Somatic Yoga with Francesca

29/11/2025

Your energy isn’t generic.
It’s the result of everything you’ve lived, felt, resisted, avoided, or held onto.

So your healing can’t be generic either.

Somatic work listens to your story, not a template.

Some people regulate through breath.
Others through sound or music.
Others through guided imagery.
Others through touch, movement, or grounding tools like crystals or textures.

The method doesn’t matter as much as the match.
We use whatever helps your nervous system feel safe enough to release what it’s been holding.

After more than 20 years of experience guiding others through healing, embodiment, and transformation,

I realised that every process, no matter the story, the trauma, or the symptom,

always comes back to four essential guides.

🌿 Self-Responsibility — reclaiming your power to grow instead of staying in the same story.
🌿 Authenticity — remembering who you are beneath all the layers that helped you survive.
🌿 Self-Compassion — meeting the parts of you that were born in fear with radical love.
🌿 Self-Acceptance — softening control, embracing your shadows, and allowing yourself to be whole.

These four principles are the foundation of my somatic work

a synthesis of everything I’ve learned across decades of training, practice, and life experience.

Every person I’ve worked with has been missing one (or more) of these guides.

And when we find which one it is,

that’s where the transformation begins.

Your heart isn’t just pumping blood, it’s broadcasting information.

Its electromagnetic field is so strong that it affects your own nervous system *and* the people around you.

That’s why you can feel when someone walks into a room stressed…

or why being around calm people makes your body soften.

Your heart is constantly communicating, even when you say nothing.

Somatic work helps you understand the signals you’re sending

and how to shift them intentionally instead of unconsciously.

The tight chest.
The heavy shoulders.
The buzzing anxiety.
The calm after a deep breath.

Somatic work helps you work directly with that energy so it can settle instead of staying stuck.

Healing is just the process of letting your energy reorganise itself.

24/11/2025

If everything is energy, then every tension, emotion, and pattern in your body is energy too.

Somatic work helps you work with that energy instead of fighting it.

It teaches your system how to release, soften, and come back into coherence.

It’s not mystical, it’s how your nervous system resets.

Not sure if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been posting more lately! 😅

It’s been fun (and a bit of a learning curve).

What kind of posts do you enjoy most? Anything you want me to share more of?

The SAAS Method:

🌿 Self-Responsibility — choosing to step out of old stories and actually move toward the growth you want.

🌿 Authenticity — reconnecting with the real you underneath all the roles and habits that helped you survive.

🌿 Self-Compassion — meeting the parts of you that feel scared, overwhelmed, or tired with softness instead of judgment.

🌿 Self-Acceptance — letting go of the need to control everything and allowing yourself to be fully, messily human.

These four pieces are at the center of my somatic work.

They’re a mix of everything I’ve learned, practiced, and lived over the last 20 years.

Every person I’ve worked with is usually missing one of these.

Once we figure out which one it is… things start shifting fast.

This post is just a simple way of sharing the heart of that method,

the part that’s shaped me the most, both personally and professionally.

If this speaks to you and you want to explore how SAAS can support your own healing or regulation,

you can always DM me for a discovery call or a 1:1 somatic session.

Your body already knows what it needs.

We just help you listen.

We’re so focused on improving ourselves that we forget the simplest truth:

your body doesn’t need fixing, it needs you!

Somatic work brings you back to the self you left behind when life became more about surviving than actually living.

And that’s where things finally start to feel like you again.

11/11/2025

You already know what to do.
But your body doesn’t always feel like doing it.

You want to exercise.

Create.

Speak your truth.

Rest without guilt.

Love without fear.

But sometimes something inside just… freezes.

It’s not laziness. It’s not lack of motivation.

It’s your body trying to keep you safe.

Your mind has learned the lesson, but your nervous system hasn’t caught up yet.

Somatic work helps your body remember that it’s safe to move forward.

Safe to grow.

Safe to rest.

Safe to love again.

Because real change doesn’t happen in the mind alone.

It happens when your body finally feels ready to live what you already know.
