Workshop Webinars & Somatic's
Discover the beliefs and patterns shaping your choices, explore your intuition and reconnect with your body. Our webinars, practical
workshops and somatic sessions offer different ways to learn and experience this work, with processes you can bring into everyday life.
A PLACE TO BEGIN
The Foundation Class
Free • One session • No commitment
Explore the beliefs and patterns shaping your choices, and discover how awareness and intuition can support you in creating what you would truly love. Through guided reflection and practical exercises, I'll introduce you the work and guide you through two processes you can use in everyday life. There's space to ask questions, explore and decide whether you'd like to continue learning with me.
A NEW PERSPECTIVE
The Webinar
Online • 90 Minutes • Embodied Experience
In 90 minutes, you'll be introduced to the heart of this work, hear about our New Zealand and Bali retreats, and experience a gentle embodied practice. You'll leave with one simple process to support you in daily life, and space to decide whether a retreat feels right for you.
RECONNECT WITH YOUR BODY
Somatic Sessions
Gentle Movement • Breath • Sound
A guided space to slow down, reconnect with your body and become aware of what's present. Through gentle movement, breath and sound, you'll be invited to explore sensation, move at your own pace and listen to what your body needs. No previous experience is needed. Come as you are, with space to rest and participate in a way that feels comfortable for you.
Begin Where You Are
Whether you're curious about our retreats, ready to explore the work or drawn to reconnect through movement, you're welcome here.
Choose the experience that feels right for you, with space to explore at your own pace.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME...
Hi I'm Samala,
Before any of this, I spent over 22 years in adult education and leadership, running my own training academy. I loved that work, but somewhere along the way I noticed something the frameworks couldn't teach: real change doesn't start in someone's head. It starts in the body, in the nervous system, in the quiet space where awareness and intuition actually meet.
So I went looking for that, properly, into somatic practice, sound, and movement, and eventually I built the thing I wished I'd had: a place where women could stop performing "fine" and actually come home to themselves.
That's Heart n Soul.
I still teach from that same table on 8 acres in Waitoki, with my partner and my son somewhere nearby. Whether you meet me in the free workshop or you've been with me in Somatic Movement for a year, I'm not trying to fix you. I'm just here to help you remember what you already know.
What Women Are Noticing
Reflections from women who have joined us.
"I Absolutely Love the Energy and Experience. I have attended a couple of the somatic dances at Heart N Soul Retreats and absolutely love the space, energy and experience. Samala is so welcoming and warm. I totally recommend and I am already looking forward to the next session. Thank you Samala."
Patrice Murdoch from NZ
"From Reservation to Inner Power - Through the embodiment practices at the Heart n Soul Retreat, I overcame barriers of reservation and old thought patterns, shaking off deep emotional blocks and reconnecting with my intuition and natural sense of power."
Gabriele Woest from Germany
"It is so powerful this transformation. “My cells are dancing all through my body. I feel my own radiance and remind myself to go gentle and slow. My connection with hubby took us to the first night we met. That's my truth. I am so forever grateful I have received my healing and ready to take it out into the world."
Maree Torstonson from Brisbane
