THE SOMATIC SLOWDOWN

My life has unfolded across many places growing up between Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bangladesh, and the UK, with India woven through my life for more than thirty years. Each place taught me something different about healing, resilience, and what it really means to feel at home in yourself. I’ve lived in over 50 homes to date which has certainly made me draw on the wisdom of what the body needs to feel grounded.

For over three decades, I’ve been exploring the healing arts: yoga, meditation, aromatherapy, the Lineage of the Seven Rays, and Aroma Point Therapy. These were never separate studies for me, but living threads that belong together. Each one revealed another way the body speaks, and another way spirit moves through everyday life.

Over time, my work has become less about methods and more about listening to the nervous system, to the breath, to the body’s own quiet, practical wisdom. I bring these teachings into modern life in ways that feel grounded, trauma-aware, and human.

I support people to reconnect with their own rhythm, to soften back into their bodies, and to remember what safety and presence can feel like from the inside. There’s no forcing here, no fixing just gentle attention, patience, and trust.

I founded The Somatic Soul School in order to meet the need we have to pay attention to what the body is asking for when the nervous system is constantly triggered into flight, fight, fawn and freeze. This is my offering back sharing all I’ve learned along the way. I hope that it serves a more regulated society because when we are able to regulate, expand, retreat in healthy ways we can enjoy life more and support the ones we love around us too. It may seem small but the impact resounds out amongst our communities.
