Meet Ayesha

Ayesha offers transformative interventions in her work, guiding women through boundary renegotiation, relational healing, emotional embodiment, somatic movement and dance, and feminine nervous system education — in both small group containers and 1x1 sessions.

As a somatic facilitator and embodiment practitioner with 10 years of experience in the wellness field, Ayesha helps women resolve trauma and reconnect with the sacred vessel of the body.

Ayesha integrates a variety of modalities in her work with women including embodied emotional expression, somatic experiencing and trauma resolution support, somatic partswork (IFS model), primal activation/healthy aggression expression, breathwork practices, somatic movement and dance, self myofascial release, therapeutic theatre enactment, and yoni (vaginal) steaming.

Ayesha plays with the therapeutic concepts of both catharsis and titration in her work. Catharsis when pushing growth edges (mainly in group containers), and titration for slower, steadier, more grounded approach to healing.

In both approaches, Ayesha prioritizes the importance of resourcing and integration, creating a nurturing container where you can unravel and be held.

Her professional foundation and educational background is rooted in trauma-informed yoga therapy, registered massage therapy (RMT), and medical acupuncture. While she is currently transitioning out of her RMT and acupuncture practice, her clinical experience has provided her with a strong understanding of anatomy, therapeutic concepts, and a deep commitment to compassionate and quality care. Ayesha also educates movement and wellness professionals in the topics of musculoskeletal anatomy, somatic movement, myofascial release, and nervous system education. She has trained over 350 professionals in these areas of study to date. See her work with HealthyHips and CE programs here.
