She Rises: 5 Week Somatic Journey
An embodied reclamation of voice, sovereignty, and centre
September 30th through October 28th, 2025 at the Yoni Art Gallery in Kitchener
She Rises is a 5 week in-person program for women to build a strong, embodied sense of self and centre, to feel and express what’s been craving a voice, and to get curious with the endless wisdom that lives within your very bones… all within a supportive, small-group, trauma-informed space.
Tremble. Growl. Crawl. Dance. Cry. Laugh. Connect. Unwind. Witness. Grow. Hum. Rise.
Together we’ll explore…
Embodied boundary work to reclaim your full-body yes and unapologetic no
Myofascial release for the pelvis, jaw, and core to unwind stored tension and emotional holding patterns in the body
Primal movement and healthy aggression expression to unfreeze old fawning (people pleasing) tendencies and take up space
Embodied dance and improvisation to access joy, intuition, sensuality, and emotional freedom
Journey drumming and vocal activation practices to liberate authentic voice and expression
Somatic partner practices to deepen attunement, co-regulation, and connection
Developmental movement to re-pattern attachment wounds
Throughout this journey, you’ll build self-trust, sharpen your instincts, and reclaim a solid, embodied sense of your centre.

If you’re craving a deeper connection to your body, your voice, your power… if you’re tired of freezing, fawning, people-pleasing, abandoning yourself to keep the peace, or collapsing into old patterns… if you long to feel yourself from the inside out, to move from instinct, to trust your gut, and to take up space without apology this program is for you.

Ayesha Nobes
Ayesha is a embodiment facilitator and somatic practitioner, who helps women to resolve trauma, connect in community, and deepen relationship with the wisdom of the body.
With 10 years of experience in the wellness and embodiment field, she offers transformative interventions in her work, guiding women through somatic experiencing, emotional embodiment and process work, feminine shamanic practices and archetypical expression, boundary renegotiation, relational healing, somatic movement, embodied dance journeying, breathwork practices, myofascial release, and feminine nervous system education — in both small group containers and 1x1 sessions.
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 a slower, steadier, grounded approach to healing (mainly in 1x1 sessions).
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, somatic experiencing (SEI), 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.
