Somatics with Zena
My Qualifications
Zena is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and international Assistant and intermediate level Provider of the SE training. She offers private sessions - mostly online. Somatic Experiencing is an excellent compliment to psychotherapy sessions as they allow a shift in the body's autonomic system in ways that cannot be reached through talk therapy alone. It is also a more subtle and integrative approach towards healing trauma and building resilience in general and can be pursued as its own therapy.
Zena specializes in birth trauma, complex trauma, developmental trauma and systemic trauma. She is a certified Neuro-Affective Touch Practitioner, a graduate of the Bodynamics Foundations Program and a graduate of the Integrated Prenatal and Perinatal Dynamics Program, all of which have deepened her understanding of interpersonal energy, gentle interventions and qualities of presence that support the transformative process of healing.
Since 2009, Zena teaches weekly yoga & qi gong in community settings. Her passion is to make these self-empowering and healing practices accessible to people in all kinds of challenging circumstances and she offers regular weekly online classes for free to help support their health and wellbeing.
She is a board o the UK-registered charity Tools 4 Inner Peace and co-founder of the Dubai-based holistic wellness center Body Mind You.
Private Practice
Community Care - Group
I offer Free Trauma-informed Qi Gong practices online. You can request to join my group by contacting me here. I teach bi-lingually, Arabic & English. The duration is usually about 40 mins.
Three Session Cycle - Private
Three sessions offers a short and contained time-frame and is particularly well-suited for those who worry that therapy is a never-ending process. Somatic Experiencing as a therapy works directly with the nervous system and can have a discernable effect even in a short time.
A Season of Change - Private
This is a commitment to three months weekly sessions for when you know that that's what you need. Regularity and longer process matter when there are many layers, particularly when trauma is relational, developmental and there is chronic pain or auto-immune symptoms. Is this journey calling you? Have you tried everything else and still feel stuck in an old pattern? This is a gift for yourself when you're ready.
Free Weekly Qi Gong Practices- Online
With the intention of individual and community wellbeing, internally and externally, Zena offers these free online practices bi-lingually in Arabic and English.
The duration of the session is about 40 minutes and it has been a regular offering April 2020. In this era of upheavals, her intention is to help people feel grounded, balanced, connected and supported. Free Online Qi Gong with Zena is an opportunity to practice together some gentle medicine that reconnect us with our natural vitality.
