An online Immersion Into Somatics & Embodied Space Holding
A 10-week online mentorship in nervous system awareness, embodiment, and trauma-informed space holding for those who guide and support others.
A 10-week live online mentorship for yoga teachers, coaches, facilitators, and space holders who want to work with the body, deeply understand the nervous system, and hold others with steadiness, strength, integrity, and embodied care.
This is a live, trauma-informed somatic mentorship focused on somatic wisdom, nervous-system awareness, embodied presence, and ethical, trauma-informed space holding.
In this mentorship you will learn a wide range of somatic tools, nervous system work, and relational knowledge to use in your spaces. This mentorship is especially for those who have done all the “work”, retreats, and trainings, but still have not found true integration and feel you’re missing something. The emphasis is on cultivating the knowledge needed to be a powerful space holder, deepening your discernment, and building embodied somatic wisdom — so you have the capacity to truly meet people where they are at, and create a space fertile for them to find their own safety.
It is about learning to recognise your own stress, safety, and survival patterns, and understanding what building capacity really means. In this work, how you hold — your knowledge, presence, practice, boundaries, and impeccable embodied awareness — sets the foundation for becoming a phenomenal space holder.
The Somatic Mentorship is a space to explore the language of the body, deepen your awareness of yourself and your practice along the way and understanding of what truly matters in this work — and translate that embodied knowledge into how you guide and support others.
Your Mentor
Somatic work transformed my life. It brought me back to my aliveness, my power, and my softness. It taught me how to live as myself, as I am. When we meet our human complexity with presence, curiosity, and compassion, we create the possibility for true intimacy — with ourselves and with others.
I’ve studied yoga extensively (E-RYT 1000+) across India, Costa Rica, and Europe, with a focus on Trauma-Informed Yoga. My training also includes the Somatic Activated Healing Method™, Somatic Therapy (Embodied Processing), and work with the Somatic Healing Institute.
I do many things, but at the heart of it all is this: I care deeply, and I support people in reclaiming connection to their bodies, their aliveness, their authenticity, and inner freedom.
“I don't even know where to start in describing how Susanna was one of the best encounters in my life. She's a wonderful teacher and a super space holder. In addition, she brings her humanity into everything she teaches & does, which is rare to find. Susanna is welcoming in the sense that she never has pretensions and expectations about people, she creates a comfortable environment in which each person can simply be themselves. Her practices are special and her somatic knowledge enriches the practice allowing you to go even deeper. There are few precious people like Susanna in the world, so if you have the opportunity to work with her don't hesitate for a moment, DO IT!”
“Working with Susanna during the Sensual Soma training was truly transformational. She holds space in a way that feels so rare and refreshing because she does it by showing up as her full, authentic self, and she gives everyone else permission to do the same. There’s something so beautiful and inspiring about learning in her presence, because as she teaches, she also reflects you back to yourself in the most loving way. Throughout the training, I felt completely supported. Susanna’s guidance is both gentle and powerful, rooted in a deep inner knowing that creates a sense of safety and trust. I never felt rushed or judged, just deeply seen and lovingly held. Her ability to meet each person where they are and honor the many ways we learn made the experience feel not only accessible, but also deeply personal and thoughtful. Susanna doesn’t just teach…she witnesses, she nourishes, and she reminds you of your own wisdom. She truly sees you, and helps you grow from exactly where you are. If you’re considering working with her, know this: Susanna is the kind of guide who helps you come home to yourself in the most loving, embodied, and empowering way. ”
“Susanna is a force of truth, courage, and deep authenticity. In her presence, you are gently guided to remember the boldest, most expansive version of who you truly are. She meets you soul-to-soul, attuned to every thought, feeling, and expression with profound compassion and wisdom. Her words alone carry a frequency that lands directly in the heart and allow for an embodied experience. She moves you through and past the "story" and into the embodiment where healing can take place. It is a true blessing to be held in her guidance. The sacred space she creates invites healing on all levels — a space where your spirit feels seen, safe, and free to awaken your true self. ”
“Susanna is a fiery, yet gentle somatic coach who’s authenticity creates a safe space where you can show up as your most vulnerable self. As a somatic coach Susanna softly transforms lives without pushing you. Her presence feels like a safety blanket under which you can explore at your own pace. Through our journey together I felt loved, seen, and heard like never before. I learned what it is to find home, safety and peace within my own body. Before our time together, I had a lot of unprocessed emotions in my body. With Susanna I learned to release them in a powerful way. The transformation didn’t happen only during our journey but the ripple effect has continued as an on-going integration process. Susanna has a powerful and very gentle way of presenting and sharing her wisdom. It is truly uplifting. Her depth of knowledge is mind blowing and yet she finds a way to put it in a simple and understandable form. The way she guides somatic movement experiences took me to meet parts of me that I’ve had forgotten or couldn’t reach by using my logical mind. I can highly recommend Susanna for anyone who’s looking for gentle, safe but powerful somatic coaching. Thank you for changing my life for forever. My appreciation and gratitude for Susanna and her work is beyond words. ❤️”
“Susanna has this amazing ability to make every inch of you, literally every part of you feel incredibly seen and heard. She lays a platform to allow you to explore yourself, your thoughts, your everything, and to feel completely safe doing it. She helped lead me toward unlocking a whole other level within myself as a teacher, woman, and human being in general. She’s like the coach who calmly and gently walks you down the diving board and has you 1,000,000% confident that you’ll jump into the perfect thing when you reach the end. Thank you Susanna for being an incredible inspiration, a phenomenal teacher, a magical space holder, an overall lovely person, and a new friend 💕 ”
“Susanna’s coaching has helped me better understand my own being and helped me better connect with my body. Susanna has been incredibly insightful in our discussions. She has a natural ability to communicate with you and thoroughly understand your situation and offer unique, in depth and useful insights. Susanna has shared with me in our coaching many practical tools. Her wealth of knowledge is invaluable!”
“Spending an intensive week with Susanna during the Sensual Soma training was a deeply transformative and nourishing experience. From the very first moment, I felt completely held, seen, and supported by her warm, motherly presence. There is something incredibly unique and grounding about the way she holds space – it’s tender, safe, and empowering all at once. Susanna carries a profound wisdom, not only about the body, anatomy, and the nervous system, but also about life itself. The way she shares her knowledge is infused with deep care, clarity, and embodiment – making it not just informative but truly alive. I left our time together feeling inspired, softened, and more connected to myself than ever before. I am endlessly grateful that our paths crossed. Susanna is a rare gem – a true guide and a radiant inspiration. With all my heart, thank you. 🤍”
“I have attended Susanna’s classes and I can say that I really have not been to any other class with such a genuine teacher who is sensing the atmosphere of the class and is fine-tunning her teaching accordingly. As a stiff Crossfitter, her classes helps me listen to body and mind without any pressure of performance.”
“I have been fortunate enough to be a student of Susanna's, as well as to have benefited from her guidance over the course of many years. Susanna holds a unique space unlike anyone else I have encountered. Her teaching style and ability to create a nurturing, safe space have profoundly impacted me over the years. She possesses extensive knowledge across various areas, and what truly resonates with me is her deep presence and commitment as a fellow learner, without professing to be flawless or have all the answers. Her authenticity, vulnerability and genuine nature deeply resonate with me. I find it immensely valuable to be led by such a relatable, loving, kind, and straightforward individual when navigating life's challenges. Her heart is immense, and I wholeheartedly recommend no one else more suitable to embark on a transformative journey with. Personally, she has brought numerous positive challenges in my life, and I know, my life is better off for our paths crossing.”

“This mentorship has been such a beautiful container for me. Learning so much about the nervous system, understanding in any sort of space you’re holding to hold it from a very body sensitive lens, understanding what’s happening in the body, having the tools to navigate what can come up in the body and what people are holding in any given situation. I think there’s so much that you get in this mentorship. There’s so much knowledge, there’s so many tools and practices you can take into your work, whatever the work is that you do. I feel like it’s an amazing place to go to for support.
Susanna is such a beautiful, grounded human being who lives this work. You can really tell she has done so much work and she knows what she’s talking about, and it comes from such a natural place of carrying that wisdom. And I love that I feel really held as a student, and I know I can really trust who’s teaching and holding the training."
- Paula
You will walk away with:
A deep, embodied understanding of the nervous system and how this knowledge gives you the tools to work with the body. As well as, the ability to recognise stress, safety, and trauma responses in your own body and in the spaces you hold.
A deep understanding of what somatic work really is, plus practical somatic tools for yourself and for those you work with & greater capacity to stay present in intensity, emotion, and complexity within yourself and others.
A grounded and deeper understanding of trauma-informed facilitation, teaching, guiding, holding & learning the art of relational safety. While building a stronger sense of self-trust, human sensitive understanding, boundaries, and embodied leadership.
This mentorship is for space holders who want to guide body-based, nervous-system-informed spaces through somatic awareness and trauma informed facilitation. For the yoga teachers, coaches, facilitators, bodyworkers, healers, and those who feel called to guide and support others.
It’s for those who have done the trainings, retreats, and practices — yet still feel like they keep coming back to the same patterns. This mentorship is the somatic way: no magic wand, no chasing… just nervous system wisdom, embodied tools, and real integration.
Through my own experience and the many trainings I've completed, I've noticed that the fundamental understanding of the nervous system and somatic body wisdom is often missing from wellness spaces, or simply not fully embodied. If you feel called to truly understand, learn, and work with the nervous system —to build a deep grounded foundation of knowledge and somatics & embodiment—then you are in the right place.
This is not about bypassing or fixing. It is about creating real space inside the body so capacity can be built and integrated.
This is not about chasing peak experiences, over-processing or "healing" to become someone else.
It is about building the capacity to be with lifes complexity and what is already here — in your body, in your emotions, in your life — so you can create transformational space for others to do the same.
I bring embodied experience in what it truly means to hold myself and to hold others through the wisdom of somatics. I've spent over a decade studying, learning, and integrating this deeply important work, and all of that knowledge and lived experience is woven into this mentorship.
I'm here to share the tools, insights, and practices that have not only genuinely supported my own integration of somatic work, but also what I see actually works and is real. With these teachings, you can do the same in your own body, life and in your offerings. Throughout this journey, I'll be supporting you fully: teaching, guiding, and holding the space in and outside of class as we move through this together.
This is a live, trauma-informed somatic mentorship, designed to truly land and be integrated — not rushed, not forced, but felt and lived.

Absolutely not, you can do this mentorship for yourself and your own knowledge, or if you are a coach, healer, bodyworker, space holder of any kind.
This training gives you the knowledge and tools to be able to integrate somatic wisdom, practices and nervous system kowledge into the spaces that you hold. We dive into how to hold ethical trauma informed spaces, with the tools to do so. This training intends to give you the knowledge all space holders in the therapuetic and healing world should have to be a transformational guide, teacher, space holder. It is the work for oneself that then ripples into ones life and work they offer.
This training values education, and is designed to build on your existing education and experience. It is not specifically designed to certify you as a teacher or space holder for the first time. It does however, provide you with life changing knowledge, tools, guidance, and embodied practices to integrate somatic principles and tools into your existing offerings. I will support and assist you in this process as well. You will receive a certificate upon completion, which can support you in further developing and offering somatic-based work.
