Hi, I'm Liana.

I'm an educator, trauma-informed yoga teacher, meditation facilitator and somatic coach based in Mparntwe/Alice Springs. I work with people moving through stress and change, especially when life feels full and it's become hard to hear what they need beneath everything they have to do.

I've spent years working in education, from schools in Melbourne to remote and regional communities in the Northern Territory. That work has brought me alongside people in periods of uncertainty, pressure and transition. It's taught me to pay attention to the whole person: their relationships, their responsibilities, the place they're in and what their body may be telling them.

Trauma-informed practice underpins the way I work. I draw on somatic and body-based approaches because we don't experience life only in our thoughts. We feel it in our breath, our energy, our movement and the moments we tense or soften. When we begin to notice those responses with curiosity, we can understand ourselves more fully and find ways to feel steadier as we move through change.

In a session or workshop, we might talk, move, breathe or reflect, always at your pace.
