In each session, we dive deep into the transformative power of breath, inviting you to connect with your body and release stagnant energy.

Polyvagal theory informs our understanding of the mind-body connection, empowering you to regulate your nervous system and find a sense of safety and calm.

When life feels… A LOT

The festive season can be magical — and it can also feel overwhelming, triggering, lonely, chaotic or just A LOT.

And with that in mind I decided to create and share When It Gets A Lot: gentle somatic practices, meditations and explorations to help you come back to yourself when your body and nervous system feel full.

💛 Originally part of the Coming Home program, now opened to the wider community.
💛 3 months access — move at your own pace
💛 €33

This is not a program. There’s no “should” here. Only a safe space to soften, regulate, and return to your own ground.
Give yourself or a loved one a true gift, one of self-love, presence and nourishment. One of coming back to your true home: your heart and your body.

Embrace Your Inner Creator

Every one of us carries a creative pulse.
A quiet, ancient rhythm that lives in the body long before it becomes a thought.
Creativity isn’t something you “do.”
It’s something you remember.
It’s something you return to.

It reveals itself in the small, sacred moments of living:
• The way you stop to admire the geometry of a leaf
• The words that spill out of you when you’re honest
• The way your body moves when you stop performing and start listening
• The immersion of a book that feels like a doorway
• The tenderness of tending to a garden
• The instinct to make your home feel like a sanctuary
• The presence that turns cooking into a ritual
• The way you dress when you’re not trying to impress, only to express

But we often lose this natural flow.
We chase perfection, rush toward the final result, or try to get everything “right.”
And in that rush, the nervous system tightens.
The body closes.
Creativity retreats.

Somatics and Polyvagal wisdom remind us of something simple and profound:
Creativity is a state of being — not a performance.

It blooms in safety, in connection, in presence.
In the ventral vagal state where the body feels open, grounded, receptive.
From there, creativity becomes a living thing again — effortless, intuitive, true.

This is the essence of Soma Groove.

Movement that softens the armor.
Breath that opens the inner gates.
Embodiment that brings you home to the creative intelligence already living inside you.

What creative expression is calling you back this year?

If you want to begin the new year differently — with more depth, more expression, more aliveness — there are many paths we can walk together:
retreats, group sessions, 1:1s, and online programs, may this be your landing.
— the link in my bio has everything.
Your next chapter begins in your body.
And it begins now.

🌕 FULL MOON GROOVE — Supermoon in Gemini
Thursday • 7–9 PM • Cristaland Dome, Lagos

This Thursday we gather under a Moon we’ll only see again in 2042 — the final Supermoon of the decade.
A Cold Supermoon rising higher, brighter, closer than we’ve felt in nearly 20 years: a powerful celestial moment.

And this time, the Moon sits in Gemini — making its energy sharp, clear, undeniable.
Expect:
• sudden realizations
• mental breakthroughs
• truth surfacing
• clarity around decisions
• important conversations that matter

This Moon isn’t gentle.
It’s a mirror.
It shows what your soul can no longer carry:
habits draining your energy, patterns blocking your growth, emotions you’ve hidden away, cycles you’re meant to release.

Under this Moon, something ends.
Something clears.
Something reveals — so you can finally set yourself free.

FULL MOON GROOVE is a somatic ritual: movement, breath, embodiment, release — under the lunar light.
But not under a cold sky. We gather inside the magical dome of Cristaland.
A warm fire burning inside. Soft shelter around us.
Sacred container. Safety. Depth. Heart. Body. Soul.

Thursday | 7–9 PM | Cristaland Dome, Lagos
Come as you are.
Leave lighter, clearer, more aligned.

Sign up now- link in bio.
Limited spots — the Moon (and the fire) wait for no one.

Soma Groove • This Saturday • 11:30 AM
Salema Ecocamp

This weekend, we gather again.
To breathe, to move, to soften…
to return to the body as a place of truth.

Soma Groove is not a dance class.
It’s a remembering.
A space where your emotions can move, your edges can melt,
and your inner wisdom can finally speak.

We move through layers —
from the mind into the body,
from contraction into expression,
from “holding it together” into “letting it move through.”

Expect depth.
Expect release.
Expect play.
Expect the version of you that’s been waiting beneath the noise.

If you’ve been feeling disconnected, overwhelmed, tight,
or craving a space to breathe and be held…
this is your invitation.

Saturday • 11:30 AM

Open-level • All bodies welcome

As we move toward the end of the year… how do you want to feel?
How do you want to arrive in these last weeks — grounded, expressed, connected, more YOU?

Our final Soma Groove sessions, ceremonies and gatherings of 2025 are now open, and this is your invitation to step into movement, community and a deeper relationship with your body before the year closes.

From somatic dance journeys to grounding rituals, breathwork, embodiment practices and spaces to release, soften and reconnect — every session is an invitation to end this year in honesty, presence and celebration.

Whether you’re craving connection, wanting to move through what the year has held, or simply longing for a moment of truth inside your body… you’re welcome here.

Check the full calendar, choose what your body needs, and come move with us.
Let’s close this year intentionally, together.

t’s so beautiful to witness what moves through the space of a session —
what unfolds when we have time to slow down, to devote ourselves completely to what’s present,
to see it, to feel it, to let it reveal itself… and to take it from there.

In our 1:1 Sessions, we create that kind of space — safe, guided, and deeply human.
A space where the body leads the way,
where softness, truth, and emotional capacity begin to grow… and where the mind is invited to gently come along.

This is the journey of healing —
of remembering what it means to become whole,
to slowly and compassionately embrace all of you.

Ultimately, it’s not about any method.
It’s about presence, attunement, kindness, and intuition —
the simple, sacred art of coming home to yourself.

✨ I’m opening 4 new spaces for 1:1 clients ✨
Sessions are available online or in person in the Algarve.
You can begin with a free 15-min exploratory call to feel if this work is for you.

Comment “HEAL” to get all the info directly to you❤️

Thank you dear for being the receiver here ❤️

I love coming back to this beautiful magical place — surrounded by nature where everything invites us to slow down, breathe and simply be.

Here we are held and supported to dive deep within ourselves…
to meet what’s true, to feel what’s ready to be felt but also to dive into joy, laughter and aliveness.

To surrender to Soma Groove is to (re)discover what embodiment really is —
coming home to the body, the truth and the simple happiness of being alive.

Join me for the next Soma Groove session and experience it for yourself.

This saturday, Nov 1st at 11:30 am

SOMA GROOVE — this Thursday (23 Oct) | 19h–21h | Cristaland

After weeks of traveling and holding retreats, it feels so good to be back home at Cristaland in Lagos — this magical land where we’ve been moving, breathing and transforming together for over 2 years now. 🌿

So much has happened in this space… so many emotions moved, hearts opened, bodies remembered their freedom again. Every session has its own pulse, its own soul — and this one will be no different.

Soma Groove is not a dance class — it’s a journey through movement, breath, music and emotion.
A space to move however your body needs, to release what’s ready to go, and to reconnect with what’s true inside.

And since I’ll be offering fewer sessions for a while, each one feels even more special — a rare opportunity to meet yourself and the collective in this moving ritual of presence.

If you feel the call — come.
If you’ve been before — you already know the magic that happens here.

📍Cristaland
🕒 Thursday 23 Oct | 19h–21h
💫 Open to all — no experience needed.

Although drop-ins are available, pre-sign up is very appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

What a gift to be invited into this beautiful retreat with Welsh, Scottish, and UK women…

A group of women on a journey to come home to themselves — to feel empowered, to step fully into their own skin, their power, their truth, their light.

It was such an honor to come in and close their journey, to hold space for the integration of everything they had lived and felt these past few days. And what a joy to be received with so much openness, laughter, and love — like a “crazy stranger” who suddenly felt like family 💛

We ended the day as sisters — open hearts, shining eyes, grounded wisdom flowing through the room. I can’t wait to cross paths with these souls again.
It always amazes me how these beautiful women (with beautiful make up when we met) somehow look and feel more beautiful after the journey. How somehow runny mascara doesn’t matter, how the inner glow outshines the best highlighter…

A deep thank you to for trusting me, for creating such a needed container, and for inviting me to share my magic with this incredible group. Something tells me we’ll meet again ❤️🙏

Back home 🌙
Still landing, still integrating after the desert.

This journey was so much more than I could have ever imagined — humbling, expansive, ancient, and deeply powerful.
I received and downloaded so much… layers of truth, wisdom, silence, and remembrance that are still unfolding through me.

It feels like a big step — one that shifted something within me forever — and I’m giving myself time to rest, to let it all settle, to listen.

This week I’m slowly coming back — replying to messages, reconnecting with my 1:1 clients, and gently stepping back into facilitation, I’ll be guiding two Soma Groove sessions in two beautiful international retreats — one in the Algarve and another in Costa da Caparica — sharing my medicine with more souls, across new landscapes.

For now, I’m honoring the pace of integration… moving softly, staying close to the whispers of the desert still echoing within me.

🤍
