About Me
Hi, I’m Thalia.
I work with the body — through somatic bodywork, movement, touch, yoga and photography.
What brings all of these practices together for me is a simple curiosity: what happens when we actually listen to the body?
I believe the body is not something we need to fix, control or overcome. It is a place of sensation, feeling, memory, instinct, pleasure, protection, expression and knowing. And sometimes, when we give ourselves enough space to listen, something that has been waiting underneath all the noise can begin to move again.
My own path into this work has been very much through experience. Through movement, dance, yoga, touch, nature, relationships, getting lost and finding my way back. Again and again, I’ve found myself coming back to the same place:
into my body, into feeling, into being more fully here.
Over the years I’ve trained in yoga, somatic bodywork, Fluentbody and Zenthai Shiatsu, and I continue to learn through practice, through other people and through my own body.
I’m interested in both the softness and the fire of being alive — in what wants to be felt, expressed, released, strengthened, explored or simply enjoyed.

My work is not about becoming a better version of yourself.
It’s about getting a little closer to the one that is already there.
And maybe finding a little more freedom to feel, move, take up space, be seen, be messy, be joyful, be tender, be wild — and
be yourself.
This is what I mean by The Art of Being.
If you feel curious, I’d love to meet you there.
