Come exactly as you are.
Pelvic bodywork, breath, nervous system care and sacred healing for every season of womanhood.
A deeply personalised 2.5-hour experience held within Sophia's private forest sanctuary in Okura, Auckland. For women moving through fertility, endometriosis, PCOS, pregnancy loss, postpartum, transition or grief, and equally for women ready to reconnect with the power, creativity and potential held in their womb space.
Whole Womban Healing
Whole Womban Healing is my way of working with the many layers of a woman: physical, emotional, energetic, nervous system, spiritual and feminine.
I use the word Womban intentionally.
Within many feminine healing traditions, the womb is understood as more than a reproductive organ. It can be experienced as a centre of creation, intuition, feeling, sexuality, cyclical wisdom and deep inner knowing.
It is where life can be created, but creation takes many forms.
Ideas.Relationships.Boundaries.Expression.Desire.Purpose.
The life we are continually creating for ourselves.
And whether you have a physical womb or not, I believe we can still be in relationship with this energetic and symbolic centre within us.
Womban is a remembering of the whole woman through the wisdom of her centre.
Whole Womban Healing exists to create a place where the whole woman is welcomed. Her physical body. Her nervous system. Her emotions. Her experiences. Her spirituality, if that matters to her. Her uncertainty. Her grief. Her pleasure. Her power. Her future. Her desire to simply be cared for.
This work is not only for what you are moving through. The womb is the seat of creativity, intuition and life force, and this is equally a place to expand: to reconnect with your own power and potential, to come back into relationship with your body, and to call in what is next for you.
There is no fixed treatment sequence. Each session is created around the woman who arrives that day.
Where you are
There does not need to be something wrong with you to come.
Support for women trying naturally, preparing for conception, moving through IVF or IUI, or reconnecting with their body during a fertility journey.
Areas that may be explored include bodywork, pelvic and abdominal tension, nervous system regulation, breath, rest, emotional support and reconnection.
Supportive pelvic and abdominal bodywork for women experiencing pain, restriction, tension or a complicated relationship with their pelvic body.
The focus is support, relaxation, mobility, breathing, nervous system care and reconnection.
Whole-woman support for those moving through PCOS, irregular cycles or a changing relationship with menstruation and reproductive health.
Elements may include abdominal and pelvic bodywork, breathwork, regulation, self-care practices and personalised support.
A deeply gentle space for miscarriage, stillbirth, pregnancy release or termination, unsuccessful fertility treatment, or reproductive grief.
There is no timeline for when your body or heart should be ready to be tended to again.
Supporting the enormous physical and emotional transitions of pregnancy, birth and becoming a mother.
This may include bodywork, breath, abdominal support, scar work within Sophia's training and scope, nervous system regulation, emotional processing and reconnection with the body.
A woman does not need a diagnosis, loss or problem to come. This pathway is for transition, menopause and perimenopause, sexuality, creativity, burnout and body reconnection.
For emotional change, intuition, feeling disconnected from femininity, significant life changes, or simply wanting to be deeply nourished.
You may arrive because of pelvic tension. Because IVF has left you exhausted. Because you have been through loss. Because you no longer recognise your body after birth. Because your cycle has become difficult. Because life has changed. Or simply because something in you needs rest.
Sophia will never ask you to adopt a belief system. The session meets you exactly where you are. If energy work or ritual feels supportive, it may become part of the experience. If what you need is bodywork, breath, conversation and rest, that can be enough too.
The framework
Rather than separating physical, emotional and spiritual health into different treatments, Sophia works with you as a whole.
01
Sophia has trained in the C-Section Release Method, Levels 1 and 2, through Body Lane. Depending on your needs and always within her scope of practice, a session may incorporate:
This is not internal pelvic floor treatment.
02
Sophia's background includes psychology training, trauma-informed training with The Centre for Healing, and holistic life coaching. This layer is fundamental. Every session is consent-led, paced according to you, and designed to create genuine safety.
Nothing happens to you. Everything happens with you.
03
For women who are open to it, a session may also draw upon Sophia's training and intuitive abilities. Everything here is invitation, never expectation.
You do not need to consider yourself spiritual to receive this work.
“We do not force release. We create enough safety for the body to soften in its own time.”
The experience
You enter the forest and are welcomed into the sanctuary, offered herbal tea or Seven Sisters ceremonial cacao, and given time to settle. There is deliberately no rush.
The opening of your session is conversational. Sophia takes time to understand what is happening in your life, what you are experiencing physically, your reproductive history where relevant, your emotional context, your boundaries and intentions, and what would make you feel safe.
Sophia then creates your treatment intuitively and collaboratively. There is no rigid modality checklist. A session may draw from bodywork, myofascial release, breathwork, nervous system regulation, Reiki, shamanic and sound healing, yoni steaming, meditation, energy work and intuitive guidance. Everything remains optional.
Your session includes time for stillness. You do not have to immediately get dressed and leave. This may include sound, meditation, heat, blankets, silence, tea, cacao, conversation, intuitive messages and integration guidance.
For this time, there is nowhere else you need to be.
The place
Hidden amongst the native forest of Okura, north of Auckland, The Sanctuary is a private space created for women to step away from the outside world and be completely tended to.
From the moment you arrive, the pace changes. No waiting room. No revolving door of appointments. No rushing onto the next thing. Just privacy, nature, warmth and time.
Seven Sisters ceremonial cacao · personalised herbal tea · aromatherapy · oils · soft linen · heat · sound · candlelight · natural textures · rituals chosen for you · time to simply be still
Travelling to Okura is part of the ritual.

Whole Womban Journey
Sophia's recommendation for deeper work
$1,555
Three 2.5-hour sessions across approximately 6 to 10 weeks
A three-session journey through safety, softening and expansion. You are not simply given three appointments, you are accompanied.
The journey begins with a short connection call, so Sophia can understand your intentions and whether it feels aligned.
The Whole Womban Journey
Three sessions, each building on the last, with your body setting the pace.
Session One
Coming Home
The first session is about being met. There is no expectation to immediately go deep. It allows Sophia to understand your story, and allows you and your body to become familiar with Sophia, the sanctuary and the work.
“I am safe to be here.”
Session Two
What is ready to move?
By the second session there is an established relationship. You know the room. You know Sophia. Your body has already experienced the work. This may allow deeper physical, emotional or energetic work to emerge naturally.
“I can soften what I no longer need to carry.”
Session Three
Reclaiming
The final session is not simply about clearing or fixing. It is about what becomes possible when there is more space.
“I am ready to inhabit more of myself.”
Held between sessions
The work continues in the weeks between, with practices created for you alone.
Three approximately 2.5-hour sessions at The Okura Sanctuary, across roughly 6 to 10 weeks.
A short connection call before beginning, to understand your intentions and circumstances and whether the journey feels aligned.
A gentle intention and framework for your three sessions. This is a personalised healing and wellbeing pathway, not a medical treatment plan.
After your first session, an individually tailored plan to support the work between sessions: breathwork, self-massage, nervous system practices, grounding, meditation, journalling, ritual, time in nature, cycle awareness and rest.
Your own beautifully designed manual: your story and intentions, understanding your body, your nervous system, your breath, your body practices, your rituals, your integration practices, and space to record what unfolds. A luxury field guide to your own healing.
Specific practices and reflections following each session, with a clearly defined check-in between each one.
Access to a small private library of Sophia's own meditations, grounding exercises, breathwork, womb connection practices and integration recordings.
A small Whole Womban package: Seven Sisters cacao, herbal tea, a ritual card, body or womb oil and journal prompts.
A luxury field guide to your own healing.
Safety and consent
A note on this work
Whole Womban Healing is complementary wellbeing care. It supports but does not replace medical care, obstetric care, fertility specialists, physiotherapy, psychological treatment or any other qualified healthcare provider, and it does not treat or cure endometriosis, PCOS, infertility or any medical condition. Please continue with the care of your health professionals, and speak with them if you are unsure whether this work is right for you at the moment.
Your practitioner
Sophia's work sits at the meeting point of body, psychology, energy and intuition. It allows a session to remain grounded and practical while still making room for experiences that cannot always be reached through words alone.
In their words
After a traumatic womb experience, my expectations were exceeded.
Before you come
Whether you are moving through fertility, loss, pain, motherhood, change, or simply a season in which you need to find your way back to yourself, there is space for you here.
Come into the forest. Put down what you have been carrying. Let your body be listened to. Let yourself receive.
Come exactly as you are. Leave more deeply connected to the woman you are becoming.
