stars in your soma
embed your potent vision through your body with the guidance of the wandering stars
four month 1:1 embodied mentorship for the creative visionary who wants to be unapologetically themselves while creating a world where love and belonging is the axis of gravity
You’re not here to be told who you are.
You’re here to experience more of you in the here and now.
You’ve never really fitted the rigid molds handed down to you.
A part of you was always breaking free anyway.
You’re a bridge builder to creating a just and equitable world.
You feel deeply, and care a lot about living in integrity with your values.
You’re here to create and embody a lush, loving world where the abundance of reciprocity is woven into every encounter.
You’re incredibly self-aware with highly attuned sensitivity and connection to beauty and wonder.
You feel in your bones that you’re carrying something deep, clear and true that’s longing to be expressed in tangible reality.
You know that the truth of your legacy does not arrive only in struggle and pain, but in the bubbling joy that anchors your belonging in your heart and your spine.
Yet the noise of the world drowns out your clarity, and the deep grooves of conditioned survival patterns in your nervous system makes it difficult to sustain the change you seek.
You often feel overwhelmed by the noise, demands and urgency of living under a supremacist system, leaving you uncertain of what role you play in shaping the collective future.
You’ve tasted the freedom of walking your own path, but quietly feel bad if you’re not prioritising other people’s needs or the world’s emergencies.
An intimate four month mentorship blending somatic trauma-resolution coaching and astrological guidance
for the deep feelers who are ready to
bring more of themselves into
every space they are walking into
Your transformation emerges from relating to your inner world with attention and curiosity.
Somatics is how we interrupt the habitual pattern of dusty narratives and shame stories about who we are and how we should show up in the world.
Astrology reminds us that the stars live and breathe through you, expressed as your soul identity, your body, the way you feel, what wakes you up at night, where your life is oriented towards.
The existential angst of being human might never disappear, but what if you could shape-shift this angst into something new, strange and beautiful?
We are collapsing fraught stories of survival in our bodies - transforming the intensity of fight, flight and freeze in the nervous system into strength that’s soft to the touch, ambition with less to prove, desires that are emergent and honest, and flourishing creative flow that you cherish no matter if anybody else approves.
For the revolutionary healers, artists and practitioners doing the most who are ready to effort less and create from states of ease, pleasure and amusement.
Astrology tells us what Time it is
Somatics shows us how Time is dancing within you
Astrology offers us a map of who we are, and a blueprint for the living landscape ahead.
And yet, you still have to walk through the terrain.
In your human form.
In the preciousness of your body.
While astrology reflects what cycles you’re in, you are living within cycles in the confines of your body.
Somatics is how we practice Living In Time with our bodies, with one another, with the world around us.
In the here and now.
The present moment is how and where you are actively shaping your future.
But how do we bring more of our wholeness into the present moment?
What will be the ripples you inevitably create when you walk your path with presence and power?
a four month experiential exploration to:
✦ embrace your natural gifts, talents and challenges through the lens of your astrology
✦ understand astrology as a living blueprint for witnessing yourself through your personal path in this life
✦ unearth, clarify and embed your visions through titrated momentum (aka: micro steps!)
✦ deepen your embodied understanding of how and what your body is communicating to you
✦ recognise your survival nervous system patterns as they arise and practice resourcing yourself
✦ befriend your animal instincts to move from your creative flow and power
✦ expand your nervous system capacity to move through discomfort towards the growth you desire
✦ work with the intelligence of your body’s survival system to reshape new ways of being in the world
✦ somatically un-shame your desires and make decisions from a deepening well of self-trust
✦ relate to stress, urgency and external pressure with curiosity to move at your own pace instead
✦ build a sustainable cadence for creating with your body’s capacity through natural impulse instead of force
✦ practice taking up more space skillfully in relationships and in sharing your creative work with the world
✦ orient to yourself as the authority of your life
INCLUSIONS
-
An initial exploration of your vision through the lens of your natal chart and to shape your intention for our work together.
-
Each session will be primarily a bottom-up, body-oriented exploration of what you want to transform, guided by what is emerging for you that week.
We generally start a session with a check in, and resourcing through somatic exploration by orienting and grounding to our environment and the present moment.
During a session, I may ask you to pause your story and notice what is happening in and around your body - this could be sensations, images, sounds, gestures, emotions and thoughts. There may be invitations to track what happens next. At times I may invite explorations into different physical postures, movement and self-touch to support your process.
Towards the end of our session, we allow space for integration and explore next steps for how you want to translate what you experienced in session into your life.
I will weave in intuitive astrological guidance into our sessions as desired and/or asked for.
You will be receiving my dedicated eyes on your chart throughout our four months together - meaning, I will be tracking your personal astrological cycles, which will inform the work that we do together.
-
An integration session to honour and celebrate the depths of your inner journey, and explore what’s next for you.
-
Voice note support will be available with me once a week via Telegram. This is a private space to ask questions, celebrate your wins, and receive witnessing and reflections in between sessions.
I will generally reply within 24 hours.
-
Throughout our four months of working together, I will create personalised resources such as guided somatic practices and meditations to support your process.

Hello luminary, I’m Rachel ♡
I had my first astrology reading when I was 33. Blown away by the resonance of my inner world reflected and seen by a complete stranger - yet a part of me still skeptical - I asked the astrologer at the end of the reading: “Do you say this to everyone?”.
She looks at me says: “No… everyone’s chart is different.”
The year before, I dove deep into the world of inner change-work when the pandemic began, during the final year of my Saturn’s return. I studied energetics and metaphysics through energy work, meditation and yoga. Soon after my first astrology reading in 2021, I started studying astrology.
While many of these healing modalities have been instrumental in my healing journey, what really shifted the foundational baseline for me was when I started training in Somatic Experiencing, a body-based trauma resolution approach that re-oriented the way I related to myself, the world and life. As the freeze in my nervous system began to thaw, I realised how much of my life had been spent living in functional freeze, and how deep fawn and appease patterns were masquerading as my personality.
I was still working as a social worker in the field of family violence. I slowly noted my increasing capacity to stay with myself even in highly distressing situations and still notice micro shifts in the relational field. I began to feel like it was less my responsibility to be the hero and save the day.
I have journeyed with humans through terrifying thresholds of transitions and created deep spaces of listening and witnessing where people feel seen, supported, and celebrated for who they are by meeting them where they’re at.
I’m a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, astrologer and writer. Formerly a social worker, I’m a nerd for transformation and a human who loves and cares deeply about liberation.
I would love to be a companion along your path of embedding your visionary visions through your body, a guide through thresholds of identity metamorphosis, and a loving witness to you bravely choosing to express the truth of who you really are.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
This mentorship is designed to meet you where you’re at - even with a seed of an idea (or many!), we will work together to unearth your vision so it can sprout and grow into the shape you want it to take.
We are not simply working with a vision of what your mind wants, but nourishing the conditions where your nervous system has more capacity to take new risks without collapsing.

Somatic Experiencing® (SE™) is a body-oriented approach for healing trauma and other stress disorders from a nervous system lens. Trauma, from an SE lens, is focused on how it shows up in the nervous system and how stuck patterns of fight, flight or freeze impacts life.
SE facilitates the completion of self-protective motor responses and the release of thwarted survival energy bound in the body and nervous system, by gently guiding someone to develop increasing tolerance for difficult bodily sensations and suppressed emotions, building their capacity for containment and resilience.
The purpose is to diffuse the power of the trauma narrative and remap the body memory to regain aliveness and flow.

My practice is informed by traditional Hellenistic, relational and psychological approaches to astrology. I use the whole sign house system and work with the seven traditional planets as rulers.
For timing, I work with transits, secondary progressions, annual profections and solar return charts.
I do not offer predictions as part of my practice.

Your big visions for the world requires a responsive, flexible nervous system that has the dynamic range and buoyancy to move between states and realms -
to move through thresholds of grief,
to walk through the mystery of the unknown,
to create something new from the rubble of what crumbled.
Your deepest desires asks of your audacity and courage to lead yourself
towards the pleasures you actually want, your true preferences, your singular taste for your cravings.
Your heart wants your trust that no matter what happens,
you will still look at yourself with the kindest eyes.
Your voice longs for your honest truth to be liberated and expressed.
Your body wants to space to move, unabashedly
&
love what it chooses, unapologetically.
You wonder less about doing the Right Thing because you trust yourself to make choices from your presence instead of thinking your way into the correct answer.
You feel grounded in your capacity to experience pleasure and fun and vibrancy without guilt tripping up your days.
You feel fulfilled living your purpose simply by being you, moment to moment -
whether at the grocery store, sharing your poetry or speaking at a conference.
What if your micro, tiny, small drops of creation in the vast ocean is the exact ripple of change that helps turn the tide?
As I felt safer in my body unmasking from being a professional good girl, the perpetually lovely nice one, and the person who knew how to support but still struggled at receiving support, the desire to write and express my interiority became louder, a clear call I could no longer ignore.
The journey of Being Here Now in my body is an ongoing one, a lifelong relationship that grows deeper and subtler each day. It is a process of growing capacity to Be With the reality of the world as it is, learning to anchor back to myself over and over, and release the conditioning of Shoulds that have peppered our world.
I see the world as it is and choose to love it anyway. I orient to beauty, wonder, possibility as pathways for collective liberation, and commit to growing the skills I need to create pockets of worlds that hum with mutual flourishing.
I believe that the most radical act and effective path to become the change we are seeking is through who we are Being, and allowing the ripples of our presence to move outwards.
It only takes one cell repairing and healing to affect the whole body.
The power of one person’s creative healing has ripple effects across the whole system.
The ripples are countless, innumerable and immeasurable. We only have to begin where are. We only have to accept that this is where we’re at right now, and move from there.
your creative vision for the world deserves to be honoured, expressed and celebrated
