Self-discovery

A holisitic approach to wellness

Research shows that an integrative, whole-person approach supports long-term wellness, helps prevent chronic conditions, and enhances overall quality of life.

This work is about gently coming home to yourself - through compassionate inquiry and cultivating connection, authenticity, and presence.

Together, we explore the root causes beneath patterns and emotions, guided by your nervous system and attuned to your body’s wisdom. With curiosity and compassion, we honor your story, lineage, and inner knowing.

Whether you are navigating stress, trauma, chronic pain, or simply seeking greater ease and connection, all of you is welcome here.

Drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches, we support you to feel grounded, resilient, and aligned with your true self.

Reconnect. Reclaim. Recover.

Somatic Therapist, Holistic Counsellor, Yoga Instructor, Doula & Mom.

Welcome to Somawave ~ a space supporting women through somatic therapy, movement, and community.

My path into this work has been shaped by both lived experience and formal study. I bring over 20 years of experience in body-based therapies and trauma-informed support, with qualifications in holistic counselling, somatic therapy, yoga teaching, Ayurvedic practices, and doula support for major life transitions. I’ve trained in breathwork, Yoga Trance Dance™ and preparation/integration for assisted therapies and altered states of consciousness.

I support women, mothers, carers, families, and fellow practitioners seeking a return to themselves. Somawave sessions are a place to slow down, reconnect with your body, and feel supported through whatever you’re holding or moving through.

At the heart of my work is a simple intention: to offer a space where you can be fully met in your grief, your growth, your remembering, and your return to wholeness. Somawave is a space where your story, your body, and your way of being are honoured.

Book Discovery Call

  • “Shauna has been my teacher & mentor since I first started teaching yoga in 2009. Shauna effortlessly noticed what I needed in my own personal practice to then transform my teaching. And now, after many years of still staying in touch, I get to be in her wonderful presence during another mentorship. I feel it’s even more profound as there’s much more overlap in my practice, motherhood & sharing of yoga and she’s able to guide me in all 3 areas. As a fellow mother of 3 who’s about 10 years ahead in her motherhood journey, Shauna once again saw exactly what was needed to rekindle the spark of joy in my motherhood, practice & teaching. I’m forever grateful for her deep wisdom!”

    - Eliza Coolsma Yoga Teacher (Netherlands/ Italy/ Spain)

  • “Working with Shauna has been an incredibly transformative experience. Shauna has an exceptional ability to attune to each individual's needs, offering guidance that is both empowering and compassionate. I was left feeling lighter and more in touch with my somatic needs and growing edges. Shauna offers a holistic, non-judgmental presence and ability to guide with both wisdom and sensitivity. She created a space where I could relax and trust my process. I highly recommend Shauna to anyone looking to become more in touch with their bodies, whether this be for greater emotional regulation, birthing or preparation for expanded states of consciousness.”

    - Kat D Psychotherapist (Mullumbimby, NSW)

  • “I have been working with Shauna for two years as I navigate divorce, domestic abuse and the Family Court system. She has assisted with my communication to the children’s father, explained processes clearly, identified abusive behaviours and supported me through the overwhelm, feelings of persecution and frustrations of family court. Her experience and skills have been the support and guidance I have needed and filled a crucial gap when navigating the court system: how to understand, advocate and convey the needs of myself and my children. She is the person you want in your corner when you navigate the family law system and in high conflict separations.”
