Somawave offers a holistic, integrative approach to wellness that supports emotional wellbeing, nervous system regulation and self-awareness through trauma-informed, evidence-based practices.

If your body has been holding onto stress, trauma or emotions you can’t quite put into words, this is a gentle invitation to begin listening in a new way.

Somatic therapy works with the nervous system to gently process held experiences, shift protective patterns, and create more safety and ease within yourself.

Yoga practices draw on breath, movement, and mindful awareness to support regulation, restore balance, and deepen connection with your body.

This holistic approach addresses underlying mental, physical, and emotional impacts that may not be eased by traditional talk therapy alone.

Shauna is a qualified integrative somatic therapist, yoga therapist, counsellor and doula. Her approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and guided by your individual pace and needs.

A space to slow down, heal, reconnect and return to yourself.

Somatic Therapy and Counselling for Trauma, Stress & Nervous System Support

A space to explore what your body has been holding, including patterns of stress, tension, trauma and held experience.

Rather than being purely talk-based, somatic therapy gently works with the body and nervous system, noticing sensations, responses and patterns as they arise.

With time, this can help you soften protective patterns, process what’s been held, and begin to feel more safe, grounded and at ease within yourself.

  • “Shauna has been my teacher & mentor since I first started teaching yoga in 2009. Shauna effortlessly noticed what I needed in my own personal practice to then transform my teaching. And now, after many years of still staying in touch, I get to be in her wonderful presence during another mentorship. I feel it’s even more profound as there’s much more overlap in my practice, motherhood & sharing of yoga and she’s able to guide me in all 3 areas. As a fellow mother of 3 who’s about 10 years ahead in her motherhood journey, Shauna once again saw exactly what was needed to rekindle the spark of joy in my motherhood, practice & teaching. I’m forever grateful for her deep wisdom!”

    - Eliza Coolsma Yoga Teacher (Netherlands/ Italy/ Spain)

  • “Working with Shauna has been an incredibly transformative experience. Shauna has an exceptional ability to attune to each individual's needs, offering guidance that is both empowering and compassionate. I was left feeling lighter and more in touch with my somatic needs and growing edges. Shauna offers a holistic, non-judgmental presence and ability to guide with both wisdom and sensitivity. She created a space where I could relax and trust my process. I highly recommend Shauna to anyone looking to become more in touch with their bodies, whether this be for greater emotional regulation, birthing or preparation for expanded states of consciousness.”

    - Kat D Psychotherapist (Mullumbimby, NSW)

  • “I have been working with Shauna for two years as I navigate divorce, domestic abuse and the Family Court system. She has assisted with my communication to the children’s father, explained processes clearly, identified abusive behaviours and supported me through the overwhelm, feelings of persecution and frustrations of family court. Her experience and skills have been the support and guidance I have needed and filled a crucial gap when navigating the court system: how to understand, advocate and convey the needs of myself and my children. She is the person you want in your corner when you navigate the family law system and in high conflict separations.”
