Aléna Turley - Somatic Therapist

06/09/2026

The word somatic simply means body-based, or body-first. Now that it is being used more and more, the meaning can be affected by it's popularity.

I hope that 'regulating', and 'embodying' remain more than words to talk about but are experienced - because that is the true power of somatic work. It can only be experienced to be fully known. Even then, it's entirely individual.

So my hope is that the conversation can stay real, and stay relevant for more and more people.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this in the comments.

If you 'd like a brief and experience-based guide, comment YES and I'll share it with you.

The Chariot.

We see the balance of black and white, guarding in submission before an ornate and lush throne. A sovereign figure standing in his power, vision set in the distance, holding a staff with a large golden crown on his head. Behind him a castle with turrets and a wall, sturdy and strong.

People sometimes fear the Tarot but at it's heart, it is simply a language of symbols to spur along your own intuitive signals.

The Chariot hints at our sovereignty, and our loyalty. Our riches, and our movement.

What do you see?

This is HUSBAND, taken 15 years ago on a beach in Tasmania. I greatly admire and adore him❤️ Even as I acknowledge that grief and love are two sides of the same sphere, and that every moment is a gift… swiftly comes the deepest of gratitude right beside it.

Every day I meet people who feel like they're broken, damaged or dysfunctional.

Every day I tell them, this is an adaptation - a very clever one - to a situation that your mind, body or spirit found untenable.

Our bodies are very clever. Our nervous systems are built to morph and change. We are neuroplastic.

Sometimes we forget this.

Perhaps today you can honour your body's adaptations as a signal that there is wisdom beneath your thoughts.

This could be one way back into internal reconnection and flow.

I know it sounds dramatic... because it actually is.

The part of your identity that is based on pushing harder, or doing more stems from a culture that is tipping into unhealthy at every turn. The only way to challenge that paradigm is personally is with one small, different choice at a time.

We know that the reasons most people feel like they need to prove themselves is that they don't feel good enough, strong enough, worthy enough... or just ENOUGH.

So we prove to ourselves, and to others over and over again that we are, though it never quite seeps in.

Turning it around takes a completely different approach to what got you there in the first place.

That's what I call the Achiever's Paradox - what got you here, won't bring you home to yourself, and won't heal the big hole inside. it just makes you tired and wrung out, and more desperate to feel different.

If this feels resonant I have something for you - 3 Ways to Stabilise. It’s free and the link is right there on my profile.
