Daphne is a registered yoga therapist, movement educator, bodyworker, and a specialist in somatic therapy. A self-professed geek, She is always exploring underlying principles of the human body and movement patterns as embodied relational beings. Daphne applies principles of kinesiology, somatics, trauma physiology as well as tantric and yoga philosophy in her work. Through therapeutic practices, she helps people cultivate sensory awareness to inhabit their body and embody the adage of a mind-body connection so as to fully experience life. She has helped people of all ages rehabilitate injuries, regain neuro-motor functions, manage chronic pain, and work through trauma.

Embodiment & Movement Medicine
Course summary
Somatic yoga therapy is a holistic embodiment approach that explores how we inhabit in our body-mind and relate to self and others.
Through the exploration of how body systems and developmental movement patterns support and create the imprint in which we move through our daily-life via our nervous system, we can understand and hence reclaim our agency to shift our mind-body states through the study and practice of somatics.
Our mental and physical health corresponds to our ability to regulate our autonomic nervous system. Traumas disrupt this system and can manifest into physical symptoms like pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalances, chronic conditions, immune system dysfunction, anxiety and depression.
This trauma-informed immersion will shine a light on our habitual but unconscious neurological patterning that manifest into how we breathe, our posturing, and our reactivity to circumstances.
These patterns arise from our life’s experiences, predisposition, developmentally, as well as conditioning. They emerge through the filters of our perceptions and our conceived reality. They shape our expression and communication with the outer world. Our tissues and organs provide the essential components of the patterns from which we weave our personal stories. These stories are then recorded and stored in the templates of our autonomic nervous system in the way we relate to self and others. Our ability to regulate the inflammatory and immune responses, maintain proper organ and metabolic functions, as well as to heal from diseases depend on the proper functioning of our autonomic nervous system. Bringing together movement, breathwork, and hands-on touch to cultivate sensory awareness, we can cultivate a mindful and practical dialogue in healing from pain, injuries, anxiety & stress.
We will also learn to assess, facilitate and regulate the different body-mind states using the movement of others through the physiological framework of the Polyvagal Theory (as developed by Dr Stephen Porges).

Trauma-informed Yoga Therapy
Experiential Anatomy and Kinesiology
Somatics & Embodied Wisdom
Sensory Awareness & Repatterning in Touch & Movement
Emotional and Nervous System Regulation
Fascia, Connective Tissue & The Fluid Body
Embryology & Developmental Patterns
The Trauma-Informed Embodiment & Bodywork Immersion is a journey. A journey into the senses to uncover our very own physical and subtle mind-body mapping, bringing to our consciousness the way we inhabit in our environment, and how we respond to elements and people around us. It is a journey to unearth the treasure trove of our innate healing through breath work, movement, bodywork, meditation and self inquiry.
The embodiment approach in this immersion will shine a light on our habitual but sometimes unconscious neurological patterning that manifest into how we breath, our holding gait, and our reactivity to circumstances. These are manifested through pre-dispositions, deep-seated patterns, trauma, as well as years of conditioning.
Bringing together mindfulness based techniques with somatic tools, we will gain more clarity into our own emotions and behaviour as an embodied biological process, this will enable us to live and move with greater ease and grace.
This program constitutes part the 200 hours Teacher Training Program in Embodiment & Bodywork with Daphne

Blog Post - Reframing Therapy: To heal is not to fix
The yoga therapy components of my teaching and courses are based on my various therapeutic trainings and credentials in movement education, bodywork modalities & massage therapy trainings, as well as the completion of Yoga Therapy Graduate Certification Training, and ongoing accreditation with the Australasian Association of Yoga Therapists . It is not derived from my status as an E-RYT 500 nor as an RYS with Yoga Alliance Registry. Please note that any reference to therapy or treatment within my communication is not meant to imply any diagnosis or to cure health conditions. Rather, my focus is on improving general health, well-being and avoiding injury to those with health conditions.
