Somatic Movement Therapy

Fiona MacLeod is a somatic therapist and yoga therapist, somatic breathwork and movement coach and movement practitioner with nearly twenty years of experience working with individuals across a wide range of needs. She weaves together some of the most powerful body-based healing modalities available, offering a rich, layered approach to working with trauma, tension, chronic pain, and the accumulated weight of lived experience, using breath, movement, and mindfulness to support the nervous system back toward its natural capacity for ease.

Fiona offers one-to-one sessions in person and online, supporting clients with trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and anyone seeking a gentle, body-led path back to themselves.

Fiona came to somatic work through her own healing journey, recovering from PTSD following a wildfire and a serious accident, and that lived experience sits at the heart of everything she offers today.

Holding a graduate certificate in yoga therapy, E-RYT, and a certification in Embodied Processing, as developed by The Centre for Healing, as well as post graduate degrees in Fine Arts and Education, Fiona brings a depth of knowledge and an integrative approach to her practice.

Somatic movement therapy may offer support for a wide range of experiences, including:

• PTSD and complex trauma
• Chronic stress, burnout and exhaustion
• Nervous system dysregulation
• Chronic pain and tension
• Hyper vigilance and anxiety
• Injury recovery and rehabilitation
• Navigating major life changes
• Dissociation and feeling disconnected from your body
• Supporting improved sleep and rest
• Held tension in the jaw, neck, shoulders, hips and belly
• Depression and low mood
• Grief and loss

‘Fiona’s approach is personalised and she really tunes into what your body needs. She gently leads you through the process and gives you the tools to continue at home. I was having knee and back issues and since my sessions with Fiona, I feel much stronger and confident in my body.‘

Maureen, Alstonville

‘Drawing on her years as a yoga teacher and yoga therapist, Fiona is a very present and focused practitioner, centred within herself, while also staying 100% attuned to you, the client. Fiona’s warmth, kind voice, and the energy of calm regulation she brings to a session is deeply reassuring.’

Pip, Lismore
