Now more than ever, what we need is 

embodied, attuned, and empathic presence.

 

Our very essence is woven from connection - the innate desire to co-regulate, co-heal, and co-explore life's journey. Yet, many of us experienced a rupture in our earliest years, a lack of the attunement we needed as infants. This absence has contributed to a culture & life that often feels disconnected and disembodied.

We have the opportunity to change that together through somatics. 

Through somatics, as we fine-tune our bodies into exquisitely sensitive instruments, we access the freedom to simply feel and fully embrace our authentic selves, moment by moment. 

The term "Soma" rooted in Greek, means the subjective experience of the body. Somatics is a home coming dedicated to a profound exploration of understanding ourselves through the body's language.

Somatics is not a practice to learn, it is a re-connection to who we are as human beings. 

By tuning into the felt sense, we venture into a space rich with sensations, emotions, and intricate narratives that our nervous systems relay. Through this immersion, we access our body's profound wisdom, unlocking truths that lie beneath the surface of cognitive recognition.

THE TRAINING IS BASED ON 

The 3 Fundamental Pillars

 

Somatic Safety

is about nurturing a deep, loving connection with ourselves through the body. Somatic Safety in short is feeling safe to feel.

Learning the skills that cultivate a felt sense of somatic safety is akin to learning how to wrap ourselves in a cocoon of understanding and warmth. This core pillar of somatics is steeped in harnessing our embodied presence and tender attentiveness, empowering us to hold a sacred space for both our complexities and those of others. As we cultivate this deeply loving and grounded relationship with our inner selves, it paves the way for an unwavering trust, ensuring we can harmoniously navigate the full spectrum of emotions & sensations that we experience.

Attunement

Through our embodied attunement, we touch the lives of those around us with felt empathy, co-regulation, sensing, spaciousness, love, and deep listening. We learn to embody the somatic skills to offer oneself as a nurturing holding field for others to explore and feel the overlooked parts of themselves stored within their bodies. Attunement to oneself is how we attune to others, so we focus on creating a strong foundation of feeling and connecting to our own sensation, through breath, touch, sound & movement; as a way to cultivate attunement to others.

Titration: Slowing down

Within our somatics training, we prioritize the power of slowing down. Through this deliberate deceleration, we recalibrate our nervous system and cultivate a profound sense of bodily safety. Central to this is the practice of titration, which fine-tunes our nervous system's responses, ensuring a gentle and measured emotional journey. Where trauma can be overwhelming, titration emerges as its soothing counterbalance. More than just a technique, titration supports a broader paradigm shift, inviting a renewed approach to living, being, relating, and coaching. In contrast to our fast-paced culture, it places emphasis on time, rest, and presence in all life's facets, suggesting that slowing down is not just beneficial but essential. By embracing this philosophy as a lifestyle we start to feel ourselves, others & life in a new way- A way that feels deeply natural and connected.

Empowerment Coach & business owner

 

"Since learning the foundations of somatics with Maanee my life, health, and business have undergone remarkable transformations, but two changes stand out: I've found a profound sense of safety within myself and gained clarity on how my trauma has affected me, allowing me to recognize and work through triggers.

In my pursuit of helping women, my commitment to teaching somatics has become unwavering. These practices have made an incredible difference in my life, and I'm passionate about sharing their benefits with others. Everyone should have the opportunity to learn and embrace somatics in their journey to well-being"

ALYSIA 

YOGA TEACHER &  Reiki practitioner

"After years deep in the "Mommy" stage, I felt disconnected from my changed body and lacked passion in my work. I started training in Somatic work with Maanee to improve my health and life, and soon, it gave me the confidence to teach again, understand my body, and self-regulate my nervous system.

This understanding allowed me to step out of my comfort zone and take calculated risks, altering my life course to co-owning a yoga studio and establishing a wellness practice.

I'm calmer, more grounded, and able to identify whether my reactions are self-created stories or present-moment responses. Through healing the mind-body split, I've adopted a daily practice that continues to heal my body and spirit. Getting in touch with your present moment and somatic self can change your life in unimaginable ways."

 

Aurelia

yoga movement teacher

"Before discovering this program, I encountered physically and mentally challenging events unlike anything I'd experienced before. I was already living the lifestyle I wanted, but was in search of something to consolidate my skills, elevate my energy and self-flow, and enhance my capacity to hold space for myself and others. Through learning the foundations of somatics I've gained clarity about what truly matters to me, how to navigate turbulent times & how to hold space for others in a safe way. 

From this work, I am now proud of my courage to authentically be myself, even when it's messy. I've learnt that my instincts and gut feelings aren't mere imagination but a manifestation of body intelligence is a major achievement. The teachings of somatics with Maanee are powerful yet gently unfolding like a flower gradually opening its petals, have left a lasting, beautiful, and somewhat poetic impact. This transformative experience will be a part of me for the rest of my life."

Somatics is essential for coaches, therapists, facilitators & healers

Somatics is a powerful tool for professionals because it speaks to the body & the nervous system. This more holistic approach which resonates much more deeply with clients. Somatics decodes the unspoken emotional narratives, bridging gaps where words might fail and cultivating long lasting therapeutic change. Clients who felt stuck before discover beautiful insights and feel a space for new change.

Because if we can't feel, we can't fully integrate. 

Somatics is essential for our ourselves & relationships

Modern life often drives a disconnect between ourselves and our deepest feelings. This can lead to an endless (and exhausting) quest for fulfilment and safety in the external world - in relationships, careers, achievements, and material wealth. But without self-connection, the enduring sense of safety and belonging never takes root. 

By learning to pause, feel inwardly, and attune to our somatic experiences, we foster a deep intimacy with self. This connection ensures an enduring sense of freedom and safety, opening oneself to a sense of home, no matter what.
