• SOMA SAUNA

    Nature Rituals for Modern Life

    SomaSauna sessions are a grounded, accessible approach to sauna practice for busy humans seeking depth and connection.

  • "The sauna can be more than a place to unwind, it can help us explore our edges and tolerance - our ability to let go - all alongside the perfect environment to really notice your body and breath."

    What's a SomaSauna Session?

    For clarity this isn't the 'somatics' that's suddenly tagged onto every other yoga class on instagram. My approach comes from years of solid study with Embodiment Unlimited, cultivating transformational workshops to help folk reconnect to self, others and place.

    While we might explore ideas of connection to nature or lineage, there's no spiritual specifics here. It's a space for people to find their own way, their own story. To notice more and to think about their 'be-ing' in different ways.

    What we do:

    • body and state awareness
    • breath and movement
    • heat and cold contrast options
    • rhythm, rest and reflection

    Human-friendly embodied practices.

    Rituals for real life.

  • Your Sauna Svend*

    I’m an embodiment coach, facilitator and saunamaster (2 years experience in guiding) with a background in womens health and functional movement (yoga teacher, rope flow coach, biomechanics geek). My background is as an artist and former pro-hula hooper.

    I love weaving these things together to offer experiences that not just feel good but help people live life with more hope, connection, care and joy. I work with poems, stories, herbs and pirtis along with embodiment practices, curated playlists combining music and soundscapes.

    I don’t use essential oils.

    My practice aims to be inclusive and trauma informed.

    I'm a car luddite, so will be on public transport.

    *Some of my teachers are from martial arts backgrounds, and the idea of being a 'Master' after 2 years doesn't sit well for me. My heritage is Danish - and the term 'Meister 'is the Danish for Master - 'Svend' is a journeyman, someone skilled but learning from being and doing.

  • “⁠I went in not knowing what to expect exactly, but it was even better than I ever thought. So refreshing. It definitely helped me to feel alive and safe in my body. The scent of bushes was amazing, adding a sense of aromatherapy. Honestly it was an incredible, full immersive, compassionate space.”

    "Emilie offers a welcoming presence and a gentle invitation to shift the energy and re-centre the mind. Combining embodiment practices with sauna therapy, Emilie creates a safe space to feel seen, held and gently supported in the heat.
    Her sessions are tender and soothing and a must-try for seasoned sauna bathers and sauna-newbies alike!"

    - Jesse Devlin (Inferno Wellness Warrior)

    "Emilie's gentle guidance in the sauna will bathe you in inner sunshine and embodied tenderness."

  • In a world that often feels disconnected, rituals offer space to slow down, tune in, and find your center.

    Our bodies, minds and culture are busy. No wonder so many feel overwhelmed. Having guidance to pause and reflect in can be deeply helpful.

    These sessions can offer both simplicity and depth, rituals without rigmarole, that focus on connection, space and place to help people find a way to pause, notice, and restore.

    Rituals rooted in season and cycle help us orientate beyond the mess of modern living to find what matters most.

  • During the pause in one of the spring sessions, a participant shared that he'd been looking for ritual in his life but hadn't known where to start.

    Already, not half way through this workshop - he felt he had found a way: Through noticing what's already here.

  • I'm based in Frome, Somerset & am very happy to hop onto a boat, bus or train to come & visit your venue or event.
