EMBODIED

​​Circles

In the woodlands, indoors, and online...

Coming into connection with others, and coming home to the body together.

 

​These circles are a return.

A return to the body.

A return to connection.

A return to nature.

​

They are a safe space to breath, to move, to be present, and to experience the tender medicine of being witnessed. Of being seen and heard with compassion, and without judgement.

​

I hold trauma-informed spaces for women's, and for all gender - embodied circles - in woodland settings, in nurturing indoor spaces, and online for those who prefer to connect from home or live abroad.

​

Each space is an invitation to slow down, feel more, and make space for honest presence with yourself, others, and the moment as it is.

​

You are a human being... And these spaces as with all my work... Honour your humanness.​​

WHAT MAKES THESE CIRCLES

Special?

​​Facilitated by a Trauma-Informed Somatic Coach

I bring deep coaching presence and attunement, without turning the circle into a group coaching session or workshop. These spaces are held with quiet precision, and gentle guidance for somatic inquiry, group reflection and heartfelt sharing . I hold space for your nervous system, for real human emotion, and for what's often unspoken. One of the biggest parts of my role here is to anchor the space with steadiness, compassion, and clarity, so you can engage in the circle of connection as deeply or as gently as your system allows.

​​

Somatic & Embodied

These gatherings are not just a talking circle. They are not just emotional or mental, they don't live in the head. We include the body. Movement, breath, sound, sensation, and touch are welcome... and often lead the way... You are invited to listen, feel and attune to what's alive in your body. That alone can be profound.

​​

A Space for Presence & Honouring Your Timing

You don't have to speak or open if you don't want to. When someone does, they are met not managed. Witnessed not fixed. Heard, without judgement. There is no push towards transformation, but when the body is met with kindness, safety and presence, something always begins to shift. Even in stillness.

​

Guided by Theme, Rooted in Being

Each circle orients around a central thoughtful theme or inquiry, something tender, real and relevant to the human experience.  These aren't structured like workshops, or outcome-driven spaces.

Instead they offer a soft arc of reflection and embodied exploration, inviting you to connect to and ground in your own truth in connection with others. 

​

Real Connection, Rooted in Safety.

Many of us long to feel safe and embodied with self, and with others again. To trust ourselves in connection. These circles foster voice and expression, and support building relational safety, slowly and tenderly. With choice, respect, and care at every turn. They are a place to soften your guard, to hear and be heard, to be fully human, and to experience that being together can feel safe again.​

​​

A NOTE ON

Depth & Scope

While these circle can bring deep insight and connection, they are not a replacement for somatic coaching, therapy, or other long-term healing containers - where deep-dive somatic, emotional, mental, and spiritual work takes place. 

They are more like a drop-in return to the present moment, with others.

​​

In circle, we may name patterns, parts of ourselves, and tendencies.

We may notice how we hold back, avoid, go towards and come alive.

But we are not working directly on those patterns.

​​

We are practicing presence, connection, and safety in connection.

Which is powerful work in itself

NOAH H. / Los Angeles

"I feel so grateful to have connected with Essena. From an early age, I developed the habit of closing myself off from an emotionally immature family. This strategy has affected all other relationships in my life. During my very first session with Essena, I could literally feel my body begin to soften and become much less guarded. I quickly understood at a deep level, this is someone I feel safe with. From this powerful and supportive foundation, I was able to open up and work through a variety of goals and personal challenges with her. Essena's presence and skills as a coach have had a beautiful and meaningful impact on my life. "
