𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨, 𝐈’𝐦 𝐆𝐚𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚
A somatic healing guide, women’s embodiment coach, mentor, and educator.
I guide women to meet the parts of themselves that carry pain, protection, and history — and to stay with them long enough for something real to unfold.
Each of us carries our own story, and often the stories that came before us.
The work I offer is trauma- and shame-informed, and rooted in creating spaces where you can meet yourself, and the stories of your body with honesty, care, and curiosity.
At the same time, I hold an awareness of the wider systems we live inside. The ways we are shaped by what we are taught to be, how we are taught to relate, and how easily we can be moved away from ourselves and from each other.
Part of this work is gently recognizing those patterns.
The ones that create distance.
The ones that keep us comparing, performing, or competing.
The spaces I hold are grounded in inclusion and non-judgment. My work is rooted in values that stand against racism, sexism, misogyny, and ableism, and support a way of being that allows for more honesty, more dignity, and more connection.
My approach weaves together somatic work, nervous system awareness, breathwork, movement, and parts work, all held within a deep respect for the intelligence of the body.
Through this work, many women begin to recognize the strategies that once helped them survive, and are still shaping how they live, relate, and respond.
With time and support, there is more space inside those patterns.
More choice.
More contact with what feels true.
Over the years, my work has been shaped through a wide range of trainings, studies, and lived experiences.
What I offer is not built on a single method, but on an ongoing relationship with the body, with learning, and with the people I work with.
I have been walking alongside people for over a decade.
Across these years, I have worked with nearly 2,000 individuals in both private and group spaces, in many different corners of the world.
My work has taken me into places of deep need and deep resilience — supporting communities in shelters, schools, and orphanages, as well as holding spaces in wellness centers, retreats, and festivals.
I have facilitated workshops, classes, and community events, and guided 14 retreats, along with a women’s wisdom and wellbeing festival. Again and again, I find myself drawn to spaces where something real can happen — where people can soften, open, and return to themselves.
My training is rooted in somatic and trauma-informed approaches, with ongoing studies in nervous system regulation, embodiment, and women’s work. I continue to deepen through both formal education and lived practice.
Some of the lineages and trainings that shape my work include:
• Somatic and trauma-informed approaches influenced by the work of Peter Levine, Diane Poole Heller, Linda Thai and Arielle Schwartz
• Women’s trauma and polyvagal-informed work
• Somatic embodiment and nervous system regulation
• Movement-based and expressive practices
• Breathwork, meditation, and deep rest practices
Alongside this, I hold certifications and trainings across coaching, bodywork, sound, and energy-based practices, which I weave in gently where they support the process.
I am currently continuing my studies in trauma-informed yoga and clinical somatic movement.
This work continues to evolve with me.

It’s a simple, relaxed conversation where we can meet, hear a little about what is present for you, and sense whether this work feels like a good fit.
You don’t need to prepare anything.
There is no pressure to decide or move forward.
We take a bit of time, we talk, we listen.
