MY JOURNEY
I came to witness and experience the transformational, healing power of somatic dance through my training at the International School of Somatic Dance, under my teachers Sarsha Hope and Stephan Blase. I have 200 hrs of training accredited and will complete Level 3 this year, in 2025.
Somatic Dance became a tool for my mental health and wellness when I was suffering with postnatal depression, after having my second daughter. I have now come to realise that so much of my mental health challenges in life have had to do with disconnection and a loss of safety due to trauma.
My training has been trauma informed and as I have learnt more about the nervous system and how trauma impacts it, it has become my dedicated life's purpose to heal this for myself and to assist others in creating safety for themselves and for others.
I know it to be true and self-evident that somatic dance and music is a life changing healing modality. Everyone deserves to have the experience of somatic dance. Everyone is welcomed at somatic dance and every part of every one is welcome on the dancefloor.
Everyone deserves trauma-informed healing spaces and it is my life's work to provide safe, transformational, open spaces for healing through somatic dance, movement and music.
An Eco-Somatic Lens
Our bodies are connected to the Earth and we all deserve to feel, deeply, that eco-somatic connection.
As Somatic Dance facilitators, we connect to Nature's Cycles through seasonal celebrations and feet dancing on the Earth. Our whole world would benefit from living an Earth-centric way of life and eco somatics can help heal and foster that relationship to our Mother Earth.
Georgia co-hosts Kerikeri Somatic Dance and has been known for her beach dance sessions, Rise n Rave, as well as featuring on the New Zealand Breakfast Show, for this and somatic dance. She holds silent disco full moon dance and she has held many conscious dance floors across New Zealand, including DJ-ing twice at NZ Spirit Festival.

Packages available when working with me 1:1
Soul Session - this is your strategy session where by the end, you will have a pull towards a way of working together for a min of 3 sessions and beyond.
Initial Session: This is your introductory session and a way for us to get to know one another before we work together more regularly.
This session involves somatic resourcing and nervous system nourishment - it is based on reconnection to your body and begins the ‘unwinding,’ process as you come out of ‘stressed’ mode and into a more harmonious space.
Allow: 90mins to 2hrs
$125.00 per session with a $50 deposit to secure your session and for me to book in with the venue.
Further Sessions:
Upon invoicing you for the remainder of your session fee, you will be invited to select your package and you can either pay in full for the remaining sessions or create a payment plan, with the payment completed upon your final session.
Sessions are $80 each and subsequently 60mins.
Every session includes guided meditation, somatic resourcing tools, dance, integration, Reiki, a cup of tea and an oracle reading. Follow up is made at one week through email and you will receive journal prompts for further integration, as well as somatic resource take home tools.
Feminine Flow Package: $180.00
3x sessions with a focus on each embodiment: Note: One of the embodiments is the ‘womb,’ please discuss your experience with me around any pregnancy loss or complications in this area of your body.
Skin: Your skin is your container, your sacred self and when we reconnect to our outer layer, we can reconnect to a sense of safety deeper within. We play with boundaries and the external world versus internal. Skin can be a sensual experience, allowing for tenderness to arise and for your femininity to begin to flow.
This is a beautiful session for Mothers and women who are transitioning in life, from perimenopause, to menopause, this dance can help heal your disconnect from your sacred feminine flow and your softness. This experience can reconnect you to your sensuality, your sense of safety and your boundaries in life.
Heart: When we dance with our Hearts, we can benefit from deeper, more heartfelt connections in life. We can come back to our joy and peace. Journey with your Heart to heal from grief, pain, disillusionment, loss and to regain a sense of happiness within your heart, with gratitude, from my Heart to yours.
This is a chance to be with your emotions, to allow them to rise to the surface and to be witnessed, held and supported through that process. Movement allows the ‘old stuff’ that has been buried to arise and to be moved, to be shaken out. We can experience spaciousness then, and allow for lighter emotions to come to the surface. This is a deeply healing and potent session for those ready to give to themselves the gift of presence and to creatively express themselves with loving guidance and support.
Womb: A powerful journey to reclamation of your sacred womb space, of your womb wisdom. Connect deeply with Her and find healing in moving from your womb space, being guided gently to remember the power of creativity. This is a deeply healing journey of remembrance, for those who long to reconnect to their womb space, to reclaim this space and to heal. With gentle, loving guidance and a safely held container, you will find reverence in your womb and your femininity. This is for women who are longing for that reclamation and healing.
Bridge to The Elements: $200.00
4x Sessions with one take home session designed for you to do in your own space (5 sessions total)
Reconnect to your innate Nature and experience how our bodies are mapped against the body of the Earth and each element that is contained here.
An Eco-Somatic Love song to your body and that of the planet….
Super grounding and connecting.
Earth: Root down into the Earth and enjoy getting grounded while being able to flow through space with earthy tribal beats to guide you. We connect to the embodiment of your Bones in this ancestral tribute to our ancient roots.
Water: Flow with the waters of your being. The wild feminine within rises to meet you in this fluid session of movement. Reconnect to your creativity and the ever present renewal of cleansing waters within. We connect to an embodiment of blood, sweat and tears in this expression of the divine feminine within each of us.
Fire: Find your inner Fire and the embodiment of your power through your muscles. Connect to the strength and vitality that you are, your inner heat. In this session we tend to our inner flame, revell in the strength of our muscles and enjoy a soundscape of upbeat, fiery heat to help release that which is ready to be burnt in the fires of purification. An empowering experience.
Air: Be cleansed by the healing powers of the Air Element and meet with your ‘wings,’ where we embody the Heart, and our shoulder blades become the wings that carry us to new heights. The element of Air is experienced through gentle breathwork and we journey into a lightness of being, with a soundscape of joyous melodious beats designed with your expansion at Heart.
Sensual Somatics: $180
3x Sessions for women only, dedicated to connecting to Eros, to your sensual self and to enjoy a safe space that is co-created with a sexy soundscape to move to.
Discover your sensual self once more, for the woman who feels disconnected, who may struggle with low libido and has lost a sense of sensuality and play in her life.
Strictly sensual guidance, no sexual activity.
This package is beneficial for women in relationships, looking to reconnect and spice things up, as whatever work you do for yourself will benefit your relationship - for women who are single, this is for you too! If you are missing touch and sensuality in your life, bring that in through safe exploration with professional guidance and give yourself the opportunity to remember that part of yourself - and enjoy it!
All classes include a warm up, somatic resourcing tools and integration at the end, as well as follow up. You are never asked to do anything you are not comfortable with. Your body, your choices.
Connection: The first session is dedicated to slowing down and connecting in with your body, your container, through your senses. Enjoy a guided chocolate meditation, play with textures and items that encourage the senses to come online. Warming up the body with slow, sensual beats.
Confidence: Our second session builds on the first, with more dance and movement with a sensual mix of sounds to enjoy moving to. You will learn some sensual moves and enjoy a guided ‘loving self-touch,’ meditation - this is exploring your skin on your face and anywhere else on your body excluding private areas. This is a sensual experience, not sexual.
Courage: Let's put it all together and pull off some hot moves! Some floor work is introduced and you will enjoy a fun and flirty ‘mirror’ dance with your badass self. Costumes are welcome here, or stay in comfy clothing. The playlist will be lit and your sensual senses alive and well after our first two sessions. Take home some confidence and courage to continue to connect with yourself (and others if you wish) and enjoy life sensually!
