Does this sound familiar?

Maybe you've already tried yoga, therapy, journaling, or podcasts about healing. You understand your patterns, so why do you still feel stuck in them? There's a gap between understanding what you feel and actually feeling it in your body. This work lives in that gap.

  • Your mind never switches off: even when you're exhausted, you're replaying conversations, analyzing your feelings, trying to figure everything out.
  • You're tired of being the strong one. You hold everything together for everyone else, and somewhere along the way you stopped knowing what you need.
  • You've talked about it, journaled, meditated, so why does it still feel stuck inside you?
  • Your mind says you're fine, but your body feels different: tight chest, clenched jaw, shoulders that never quite drop.
  • Life has become work, responsibilities, recovery from stress. You want to feel alive, not just functional.
  • You've learned how to cope. Now you want to feel like yourself again.
  • You live with anxiety, and it's not just in your head. The tight chest, the racing thoughts, the feeling that something's wrong even when everything looks fine. You want tools that help in the moment, not just insight about why it happens.
  • You've been through difficult things, and part of you is still bracing. You don't have to retell the story to start feeling safer in your body.

What I can help you with

You don't need another self-improvement project. You need space to be yourself, and tools that meet you in your body, not just your head.

  • Calm your nervous system with simple, body-based tools that actually work
  • Sit with your emotions instead of pushing them away, and move through them
  • Reconnect with your body and feel safe in it again
  • Release stored tension and emotional weight you've been carrying
  • Build small daily practices (breath, movement) that keep you steady
  • Feel more like yourself again
  • A trauma-informed space to meet anxiety and old wounds gently: you set the pace, and you can pause or change direction anytime.

What is somatic work?

A somatic session is a body-based practice that helps you reconnect with your body, nervous system, and emotions. You learn to notice sensations, tension, breath, and emotional patterns stored in the body. This awareness supports emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and deeper inner safety. No need to perform. No need to tell your whole story. Just space to notice, feel, move, and reconnect with yourself.

About Yuliia

Hi, I'm Yuliia: a trauma-informed somatic practitioner and RYS-200 yoga teacher based in Toronto.

For most of my life I thought I was just too emotional, too much. Nobody taught me how to sit with my feelings, so I pushed them down, until a kriya practice during my yoga teacher training cracked me open and I started crying. That was the beginning.

Since then I've completed my 200-hour yoga teacher training, trained as a somatic practitioner, and taken more workshops on emotions, the nervous system, and embodiment than I can count, plus years of self-study and my own daily practice.

I work with the body, not just the mind. Because your body keeps the score, and it also knows the way through.

Client stories

  • “The Kriya session with Yuliia was amazing. I felt deeply relaxed and safe throughout the whole process. Other breathwork sessions felt too intense, but this was the perfect balance of body, breath, and presence. I slept so well afterward.”
