Reconnect with your body and inner wisdom. Feel more calm, safe, grounded and at ease in your life.

Somatic Therapy and Yoga for women in Lennox Head, Northern Rivers & online.

If your body has been holding onto stress, trauma, tension, or emotions you can’t quite put into words, this is a gentle invitation to begin listening.

Shauna brings together two of the most powerful body-based modalities available. Somatic therapy works with the nervous system to gently process and release trauma, tension, and unresolved experiences held within the body. Yoga practices draws on breath, movement, and mindfulness to support regulation, restore balance, and reconnect you with a sense of vitality and ease.

Shauna is a qualified somatic therapist, yoga therapist, and counsellor. Her work is trauma-informed and guided by a compassionate, client-led approach, supporting each person at their own pace.

This is a space to slow down, heal, reconnect, and come back to yourself.

A holisitic approach to wellness

Somatic Therapy for Trauma, Stress & Nervous System Support.

A space to explore what your body has been holding, including patterns of stress, tension, trauma and held experience.

Rather than being purely talk-based, somatic therapy gently works with the body and nervous system, noticing sensations, responses and patterns as they arise.

With time, this can help you soften protective patterns, process what’s been held, and begin to feel more safe, grounded and at ease within yourself.

Yoga and Breathwork for Regulation, Release & Body Connection.

Gentle, trauma-aware practices using movement, breath and awareness to support regulation and reconnect you with your body.

These sessions invite you to move slowly, notice what feels right for you, and build a sense of safety and trust within your body.

Over time, this can support you to release tension, feel more balanced, support recovery and experience a greater sense of ease in your everyday life.

Hi I’m Shauna

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.

  • “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!”

  • “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.”

  • “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.”
