Nervous System & Biofield Restoration with Natvienna EP44 (EN)
In this deeply nourishing conversation, I sit down with Natvienna to explore how somatic healing can help us return to safety, presence, and connection. She shares her personal journey, the core principles of her work, and we also do a short, live mini-session, so you can get a feel for what this kind of work looks like in real time. My hope is that it gives you a better sense of how it works and the potential it holds.
I this episode will leave you feeling more grounded, hopeful, and curious about your body’s innate capacity to heal when witness with presence.

La saggezza del corpo e la guarigione collettiva con Gloria DeGast EP43 (IT)
In questo episodio del podcast, ho il piacere di conversare con la mia amica Gloria riguardo alla nostra formazione più recente sulla regolazione del sistema nervoso e guarigioni di gruppo. Esploriamo insieme l’intreccio tra pratiche somatiche, regolazione emotiva e l’influenza delle differenze culturali nella genitorialità e nelle relazioni.
Parliamo dell’importanza dei gruppi come contenitori di guarigione, delle nostre esperienze personali e della profonda interconnessione tra emozioni, corpo e relazioni. Mettiamo in luce quanto il sentire e la comunicazione emotiva siano fondamentali per relazioni autentiche e per il nostro benessere collettivo.
In molte culture indigene, la guarigione avviene nella comunità.
Al centro di questo lavoro c’è un atto tanto semplice quanto rivoluzionario: imparare a sentire. Quando impariamo sentire e riconoscere le emozioni e sensazioni nel nostro corpo con persone attorno a noi che ci accolgono, senza venire giudicati impariamo a capire cosa significa appartenere a una comunità sana e connessa—un luogo dove possiamo provare emozioni senza sentirsi da soli e senza venire giudicati.
Questa è l’esperienza che il nostro corpo biologicamente si aspettava fin dalla nascita. E quando finalmente incontra questo tipo di sicurezza, inizia spontaneamente un processo di riconnessione all’essenza originaria.
In questo episodio, condividiamo visioni e strumenti che uniscono Somatic Experiencing, Parts Work, e Costellazioni Familiari—per offrire uno spazio di presenza condivisa, dove le emozioni si muovono, si integrano e si trasformano.
✨ Buon ascolto!
