Somatic Release
Body-centered healing
Working directly with the nervous system to release tension held in the muscles, fascia, and breath. The body carries what words cannot always express — somatic release offers a gentle path to letting go.

About Waniya Wellness
Waniya Wellness is a holistic healing practice that brings together four complementary modalities — somatic release therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness meditation, and nature connection. Each session is tailored to the individual, drawing on one or all of these approaches depending on what you need.
This work is deeply personal. As an abuse survivor, I understand what it means to carry tension in the body and to navigate the journey toward wholeness. That lived experience, combined with professional training, informs every session — not as a formula, but as a genuine meeting between two people who both know something about healing.
My Islamic faith is the foundation of everything I do. It shapes how I hold space, how I listen, and how I approach the connection between mind, body, and spirit. You don't need to share my faith to benefit from this work — you simply need a willingness to reconnect with yourself.
The Approach
Body-centered healing
Working directly with the nervous system to release tension held in the muscles, fascia, and breath. The body carries what words cannot always express — somatic release offers a gentle path to letting go.
Mind-centered healing
Practical, evidence-based tools for recognizing and reshaping thought patterns. CBT helps you understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors — and gives you the skills to change them.
Presence-centered healing
Cultivating awareness of the present moment without judgment. Mindfulness creates space between stimulus and response — a space where healing, choice, and peace become possible.
Earth-centered healing
Reconnecting with the natural world as a source of grounding, regulation, and perspective. Time in nature reminds the nervous system what ease feels like — and brings us back to something larger than ourselves.

Healing through narrative
Storytelling as a tool for transformation — sharing experiences of healing, resilience, and faith to inspire and guide others on their own journeys.
One or all of these approaches can be woven into your session. Every engagement is shaped around what you need.
What to Expect
We begin with settling in — breath, body awareness, and a check-in about where you are today. There is no rush. The session starts when your nervous system says it's ready.
Together, we listen — to the body, to the mind, to the moment. Gentle guidance helps you notice sensations, thoughts, and patterns without judgment. The approach that fits emerges naturally.
As you feel safe, the body and mind begin to release what has been held — through movement, breath, stillness, or simply being witnessed. This is your own healing unfolding.
We close with grounding practices to carry the session's effects into your daily life. You'll leave with simple tools and a felt sense of what balance looks like for you.
