Participant Reflection:

“I loved it all. Having recovered from cancer and had years of consecutive trauma, I found somatic yoga online. But to be in a live session and learning was really helpful. I used to dance so I believe in the power of the body to heal. And being trapped in a fight, flight freeze response can be debilitating, so learning to be, feel safe is paramount. The session was clear and unrushed.”

This is why reading about nervous system healing isn’t enough.

Your body needs new experiences of safety, not just new ideas.

Inside My Somatic Embodiment Community, we will practice these tools gently, slowly, and consistently so your system can integrate them without overwhelm.

Doors open on 23rd December for monthly movement, with a coaching upgrade launching in March.

Come learn to regulate from the inside out. 🤍

Somatic Embodiment — it’s an invitation to move beyond the mind and into the wisdom of your body and heart.

Somatic Embodiment is a deeply nourishing class where, through intuitive movement, somatics and slow down, we gently support:
• nervous system & emotional regulation
• inner safety, joy, and wholeness
• mind-body symptoms healing

Each class is different and guided by what the body needs in the moment. Practices may include somatic healing, intuitive movement, yoga nidra and restorative yoga, mindfulness, breathwork, tai chi, and mind–body vagus nerve practices — all offered in a trauma-informed, accessible, and inclusive way.

This work is deeply personal to me.
Somatic embodiment has been one of the most sacred spaces in my own life — a place to allow, heal, love, and rewire. It supported me in healing mind–body symptoms and learning to trust my body as a source of wisdom rather than something to fix or push.

This class is for anyone seeking a safe community space to move with stillness — especially if you’re navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, chronic pain, chronic illness, fatigue, long covid, emotional overwhelm, or simply longing for permission to slow down.

Come as you are.
Move how your body asks.
Let your nervous system lead 🤍

✨ Monthly Online Somatic Embodiment - Starting 23rd December - 7pm.

My journey of healing fibromyalgia and over 20 other health symptoms began with a desire to ease pain and improve my health — but over time, it became so much more.

It became a journey of coming home to myself — learning to listen deeply, trust my heart, and live in alignment with who I truly am.

Through somatic practices and nervous system regulation, I found a freedom that went far beyond symptom relief. Authenticity became a central part of this process — a journey into the wisdom of my heart through inquiry, expression, and self-discovery.

This is what inspired me to create the Somatic & Creative Art Workshop with Lisa Bloome — a space where movement, expression, and creativity meet nervous system healing and authenticity. A space to explore, feel, and reconnect with your body’s wisdom through art and somatic release.

If you feel there’s little room for creativity in your life, this workshop will gently guide you back to your Ventral State — the place of safety, social connection, and creative flow. It’s not about artistic skill — it’s about showing up for yourself in a new, embodied way.

If this speaks to you, I invite you to check the full workshop details and save your spot while the Early Bird price is still available.

I'm bring my signature Somatic Nervous System Reset Course to in October.

A 4-Week Journey to Regulation, Resilience & Relief!

This course is designed to help you gently retrain your nervous system using somatic healing and the vagus nerve power, to give your body and mind the chance to return to balance, rest and resilience.

Why This Matters:
Many chronic symptoms—physical or emotional—are linked to a dysregulated nervous system. When the body is stuck in fight-or-flight or freeze, its ability to rest, digest and repair is compromised. This course gives you the knowledge and tools to start to shift from survival into safety, presence, and vitality by using the wisdom of the body.

📆 Dates & Times: 14 Oct, 21 Oct, 4 Nov & 18 Nov (7–8:30pm)
📍 In-Person at The OM-azing Studio, Manor Farm, Weston-on-the-Green (Bicester),
💻Or online (one spot left)
💰 Early Bird: £99 until 16 Sept (£115 after)
Includes weekly practices and workbook.

What to Expect & Benefits:

Each session blends nervous system education, gentle somatic practices with vagus nerve tools, and space for reflection and integration in a supportive group.

Along the way, you’ll gain:

✨ Understand why chronic symptoms linger, and find a somatic path to relief
✨ Calm and regulate your nervous system for more balance and ease in life
✨ Use vagus nerve techniques to support recovery from burnout, anxiety, fatigue, chronic pain, and illness
✨ Apply simple somatic tools anytime to ease symptoms and restore calm and safety in the body
✨ Recognise how unresolved trauma, chronic stress, and emotions impact your body and learn how to gently release them

In case you don't know me... I'm a Mind-Body Practitioner and Somatic Coach for chronic pain and illness. My mission is shaped by my personal recovery after several years of living with fibromyalgia, anxiety, and chronic health issues. I integrate my background in biomedical sciences, mind-body medicine, and nervous system regulation to help others gain their life back from pain and illness.

🌿 How to work with me 🌿

I'm an Integrative Mind-Body Practitioner and I’m here to guide you toward lasting freedom from chronic pain and health symptoms. After my own healing journey with fibromyalgia, I'm dedicating my life to helping others overcome pain and thrive.

✨ What I Offer ✨
💛 Tailored 1:1 sessions

💛 Yoga and mindful movement classes
💛 Bespoke courses and workshops

🔍 Mind-Body Symptoms
If you’re dealing with chronic pain, fatigue, anxiety, or other persistent symptoms, the root cause might lie in unresolved or perceived stress (threats), unprocessed emotions or hypervigilance personality traits, leading to a dysregulated nervous system -> chronic symptoms!

Together, we’ll uncover the cause, reprogram your brain and beliefs, regulate your emotions and nervous system and work toward recovery and freedom.

Hi! I’m Sara, an Integrative Mind-Body Practitioner specialising in chronic pain and persisting health symptoms. My wellness journey began 10 years ago after being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. Through my healing process, I became a Yoga Teacher, Reiki Practitioner, and Mindfulness CBT coach, and eventually focused more on somatic healing and mind-body syndrome practices.

Meditation is my non-negotiable daily practice, grounding me in life and supporting my personal growth. Mindfulness is integrated in all aspects of my teachings 💫

Having personally healed my chronic pain and long-lasting anxiety, my mission is to help others find lasting freedom from pain and life’s struggles by combining both scientific and holistic methods. I graduated in Biomedical Sciences back in Portugal, and that is why science as much as holistic approaches are close to my heart.

In case you haven't noticed, I love travelling 🌍 and my little ginger boy 😻

What reasons do you give to ensure you put yourself at the bottom of the list? Too tired? No time? Can't afford it?

A longevity study into 'reasons people can't' showed that whilst all of the above may be true in some ways, the deciding factor in things actually happening was how much we prioritise them. So when we say, I have no time, are we really saying, 'I don't prioritise that for my time?'

When it comes to self care, what are your needs? How are you meeting them? How are you prioritising them?

Sometimes we need to immerse ourselves in deeper nourishment and Autumn is the ideal time to slow down and fall into ourselves a little more.

Join us next month for our Reconnect - Release - Receive retreat day. Full details here:
