Gentle sessions designed to help the body release tension and restore balance.

All sessions are slow, mindful, and suitable for beginners. They are designed for modern bodies shaped by stress, sitting, injury, or fatigue. My approach is trauma-aware and informed by somatic practices that help the nervous system settle and the body release chronic tension. No flexibility or experience is required.

Reconnect With Your Body

In a world of constant doing, this is your space to simply be. These sessions invite you to slow down, listen inward, and rebuild a calm, supportive relationship with your body.

A Gentle, Trauma-Aware Approach

My work is informed by trauma-aware principles and the understanding that the body holds experiences as well as memories.

Sessions emphasise safety, choice, and self-awareness.
You are always encouraged to move at your own pace and to listen to what feels right for your body.

My approach draws inspiration from the work of somatic pioneers such as Peter Levine, Thomas Hanna, and Bessel van der Kolk, whose research explores the relationship between the nervous system, the body, and healing.
There is no pressure to perform, stretch deeply, or push beyond your comfort.
The intention is simple: to create a calm space where the body can gradually release tension and rediscover its natural balance.

Not sure where to begin?

Somatic Release is a wonderful starting point for most people.
You are welcome to begin gently and explore what feels right for your body.

PAUSE. SENSE. BREATHE

These hips once danced.
These hips once ran wild under moonlight.
These hips once trembled with fear.
Now they call for rhythm.
Not performance, but presence.
Let them move again.
Let them weep.
Let them open.
The root has always known the way home.
From The Soma Awakens by Lala Menen

Lala showed me how to cultivate somatic awareness. My life feels like a sacred experience as I have learned to take regular pauses to sit in stillness and silence in which I remember and trust my inner healing power

Reconnecting to the Body

I have had all kinds of diagnoses for my shoulder and elbow pain, but nothing helped. A friend recommended I try Lala’s sessions. She helped to understand the cause of my pain. I discovered that using my mouse all day and the posture I adopt when sitting at my desk has caused a habitual pattern in my body which hurt Lala’s work has been almost miraculous. Lala has helped me feel more connected to my body, and live pain free

Somatic Ease at the Desk

I was troubled by my restless mind which would make up stories about things that had never happened. Yoga Nidra meditation with Lala really helped me to reign in and still my mind. I am already seeing the changes to my relationships because of it.

Post-Surgery Healing

After years of feelings of disassociation and not being able to sleep along with many other stress related symptoms, I decided to try something new. Somatic work was different, after my very first session, I finally had a good night’s sleep. I am gradually rebuilding my wellness, and I hope to get back to work again very soon.
