Somatic Exploration Journeys
1:1 body-based, nervous system-led Somatic Coaching for the Soft, Sensitive + Self-Aware Woman
Embodied support for women navigating self-doubt, anxiety and life changes - helping you trust your pace and way of being instead of forcing yourself to fit the world.
You’re in the right place if…
You’ve done some therapy or personal development work, but still feel like something’s stuck in your body.
You have an idea of your patterns, but:
self-doubt overwhelms you from taking steps forward
a sense of density or resistance feels frozen under the surface
comparison leaves you feeling behind
it doesn’t feel safe to truly slow down or relax
You might be navigating:
ongoing anxiety, stress or overwhelm
uncertainty in yourself and your abilities
life or career transitions
burnout or fluctuating capacity
difficulty translating what you know into how you live/be
the tension of being sensitive, gentle, or feeling different in a hyper-productive, fast-paced world
There’s only so much you can think your way to change.
Your body (aka your nervous system) also needs to be included in this process.
This is where this work comes in!
So, what is a Somatic Exploration Journey?
It’s a body-led, nervous-system based, and nature-inspired Somatic Coaching support.
Unlike traditional talk therapy, we don’t stay in the story or context for the entire session.
Instead, in these 1:1 sessions, we:
build your nervous system’s capacity to be present, hold and process distress or overwhelm
step away from the analytical mind and into the body and your direct felt sense experience
slow down, notice and feel bodily sensations and emotions
work with sensation, feelings, instincts, intuition, images, memories (nothing is ever too ‘weird’ that comes up 🦄)
move towards, explore and feel what feels stuck or causing you stress (we don’t bypass the emotions or sensations)
allow time for completion and integration within the body
This is somatic, embodiment work where we work with your direct, lived experience in your body.
Not from a place of ‘fixing’ or digging to find past stuff.
Instead, we follow and work with what feels ready to emerge and be met/felt.
Nothing is prescriptive; everything is always invitational.
In Somatic work, we work a little differently to normal talk therapy/coaching.
This work is slow and spacious, to give your body enough space and stability to rewire and reorganise.
If you’re wanting a ‘quick fix’, the way I work probably isn’t for you.
This is an exploration and journey into your inner landscape. Where magic can happen, if we allow for curiousity, slowness, stability and spaciousness.
Multiple sessions are needed for deep, embodied change to be felt.
Somatic Coaching can support:
anxiety
navigating stress and overwhelm
riding the ebbs and flows of life more easefully
life/career transitions
building tolerance and capacity for uncertainty, doubt and challenge
deeper compassion and connection with self
authentic expression
confidence, inner strength and self empowerment
deeper trust in nature and the magic + mystery of life
““To say that working with Rhi has changed my life would probably be an understatement. She is an absolutely incredible human being - so kind, compassionate and open. She brought things out of me that I would never have thought possible. Together we have started on this most incredible journey that will eventually lead me home to myself, and I couldn't ask for a better person to be by my side along the way.”
— Sarah, UK
This work is for the women who…
🌱 Feels deeply and knows there’s more beneath the surface and is ready to explore what’s beyond the “mind”
🌱 Feels and senses her emotions and experiences deeply, and wants support to learn how to meet them, and fully trust and work with them
🌱 Knows she’s capable, but wants to move through life with more ease, embodied self-trust, congruence, and playfulness
🌱 Feel like she’s at a crossroads or threshold, but needing some confidence and grounding to move forwards
🌱 Values depth and gentleness over intensity and force, and is open to working with her body, not just talking about her experiences
🌱 Is ready for gentle unfolding that supports deep, embodied integration and welcomes more aliveness, flow, and raw humanness into her life
“Rhi is a wonderfully warm and intuitive somatic practitioner and guided me into a very supportive somatic journey. I was able to access deep emotions that had felt stuck for some time and helped to me to access more clarity. Rhi's style is authentic and supportive and she leads her sessions with integrity.”
— Jannette, AUS
What you can expect over time with this work…
☀️ A more accepting and compassionate relationship with stress, self-doubt, uncomfortable emotions and uncertainty
☀️ More spaciousness and capacity to feel joy, ease, confidence, and embracing your weirdness
☀️ Deeper trust in your body’s cues, your cyclical energy and pace, and process in riding the waves of life
☀️ More able to access stability (nervous system regulation), even when life feels chaotic, messy or uncertain
☀️ A deeper sense of wholeness, connection, and trust with yourself, your relationships, nature and life itself
This isn’t about becoming someone you’re not or ‘fixing’ you.
It’s building your capacity and uncovering parts of you that have been hidden away. So you can live as yourself, not who you’ve been told to be.
“I really enjoyed working together with you as my coach. From the first session I felt like I could trust you,I felt safe to be me and so I was able to be vulnerable and open in my journey. Your words and non verbal communication and your spiritual energy has been a good match for me. The sessions were free and flowing and the energy I felt through and at the end of each session as I progressed through the program was that of acceptance and empowerment.”
— Ivana, UK
Practical Details
-
Somatics, at its core, is a return to the present moment and reconnecting to your body’s experience; not conceptually, but experientially as a lived experience.
You’ve probably noticed it—that tightness in your chest, a lump in your throat, a heaviness that won’t shift, a memory that flashes back, the feeling like something is weighing you down.
These feelings, sensations, images, and instincts are your body’s way of communicating with you.
Somatic Coaching helps you unravel what’s beneath those sensations and hear what your body is trying to say.
Somatic work is a remembering of our humanness, that our bodies are wise and mystical and know exactly how to heal and thrive (without our thoughts or conditioning getting in the way). Somatics is a weaving back into this natural intelligence and web of life.
Rather than staying in the mind or overanalyzing the story/challenge you’re bringing, Somatic Coaching gently invites you to slow down and listen to your body’s cues.
I’ve written a longer article about Somatics and Somatic Coaching - you can have a read of it here.
-
Every session is different, as it depends on what is alive and present for you and where your body wants to take us.
Somatics is a moment to moment process, where your body takes the lead in taking us where it wants to go.
Our sessions will likely have elements of:
Attuning and orienting to the present moment and your felt sense (feelings, sensations, images, impulses, instincts)
Co-creating the right conditions for your body’s natural intelligence to come online to explore, and somatically process undigested life experiences
Following your body’s lead
Allowing spaciousness for noticing, pausing, integration (‘awkward’ silences are part of the process)
Optional Reiki healing or Bush Flower Essences for extra energetic support (at an additional cost)
-
Navigating feeling burned out, anxious or stressed around work or career
Feeling lost in life and reconnecting with who you are and what makes you feel alive
Connecting to your intuition and your body’s wisdom
Building self trust and inner self confidence
Unravelling the feeling of being triggered or activated by a past situation/challenge
Reconnecting to your inner rhythms and cycles, living in connection with nature and feeling more grounded
Unwinding from urgency and hustle culture
Unburdening the feeling of shame of your pace of life or feeling behind in life
Processing past hurts, so you can feel more confident in being your true, authentic self
-
A single session can give you relief and insight - but deeper nervous system shifts needs spaciousness and ongoing support.
Somatic work works in layers, and each session builds on the last.
Depending on what you’re navigating, I generally recommend beginning with 3-6 sessions, spaced fortnightly to begin noticing subtle shifts in your life.
From there, we can adjust the frequency and flow based on what feels supportive for you and where you are at.
This work is slow, intentional, and body-led - which means we honour right pacing, rather than rushing the process.

We can also customise a package that suits your needs during your Introductory Call.
How the Journey works…
Somatic Exploration Journey sessions are 1:1 containers designed for regular, ongoing sessions.
Sessions are 75-90minutes and held online.
This work unfolds over time, not over one session. Nervous system capacity and reorganising builds gradually through consistency, relational depth and stabilisation.
My Approach:
People often describe my approach as gentle, soft, down-to-earth and warm. I take an intuitive, holistic, personalised approach where each session is different and we work with what arises in the present moment; reconnecting you to nature’s way where everything unfolds in its own time. My approach is guided by my training in yin yoga, Somatics, holistic counselling and life coaching, and Reiki energy healing.
Next Steps:
1 / On the fence or need a vibe check? Book a free Connection Call - to get a feel for me, ask questions, and see if working together feels like the right fit.
2 / If it's a full-body ‘Yes’ - book an Introductory Somatic Exploration Journey session, this is the cracking of the surface into our work together - exploring what you've been moving through, what you’re longing for, and laying the foundation for the deeper journey ahead.
About Rhi
I’m someone who’s always felt things deeply - emotions, subtle shifts. For a long time, I thought that made me “too sensitive” or “too emotional”. But over time, I’ve come to see it as one of my greatest strengths.
My work as a Somatic Space Holder and Reiki Master, is shaped by this sensitivity, as my subtle strength. I’m a deep listener who’s intuitive yet present and grounded in reality.
I like to bridge the mystical, nature, witchy and spirituality realm with the practical - weaving together the softness of yin, the ability to zoom out and see the bigger picture to navigate modern life in a more attuned, gentle way.
My work draws from 5 years of experience and training in somatic coaching, life coaching, meditation, yin yoga, sacred space holding, Reiki, and Australian Bush Flower Essences.
But more than that, it’s shaped by my lived experience. I know what it’s like to move through cycles of burnout, anxiety, impostor syndrome, feeling/being a bit different, and taking the unconventional path in life.
I hold space for women who are navigating transitional or tender seasons, not because they’re lost, but because they’re ready to live more fully. Those who are ready to cultivate inner steadiness, and move forwards with more presence and deeper trust in themselves and life itself.
