A gentle introduction

What makes this course different

Unlike many meditation courses, this journey is somatic-first and rooted in the felt sense, not thought. It's trauma-informed and paced gently for freeze and shutdown, using body-based approaches including breath, movement and sensation. A Somatic Journey into Meditation is live and relational, held in real time, with care and shame-free. There's no pressure to perform or “get it right.” You don’t need meditation experience, you don’t need to feel ready. All you need is a little curiosity.

​

This course is especially supportive if you feel numb, disconnected or “far away” from yourself. You’re high-functioning but quietly struggling, living in freeze, burnout or shutdown. Maybe you’ve tried meditation and felt overwhelmed or frustrated, or struggle to feel your body or emotions. You're looking for a gentler, safer way to reconnect, as a sensitive, deep feeler who is easily overstimulated. If meditation hasn’t worked for you before, it’s not because you failed, it’s because your nervous system wasn’t being considered.

If you’ve ever thought “I just can’t meditate”

This course was created for you

A Somatic Journey Into Meditation is a live, trauma-aware course designed for women who feel numb, overwhelmed, burnt out, or disconnected from themselves, and who have struggled with traditional meditation approaches. This is not about clearing your mind, sitting still, or doing it “right”. It’s about learning how to meet your body where it is, and letting presence emerge naturally, without force.

What's included

Everything is designed to fit gently into your life, even during low-energy seasons.

What we'll explore together

Each week builds slowly and intentionally, creating the conditions for safety, presence and reconnection

Why Rest Feels Hard: Survival states, nervous system patterns, and how to create safety in stillness.

​

Regulation Through Connection: Co-regulation, rhythm, and breath-based restoration.
 

Feeling Without Flooding: Meeting emotion somatically, staying with what arises until it softens.

​​

Working With The Mind: From content to context: how to relate to thoughts with presence.
 

Awareness and Presence: Discovering what is already here beneath effort.
 

Integration & Living Meditation: Bringing presence into movement, relationships, and daily life.

​

By the end of the journey, many participants experience more presence and internal steadiness, less numbing, bracing or shutdown, increased emotional range without overwhelm. As well as a softer relationship with themselves, greater trust in their body and a meditation practice that finally feels accessible.

Somatic wisdom for awakening, healing and aliveness

I’m Laura, an integrative somatic therapist who lived for years in functional freeze without knowing it. Meditation once felt impossible for me. I couldn’t feel my breath, my body, or myself. Learning somatic, body-led approaches changed my relationship with meditation, and with life. This course was created for those people who need a gentler way in. A way that honours the nervous system and meets you where you are.
