Hello, my name is Diana.
I believe the freer we feel with our emotions, our truths and our body, the more we can live a life of authenticity, power and aliveness.
Reconnecting to that freedom can be experienced through receiving attuned touch, embodied compassionate listening and intentional movement practice in a safe therapeutic relationship.
What I offer, I have personally spent years delving into to anchor myself as a highly sensitive person in a busy world. I have a deep desire to support you to stand in your embodied ease and power and I hope to have the opportunity to journey alongside you.
Reclaim your authentic expression, reconnect to your body, ease your stress and support your sensitivity with somatic therapy
Perhaps you have often been told you are “too sensitive” and as a result often feel like you are “too much” in your emotions, needs or how you respond to situations. Many clients who find their way to my practice are Highly Sensitive People (HSPs), whether they realise it or not (you can take a test here!), and the body-oriented work we explore can offer much relief and support.
Or perhaps you are going through a significant life transition, find setting boundaries challenging, or are feeling triggered in personal or professional relationships. You might feel disconnected from your body or emotions, or experience chronic stress, insomnia, fatigue, emotion or pain in your body that does not seem to go away. If so, what I offer might be for you. You do not need to bear this alone. Through somatic therapy either in person or online, you will be supported to return to a place of greater ease.
The right fit is so important for therapeutic work, so I welcome you to schedule a complimentary 15min exploration call together above to see if what I offer is for you.
Gain insight, clarity and alignment with somatic coaching
If you are in the midst of a transition, feeling stuck or wanting to shift old habits that are no longer serving you, somatic coaching might be for you. We combine the power of the mind, along with the rich wisdom of the body to bring about sustained shifts in your life to move you closer towards what really matters to you in your life.
Enliven your body and voice through TRE, qigong or vibrational alchemy
Movement can help us reconnect to our body’s innate sense of aliveness and wholeness. If you might be feeling stuck, TRE is a powerful way to tap into our body’s in-built system of reconnecting, releasing and rewiring old patterns of gripping and holding to bring a sense of inner freedom. Or perhaps if you’re finding regular meditation practice or quieting the mind challenging, qigong and somatic meditation offer a blend of mindful movement and gentle guidance which practised over time can help soothe the nervous system and strengthen body awareness.
At other times, you might feel fatigued with your inner journey and are looking for a space where you can have a reboot and be replenished. Or you might be desiring more alignment between what your heart feels and your authentic expression. Vibrational alchemy sessions, which can be either more restorative resonance rebalancing or more active vocal re-awakening, might be for you.
Kind words from clients:
“I can’t express enough how grateful I am to work with Diana on my life journey of healing and growth. She has a welcoming presence, holds amazing ground, and always facilitates a session through exploration. I have been doing somatic coaching and touch therapy with her for over a year, and I have gained so many insights, deepened awareness, somatic tools, and built my mind-body connection, sense of safety and groundedness within myself.”
“I had a really positive experience with somatic therapy. What stood out the most was the emphasis on the body’s reactions, allowing me to gain new insights into my own emotions and reactions. I now feel more equipped to read these cues and navigate situations that may be uncomfortable or challenging. Diana was great at picking up on subtle cues and asked questions that helped me open up, creating a space where I felt comfortable expressing myself. The therapy room provided a warm, safe, and comfortable environment. ”
“What stood out for me during my somatic therapy sessions with Diana was the way we combined the needs of the body and the mind. It led to moments of deep healing and allowed me to nurture a stronger connection with myself. I truly felt heard and seen in her presence, which gave me a safe space to be vulnerable and open so that we could work through some of my concerns that arose. ”
“The sessions have been abundantly helpful in bringing me into greater communion with my body. You’ve helped bring awareness to and even redirect some of my lived day to day tendencies and emotional trap-pools. The care has been transparent and the holding- gentle. My body has received a lot of softness in your presence. Thank you.”
“I am deeply thankful that my somatic therapy journey started with Diana. She held up a mirror for me to see clearly the complexities of my trauma and most importantly, she gave me a space where all my emotions are honoured and validated. After several sessions, I feel more equipped emotionally to encounter my past pain. I always leave the sessions knowing that I am healing and I am okay.”
“I highly recommend working with Diana, she is an inspiring somatic coach and a beautiful soul. The space she offers feels sacred and safe...She has guided me through challenging times...Not only do I feel happier again, but I feel much more confident and connected to myself than ever before. ”
“The coaching with Diana over the past weeks has helped me a lot. I regained a lot of clarity, and most importantly I feel more connected to myself and others again. It was a beautiful journey letting my body discover what makes me feel alive, what my borders and needs are and the abundance of life and my body.”
“Somatic coaching sessions with Diana have been really insightful for me. She helped me gain awareness of how my body responds and reacts to situations and people. She also provided me a safe space to share my deepest thoughts, yet always asking questions at the right time for me to think and consider what really matters...I now feel more grounded than before.”
“The one thing I kept feeling throughout the TRE session, was that this is life-changing. I’ve done other kinds of bodywork, but I don’t think any of them gave me such clarity. I felt acceptance and that all is okay. Nothing is wrong and nothing is wrong with me. It is an experience I highly recommend and she is so nurturing, holding a safe space for connections and deep conversations with your inner being. ”
“Elemental QiFlow is a beautiful, gentle, profound practice. As a newcomer to qigong, this class has been a wonderful window into another realm of movement and awareness. Diana is a wonderful practitioner-teacher; she holds a loving, welcoming, curiosity-encouraging space...Her encouragement and guidance are invaluable to my ongoing journey of embodiment. ”
