Liberation is a practice, and it begins in the body.
When we meet our trauma with reverence for its protective function, learn to find safety in our bodies once more, and befriend fear, we loosen the grip of patterns shaped by personal and systemic conditions. In that, we reveal our power, reclaim our fullest expression, and find the freedom that has always lived in our choices."

That is where we begin
"Somatics engages our thinking, feeling, sensing and moving Self, so we can repair from trauma, unwind survival patterns, find wholeness, and access aliveness. It does much more than helps us understand what happened to us and why we are as we are. It lets us know how to live, choose, be, and act differently. It lets us get better at loving and being loved, at generating safety, at taking bold purposeful action. It's a way of being aligned with what we most care about - even under the same old pressures"

Centering: Guided Somatic Practice
Cultivate somatic awareness to shift from survival to connection, anchoring in what matters to you as a counterforce to trauma’s constraints.
Hi, I'm Zeena.
Somatic Therapist, Writer.
Trauma fractures us, but it also holds the seeds of profound change—a gift, in many ways. I found in somatics what I once sought elsewhere—an embodied path to relationship, expression, and liberation, both personal and collective. I now dedicate my life to care, to building a culture where safety, dignity, and belonging are not ideals but ways of being, and to reminding you of your wholeness and sovereignty—beyond protective strategies and in defiance of oppressive systems.

I send a monthly letter. I share in it what I'm personally integrating, and I ask questions. Many write me back, and it just feels we're slowly breaking free from the capitalistic frenzy to sell something and instead building a relationship. Building a community of shared values.
A few words from clients
I always say this isn't a modality it's a way of being. And because of that, it takes time. Not because healing is arduous, but because, like any relationship, it requires the willingness to be your own friend.
Yes, so much will be resolved. Yes, you can get off meds, rediscover aliveness, become less reactive, access pleasure, grieve, and find a beautiful flow to your life. But that's not my promise. My promise is this: you'll learn a relationship with yourself for life, rooted in the knowing that your body is not broken. Without exception. From there, everything is possible.
While I bring my training and experience, it's the commitment these women brought that makes it. I learned this early on: don't see people for their problems. See them for their persevering resilience. That steady gaze of faith in their capacity is often the greatest gift I can offer.
