Running on empty? There is a way back to feeling whole, grounded and like yourself again.
Discover SomaPresence: a somatic practice that helps you reconnect with your truth and move forward from a place of trust.
SOMAPRESENCE METHOD
The living process in Motion
Somapresence is a somatic method created for women. At its heart is the pulse: that fundamental rhythm already alive in the body, in every breath, every heartbeat, every cycle. The practice awakens this pulse from within, restoring the body's own capacity to process, release and integrate what has been lived, whilst opening to what is needed now.
Rather than analysing your way forward, you shift attention toward sensation, breath and movement. As the pulse is felt and followed, held tension begins to soften. Vital energy starts to move again. And you return to a state of coherence and aliveness that was never really lost, only waiting to be felt.
Here, the body is not something to correct. It is a living, active force, always in transformation. And the pulse is its most fundamental intelligence.
The practice moves through three phases, each one an expression of this living pulse:
-
The Impulse — The pulse is awakened from the base of the spine, grounding presence in the body's living centre and igniting the force from which everything sets forth.
-
The Unfurling — The pulse radiates outward in spiral form, opening the body into living relation with the world.
-
The Integration — The pulse settles inward, allowing what has moved through you to take root in living depth.
signatures practices for nervous system renewal
SOMAPRESENCE MOVEMENT
A guided somatic movement practice that awakens the pulse of the spine and allows energy to unfurl through the body in spiral form. You learn to follow the body's own intelligence, releasing what has been held and returning to the feeling of being fully alive, fluid and at home in yourself.
SOMAPRESENCE TOUCH THERAPY
An embodied treatment that brings the Somapresence framework together with deeply attuned therapeutic touch. A session moves through the three phases of the method to guide you, gently, back to a sense of wholeness.
The woman behind Somapresence
Educator, practitioner, mother, and creator of the Somapresence Method.
Crossing cultures and moving through my own thresholds taught me early that no single map can guide a woman's unfolding. Each of us carries a truth too layered, too alive, to fit a borrowed mould. Fourteen years of movement and attuned touch later, that belief is the ground my work grows from — a deep trust in the intelligence every woman already holds.
Here, there is no model to follow. Only an invitation to come back to yourself.

Bringing Somapresence to the community.
Upya Essence is a Community Interest Company created to bring SomaPresence to the places where women already gather: community centres, charities, support groups and local organisations.
Many of the women you support are running on empty. My workshops and body-based practices are designed for groups, offering a gentle, accessible way to release stress, reconnect with the body and restore a sense of calm.
Sessions can include yoga, Longo dance and somatic movement workshops, as well as massage and wellbeing sessions. Each is grounded in the SomaPresence approach and shaped around your group, your space and your budget.
Let’s talk about what would best support the women in your community.
