Hi, I'm Rachael
Trauma-Informed 500hr E-RYT Yoga Teacher, Certified SOEA Feminine Embodiment Coach & Somatic Educator
I've spent over a decade immersed in the world of somatics, cultivating a deep understanding of the body-mind connection and the transformative power it holds.
​
Why am I here?
​
I was thrown head first into grief at a young age. I was left confused, disempowered, and disembodied. Like many of you who have experienced trauma, grief, and overwhlem, I adopted a belief that the world is not a safe place. I was living in survival; reactive, scared, and disconnected.
At the age of 19 I was introduced to the world of somatics at university, and have since explored many pathways and tools to find my way back to myself over and over again, including; yoga, meditation, breathwork, dance and somatic practice, talk therapies, and embodiment work.
My path in yoga and somatics began as a personal exploration, a quest to uncover the hidden wisdom that resides within each of us. Through years of dedicated practice, study, and self-discovery, I've come to embrace the fundamental belief that the answers we seek already exist within us. My role, as I see it, is to serve as a facilitator, a guide who empowers you to tap into your innate wisdom and truly listen to the whispers of your body and soul.
​
Coming into connection with the body can lead to profound healing.
​
My approach is centered around embodiment – the art of fully inhabiting and experiencing your body in the present moment. Through personalised guidance, and tailored practices, I empower you to cultivate a profound connection with yourself, fostering self-awareness, emotional resilience, and a deep sense of inner peace.
With a decade of hands-on experience in the field of somatics, I've honed my skills as a compassionate teacher and space holder. My journey has encompassed in-depth studies in yoga, movement, and somatic practices, allowing me to curate a unique blend of ancient wisdom and modern insights. This fusion equips me with the tools to help you navigate through the layers of your being, facilitating a harmonious alignment of body, mind, and spirit.
