Welcome to Somatic Coaching with Mavra

Thank you for being here and for your interest in Somatic Coaching

I want to take a moment to warmly welcome you: Welcome, welcome, welcome! You’ve taken an important step by exploring this space and I’m so glad you’re here.

My name is Mavra. I’m a Greek who found her home in West Yorkshire, UK (unexpected, I know!) and I’m a Somatic Coach, Movement Facilitator and Comprehensive Pilates Instructor. My mission is to help you build an honest and compassionate relationship with yourself and others. Together we’ll gently peel back the layers of conditioning and reconnect with your higher self - shifting from merely surviving to truly thriving.

Who I Work With

  • Individuals

I work with individuals who want to improve their relationship with themselves and address challenges that may be holding them back. These challenges often include:

  • Anxiety

  • Low self-esteem

  • Stress

  • Inner criticism

  • Difficulty with decision-making

Many of my clients feel stuck when faced with important life decisions, unsure of the right path to take. Through somatic practices like Focusing, I help individuals tune into the wisdom of their bodies, where clarity and intuition often reside. This approach empowers you to make decisions with confidence and alignment, ensuring they reflect your true self and values.

  • Couples

I also specialise in working with couples who want to strengthen their bond and master meaningful communication. Many couples face difficulties because they don’t fully understand each other’s nervous systems or the different ways they have learned to communicate during childhood. Somatic coaching offers couples an alternative, heart-centred approach to resolving conflicts and deepening their connection. Together, we explore the unspoken dynamics in your relationship, helping you:

  • Understand and regulate your nervous systems to reduce tension and reactivity.

  • Develop more effective, compassionate communication habits.

  • Identify and honour each other’s needs in a supportive and balanced way.

  • Rediscover intimacy, trust and joy in your partnership.

Whether you’re an individual seeking self-discovery and growth or a couple striving for deeper connection and harmony, my tailored sessions are designed to meet your specific needs and challenges.

What is Somatic Coaching?

Somatic Coaching is a holistic approach that integrates the mind and body, helping you tune into your physical sensations, emotions and intuition. It’s about reconnecting with yourself as a whole person and uncovering patterns that may be holding you back.

One of the core techniques I use is Focusing. This gentle yet profound practice invites you to listen to your body’s inner wisdom and explore what your feelings, sensations and thoughts are trying to tell you. Through Focusing and other somatic practices, you can approach life’s challenges with clarity, compassion and confidence.

For individuals, somatic coaching provides tools to overcome internal blocks, tap into inner resources and take decisive actions that align with their values.

For couples, somatic coaching creates a space to not just solve conflicts but to transform the way you relate to each other. It helps you develop a shared understanding that strengthens your emotional and physical bond.

Somatic Coaching is not just about solving problems—it’s about creating a safe, supportive space for transformation, self-awareness and growth.

My Journey

My own transformation began 14 years ago when I hit rock bottom. That moment marked the start of a journey inward - a journey of self-discovery and growth. Over the years, I explored many methods, modalities and therapies. Some were life-changing, while others felt like detours. But looking back, I see that every step was an essential part of my discovery process.

Six years ago, I began formal studies in Somatics, training as a Somatic Coach and a Focusing professional. These practices gave me tools to not only deepen my own healing but also help others connect with their bodies and emotions in transformative ways.

On a personal note, I’ve been in a relationship with my husband for over 23 years. Through our relationship, we’ve had many, many fallouts and, like many couples, struggled with communication. We were often focused on our own needs and frustrated by what the other didn’t offer. While deepening my personal growth, I began to understand that humans aren’t meant to be alone and our connections with others are essential to thriving.

This realisation guided me to Somatic relationship coaching. I wanted to truly understand myself in the context of relationships with others - how our patterns, emotions and behaviours shape the way we connect. My journey with my husband has been a key inspiration, and today I’m passionate about helping couples untangle their dynamics, deepen their connection and create healthier, more fulfilling partnerships.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: true, lasting change begins when we turn inward. For me, it was about embracing every part of myself - strengths, imperfections and all - and building a loving, honest relationship with myself and others. That’s the kind of transformation I want to help you achieve.

“It is hard to put into words how Mavra helped me, she would probably say I did all the work.

When I met Mavra I couldn’t even really explain how I felt or what I needed. I felt lost, small, and very unhappy. I was always stressed, taking it out on my family. I knew I needed to change I just didn’t know how.

Through Mavra’s techniques and gentle persuasion, I found ways to express myself, I found me in all the noise, what I needed and how to ask for it. I don’t feel small anymore, or lost, I found my voice, literally, I’ve even joined a choir!

Life can be stressful, so much to do, I now know when it’s all getting too much and what to do to bring me back to the important things in life, the present.

The best thing is that I know I’m not perfect, not fixed and will always need to practice the techniques I have learned, and Mavra will always be there if I need her.

Thank you Mavra”

Your time with her will be a valuable journey that will help you find your way to a home you didn’t know was there.”
