Natalia Rachel

Natala Rachel is a relational somatics practitioner and educator who is known for blending talk therapy and touch therapy to help clients come home to the body, associate and build capacity to safely process their trauma and find greater cohesion, vitality and liberation. As a practitioner she focsuses on working with clients healing from trauma, with specializations in developmental neglect as well as physical and sexual abuse where disociation and fragmentation are present. In addition, she has worked with many chronic illness patients who have suppressed or disintegrated trauma at a root cause level.

Her signature training Trauma-informed Relational Somatics (TIRS) is the result of years of study across disciplines and cultures and has been designed as an integrative training to enhance the work of talk therapists, bodyworkers, medical practitioners and holistic care providers, who wish to deepen their work with trauma survivors.

Natalia is a firm believer that just as clients require a safe pathway home to their bodies, so do practitioners. The Embodied Somatics immersive training has been designed to support practitioners to come to their work from a lived experience of somatization, where treatment becomes an experience between two embodied humans, in relationship. It provides an introduction to a relational approach to care as well as a doorway into the notion that non-verbal communication is a touch as powerful agents of healing.
Natalia has been teaching Somatics in Asia and the USA for the last decade. This will be her first time teaching somatics in Europe.
