YOUR GUIDES

The Instructors

Sabra Laval brings a deeply intuitive and compassionate presence to her work, supporting others in reconnecting with their bodies, emotions, and inner awareness. Her approach is gentle yet powerful, creating a space where people feel seen, supported, and able to explore at their own pace.

With a focus on embodiment, emotional awareness, and relational connection, Sabra guides participants into deeper layers of presence, where insight, release, and healing can unfold naturally.

Rory Reich brings decades of experience in creative leadership, coaching, and personal transformation to his work as a somatic and energy facilitator. His approach has been shaped by years of immersive study, personal exploration, and a deep curiosity about the relationship between the body, emotion, and awareness.

His work centers on creating an environment where people feel safe enough to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and explore what lies beneath the surface. Rather than directing an experience toward a predetermined outcome, Rory emphasizes presence, attunement, and trusting what unfolds naturally.

THE JOURNEY

Certification
Overview

This training moved beyond theory into lived, embodied experience. Over four days, participants learned through direct practice, developing a deeper relationship with themselves and the work.

The experience offered more than knowledge: greater body awareness, emotional sensitivity, intuitive trust, and the confidence to support others in a grounded and responsive way.

At its heart, the training was about reconnecting with what is already present: awareness, steadiness, and the natural capacity to hold space for others.
