Welcome to Soma Wisdom

Soma Wisdom is a space for deep healing and awakening through the innate intelligence of the body. Through somatic inquiry and embodiment practices, we work together to release trauma, transform limiting beliefs, and cultivate safety, resilience, and inner freedom. My aim is to support your well-being by providing tools and a safe container for deep processing, so you can reconnect with your body’s wisdom and experience a more balanced, harmonious, and empowered life.

welcome

Hi, I’m Renata! I am a body-centred therapist, insight meditation teacher, and guide for those on a journey toward healing, freedom, and embodied wisdom. My work centers on deepening your connection to the body and supporting you in developing trust in its innate intelligence.

I believe the body knows its way forward in life—all we need to do is listen deeply and allow its organic unfolding to happen naturally, in its own time and pace. My approach is compassionate and holistic, drawing from a rich tapestry of tools and traditions, including Buddhist philosophy, somatic practices, and modern trauma healing methods.

“ Renata is an absolutely incredible therapist. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough! She has the gift to make you feel so welcome, seen and heard the moment you meet her. She creates an incredibly safe space for you to drop in, go deep, and fully surrender to the process. I have had incredible insights and experienced a deep transformation during our sessions. “
Sophie S.
“I'm so grateful for the guidance Renata has given me. For a long time I was looking for someone to help me move beyond the state of anxiety and shutdown that I was in. It wasn't until I worked with Renata guiding me, that I was able to tap into what was driving my nervous system dysregulation and constant reactiveness. I feel so much more grounded and peaceful since the somatic healing with Renata. I'd recommend her to anyone struggling with emotional overwhelm or who wants to grow and heal.”
Schecani
“I felt so grateful for the TRE practice yesterday. I feel I take something new and fresh away into my sitting practice from it.
Renata is a very good teacher, enriched I feel, by her commitment to her own personal work.“
Kate I.
“TRE was such a unique experience from which I am sure I will continue to benefit as I practice regularly. I certainly feel the best I have for quite a while and am so grateful for the way Renata led this simple but profound technique.”
Maryanne
“Renata is a gifted teacher and I like very much the way she tunes in to an individual's response and honour that, whilst giving back what might be a good offering for them as well.
I can see that Renata has studied the dharma extensively and it is fab to be the recipient of this specialised knowledge. I love the space and authenticity in her teachings as well as inclusion of relevance to trauma and the unconscious as related to processing deep feelings. I also really enjoyed the class on The Inner Critic!
It seems to me that she lives what she teaches. It is so wonderful to experience that. “
Deborah B.
“I felt that I covered more in five sessions with Renata than I had with any other psychologist or CBT specialist or NLP practitioner in the past.”
