Hey, I'm dia. I'm an embodiment practitioner, creative collaborator & community-tender
I offer somatics & healing arts spaces for individuals, groups & social justice organisations, that celebrate the wisdom & alchemy of your lineage.
I hold courageous-soft space for us to be with all that's here, feel our aliveness, root into the collective soil, act in alignment,
and become the ancestors we want to be.
A one-to-one Somatic Hour is a place for you to sense into your body as a trustworthy landscape where the mystical, the poetic, the cosmic, the ancestral live & breathe...
and to practice how to move every day from that knowing.

Testimonials
"dia's approach is person centred, direct, practical and full of care. They allow you to show up as who you are in the moment with not only zero judgement, but with deep acceptance of who you are and what you are bringing.
I am letting myself fall back into life more, softening into the challenges and feeling out that which I have avoided before.
With dia you will find yourself cared for and celebrated and that will change the game in ways you didn't know were available to you. You will be so happy you met them."
“Energetically, even though it was over the screen, what you put out there and how that relaxed my central nervous system so that I could go to some of those places that feel really uncomfortable to go to... that's such a gift."
“I think what I found most helpful was how each practice felt queer and expansive, and had me thinking about connecting to and inviting in all sorts of creativity, nature, ancestors."
“This is a beautiful, affirming way to experience politicised somatic practice that feels nurturing and expansive. dia honours consent and holds space for intersecting identities safely and joyfully. Feeling seen and understood from the beginning made it easier to jump into practice together.”
"My life has totally transformed in the last 8 months. dia creates a space of pure possibility.
In a society that tells you what to want and what to value, dia’s openness and honouring of uniqueness, difference and personal truth is a much needed light."
"I knew no matter what unfolded in the conversations, I had your love and compassion there just holding that space for me."
“I’ve never been in a space quite like this before.
Something has shifted.”
