This small, powerful collection of practices is your first step into the world of somatic healing, a gentle, body-based approach that helps you reconnect with yourself from the inside out. Somatic work teaches the nervous system how to soften, release, and return to safety through movement, breath, sensation, and mindful awareness. It bridges the gap between mind and body, reminding you that healing isn’t just a thought process, it’s a felt experience.
The Somatic Recovery Mini Programme is offered on a pay-what-you-can basis because everyone deserves access to healing, regardless of circumstance. This gentle, heart-led course helps you reconnect with your body, calm your nervous system, and feel safe in moments of stress or overwhelm.
Flexible pricing allows you to give what feels fair, making this first step into somatic healing accessible to all, while honouring both your resources and the spirit of the work. The sliding scale £7 – £20
Somatic work teaches the nervous system how to regulate, soften, and return to safety through movement, breath, sensation, and mindful awareness.

While somatic movement alone may not lead to significant weight loss, it can serve as a valuable addition to your regular fitness regimen by impacting metabolism positively. Contrary to popular belief, weight loss is as much a mental challenge as it is a physical one. Somatic exercise plays a vital role in keeping cortisol levels in check by reducing stress, enhancing sleep quality, and supporting mental well-being. By addressing these factors, somatic exercise can prevent emotional eating, which is often triggered by high cortisol levels, and consequently promote healthy weight management.
The theory is that cortisol ‘the stress hormone’, when elevated are a known contributor to weight gain, particularly in the abdomen, and yoga, in general, reduces cortisol levels. So, it may not matter so much what style of yoga you are doing, so long as you are reducing stress while you’re at it.
Somatic exercises enhance the understanding of the connection between emotions and physical well-being, facilitating effective therapeutic outcomes. Research supports the efficacy of somatic approaches, such as somatic experiencing in treating PTSD and aiding emotional adaptation in challenging situations.
Through an introspective journey known as the somatic journey, you can uncover aspects of your life, such as belief patterns, that may be contributing to poor health and inadequate coping mechanisms in stressful situations. We emphasise that mental health needs can vary or each individual. Therefore we advise that you seek guidance from a mental health professional before starting any new health regime. Somatic therapies are not a replacement for orthodox medicines and approaches.
Yes this most certainly is! The exercises provided are designed to support physical, mental and emotional needs in all people.
This is a tricky one… Please seek advice from a medical professional if you need clarification. The ‘Somatic Yoga Therapy’ program offers various approaches. These are designed to help heal the body and aid in pain reduction. Sometimes we ask for you to increase the intensity of the movement so as to re-enforce the ‘brain-to-muscle’ connection. You can therefore reduce the intensity to suit your current needs.
You can choose to skip specific videos if they make you uncomfortable. Additionally, you can incorporate props like chairs to modify the exercises and make them more suitable for your needs.
The Somatic Recovery Mini Programme is a soft doorway into this work — a heart-led, nurturing introduction that helps you feel safe, present, and gently reconnected to your body. It offers tender, soulful practices that soothe the mind, calm the nervous system, and invite you back into yourself with simplicity and warmth. Think of it as a gentle hand on your back, guiding you toward inner safety and emotional clarity.
