Feeling stuck in patterns you can’t break?
Your body is storing trauma you might not consciously remember. The anxiety, chronic pain, exhaustion, or numbness isn’t “all in your head.” It’s coming from the master system in your body: your nervous system.
When you learn to work with it, you can release what’s stuck and in overdrive, regulate your emotions, and reclaim the vitality that is your birthright.

Client Praise
Hi Jaya! I wanted to reach out and share so much gratitude for all the work we did together. I'm doing really well and feel like I am getting better and better every day.
Even noise in spaces doesn’t drive me crazy like it used to. My nervous system seems to have become more solid and feels so much lighter! Thank you so much.
~ AnastasiaGraphic Artist, Milan, Italy 
“I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 10 years ago, and have explored many ways to manage and cope with pain and fatigue with not much lasting improvement. After each Somatic energy therapy session with Jaya, I have felt a noticeable reduction in overall pain, a much needed boost to my energy level, as well as a deeper connection to my own inner healing wisdom. Since we have moved our sessions online, I have been surprised and delighted by the similar effects of our ‘distance sessions’! A gifted healer, Jaya’s innate abilities and extensive training truly facilitate total body/mind/emotion healing and realignment. Where I felt ‘stuck’ in my healing journey before, I now feel free to again move forward in giant leaps!”
~ Jodi HSmiths Falls, ON 
“Somatic energy therapy sessions with Jaya provide a powerful space to focus on energetic structures that are at play just below my awareness. Jaya acts as an amplifier that helps me to see the patterns that are present in my body and mind and are influencing my choices, as well as, physical, emotional and mental states. Awareness, combined with these techniques, help to identify, shift and reorganize these longstanding energetic patterns. Things that were unconscious are now becoming conscious, which I am confident will lead to different choices in future.”
~ EllenGovernment Worker, Ottawa 
“Thank you Jaya. You actually healed me more than anyone I’ve ever seen therapy over the last 30 years.” Something about you seeing my grandmother and how her trauma has affected my own health. Working with it has started to heal me, and the intergenerational trauma that I’ve carried for decades. Now I feel the strength of all my Mother’s within ~ it’s so surprising to me how much stronger I finally feel.”
~ Dr. Molly ShorthouseBScBMBS(Hons) FACRRM (AST Mental Health), Australia 
“Jaya’s healing sessions have quickly become a cornerstone on my healing journey. I am continuously amazed at the depth of transformation that occurs within each and every session. Never before have I experienced the benefits of therapy so immediately, nor so efficiently as I do during and after these sessions. My health is improving tremendously and I am experiencing more joy and well-being in my life now than ever before. Jaya has a warm and joyful energy that has made me feel completely comfortable and able to receive the gift of this powerful medicine. These sessions have revolutionized my life. THANK YOU, Jaya!”
