Somatic Experiencing, Voice Work & Movement with Laura Valenti

03/03/2025

Another morning as a clown.
In just a couple of days, I'll be heading back to Spain.

For the first time in over 20 years, I've built a connection with meaningful activities here in Italy, where my roots are. So when I return, I'll have something to look forward to—putting on the red nose in hospitals, associations with elders, and organizations supporting people with different abilities.

Right now, what matters most is nurturing what brings me joy. xx

🚨 URGENT: Tabitha Needs Help to Keep Her Home 🚨
We’re halfway to the goal, but time is running out.

Tabitha has been bedridden for months, battling PTSD, severe exhaustion, and now a persistent eye infection that needs medical attention. She can’t work right now, and I’m deeply worried she might lose her home.

She has no family to turn to, and without support, she could end up homeless. What she needs most is stability and time to heal—but she can’t do it alone.
We just need one final push! If you can help, even a small amount makes a difference. If you can’t donate, please share this...reaching the right people could change everything for her.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Final Opportunity: 5 Complimentary Somatic Therapy Sessions Left for 2024 👇

⛅️As the days grow shorter and the year winds down, many of us feel the weight of winter—a slowing down, a longing for connection, or perhaps a stirring of old emotions seeking release. These seasonal shifts can amplify the need for grounding, support and clarity.

‼️I’m offering the last 5 complimentary somatic therapy sessions of 2024 (no strings attached), designed to help you:

❤️Ease emotional overwhelm by gently releasing "frozen" feelings stored in your nervous system.
❤️Reclaim your energy and vitality by addressing patterns of stress, self-doubt, or stagnation.
❤️Navigate transitions with resilience as you uncover a deeper sense of self-trust and balance.
❤️Counteract winter blues by reconnecting with your body’s innate wisdom and tapping into your inner strength.

💐Somatic work is transformative, offering a safe and supportive container to process stuck emotions, rekindle your sense of purpose, and rediscover your joy.

⚡️If this resonates, I encourage you to book one of these final sessions:-) I look forward to connecting with you soon.

⚡️Please book before the end of Nov (sessions can be taken any time).

Hello dear ones,

𝐈’𝐦 𝐰𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐨𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲 𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.

Since you're part of this community, I know you’re already attuned to personal growth, self-awareness, and the wisdom of our bodies.

These sessions are an invitation to dive deeper into that journey—an opportunity for profound personal growth and self-discovery, especially during times of change. They’re uniquely designed to offer support that matters during the perimenopausal and menopausal years, including:

🌱 Relieving Stress and Restoring Calm
Somatic practices help balance the nervous system, reducing mood swings and easing stress levels.

🌀 Alleviating Emotional Ups and Downs
Body-centered techniques help process emotions amplified during this time, from irritation to grief, bringing clarity and stability.

🌿 Reconnecting with Your Body
Somatic work fosters grounding and belonging in your body, helping to soothe discomfort and rekindle a nurturing self-relationship.

🔄 Navigating Life Shifts and Self-Rediscovery
This time of life can prompt us to reassess purpose, priorities, and connection. Somatic sessions create a space to pause, listen in, and realign with what’s truly meaningful to you.

Each session we share is a blend of Somatic Experiencing, Movement Medicine, EFT, and voice therapy, all personalized to your needs. This ensures our time together is focused on what matters most to you.

Many women have found these sessions to be a powerful space to be heard and validated, especially around midlife challenges. Feedback has highlighted how this space supports exploring this transitional phase—including emotional shifts, relationship dynamics, and self-acceptance.

These sessions are genuinely pitch-free; they’re a way to offer you insights, tools, and renewed energy. I know life can feel heavy this time of year, and setting aside time for yourself is no small thing. Winter blues, the fatigue of menopause, health challenges, or even a new stage of life can all make it harder to find time for yourself or reach out for help. Carving out moments for renewal is both essential and hard-earned.

I’ve seen firsthand how transformative somatic work can be, and I believe everyone deserves access to support, especially during times of change. Offering these sessions as gifts allows me to share this work with those who may benefit most, without any obligation or strings attached.

Last but not least, these sessions are also an enriching way for me to connect with readers like you on a personal level. Your experiences and stories inform my work, helping me grow in my own journey and gain a richer understanding of the unique paths we each navigate.

Since I only offer these gift sessions two or three times a year, this will be the last opportunity in 2024. I still have a limited number of sessions available, so I’d love to hold space for you if this resonates.

Please book by December 1st to secure your spot.

Warmly,
Laura

Dear friends close and far,
I hope you and your families are well and in good health.
I would like to ask a personal favour to those of you who know me, maybe have benefited from my work and are heartbroken by the genocide.
My friend Youssef is displaced in Gaza. He and his family, children included live in a tent and have lost everything.
Prices are going to the stars and everything is very expensive.
They are literally starving.
Youssef is a strong brave man and his physical and mental health is at stake. He needs to be able to support his family.
I know there are many fundraisers out there....but if you have a moment to spare also a little donation will make a difference for his family.
I have been speaking to Youssef since March and I am touched by his kindness.
Thank you for your love in action ❤️

Hello dear ones!
I hope this finds you well :-)
I just sent out a love letter today, have a look if you wish!
With love,
Laura

I hope this message finds you well and that you are navigating the ever-changing rhythms of life. Today, I wanted to share some reflections and a little about what I've been up to. Last week, I ventured into the mountains. Once I left the village behind me and reached the wilderness, I felt the land...

I just sent out my latest love letter: Embracing Inner Fire In Times Of Collective Grief❤️
Have a look if you wish and let me know how it lands!
With love,

Last year I had the pleasure to interview my dear friend and colleague Petra Bongartz of the Earth!
She is offering soon again her programme Becoming Kin, which we explored a bit in our informal chat. Take some time to have a look if you wish!
If you want to explore your connection with movement, your body and the body of the Earth and the Web of Life this live course may be for you!
