quick fix, your body is already inviting you forward.

The Journey: Four Stages of Inner Safety & Expansion

A non-linear, heart-led path that honours your timing, cultivates inner safety, and opens space for deeper embodiment and expansion

Every session meets you exactly where you are. Some clients spend several sessions building safety, while others arrive with strong regulation and work primarily on integration or manifestation. All paths are welcome.

Finding Safety

Grounding, Softening & Resourcing

This is where reconnection begins.

Growing Capacity

Expanding Inner Strength & Self-Holding

This is where you start learning to compassionately stay with yourself — through anything.

Meeting & Integrating What Has Been Hidden

This is where profound transformation emerges: through gentle meeting of parts of us that used to live in the shadows.

I’m Michaela. I gently guide clients through a range of somatic techniques, helping them find embodied wholeness and a deeper sense of inner peace, freedom and aliveness.

I create a safe, empowering, trauma-informed space where your body’s intelligence is invited to speak, your inner landscapes can be gently explored, and your path to integration and self-trust unfolds at your own pace.

Through my work, I support you in integrating disowned parts, releasing what no longer serves, and reclaiming a grounded, alive, and authentic presence — all within a compassionate, curious, and deeply respectful environment.

Testimonials

  • “As a therapist myself, I hold exceptionally high standards and Michaela exceeds every one of them. Her presence is soothing, grounded, and deeply attuned.

This makes the whole process very gentle.”
