Somatic Inquiry

A path of awakening through the body

What is it?

Somatic Inquiry is a process of listening deeply to your embodied experience—not to fix or change it, but to discover the truth of what’s here. It’s a contemplative and relational approach rooted in presence, curiosity, and reverence for the intelligence of your inner world.

This work is not about resolving symptoms or working through past events (though that may naturally happen). Instead, we turn toward your felt experience as a gateway to insight, clarity, and wholeness. Through subtle and attuned guidance, we invite the body to reveal what’s true, what’s asking to be known, and what’s ready to integrate.

Somatic Inquiry lives at the intersection of personal healing and spiritual awakening. It often attracts truth-seekers and those who have journeyed through trauma work and are now drawn to live from a deeper ground of being—one that is authentic, awake, and aligned.

Rather than orienting around “what’s wrong,” Somatic Inquiry explores:

  • What is unfolding right now?

  • What truth is emerging through this experience?

  • How can I meet it with presence?

It is through this kind of intimate, embodied awareness that natural resolution arises—not by force, but by fully arriving.

Who is this for?

At the heart of Somatic Inquiry is a commitment to truth—not as something to be figured out or given by another, but the truth that arises from within when you slow down, listen, and make space for it to reveal itself.

This work may resonate with you if:

  • You’re seeking clarity and self-awareness through your embodied experience

  • You feel drawn to a spiritual path that includes, rather than bypasses, your human experience

  • You sense there is a deeper truth wanting to emerge—but it’s not accessible through thinking alone

  • You’re no longer seeking to be “fixed” but are ready to meet life as it is, with honesty and care

  • You long to live from inner authority, authenticity, and connection with your true nature

  • You’ve done therapeutic work and feel called to move beyond healing into a more awake, integrated way of being

  • “ 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. “

  • “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.”

  • “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.“

  • “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.”

  • “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. “
