Meet Ayesha

Ayesha is a embodiment facilitator and somatic practitioner, who helps women to resolve trauma and reconnect with the sacred vessel of the body.

With 10 years of experience in the wellness and embodiment field, she offers transformative interventions in her work, guiding women through emotional embodiment, boundary renegotiation, relational healing, somatic movement, embodied dance, and feminine nervous system education — in both small group containers and 1x1 sessions.

Her professional foundation and educational background is rooted in trauma-informed yoga therapy, registered massage therapy (RMT), and medical acupuncture. While she is currently not active in her RMT/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. In addition, Ayesha educates movement and wellness professionals in the topics of musculoskeletal anatomy, somatics, myofascial release, and nervous system education. She has trained over 370 professionals in these areas of study to date. See her work with HealthyHips® and CE programs here.

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.

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, embodied dance, self myofascial release, theatrical enactment, and yoni (vaginal) steaming.
