Vanda is the founder and therapeutic creative force behind Soma Groove — a somatic, movement-based, and emotionally attuned approach to healing that merges bodywork, subconscious journeying, dance therapy, nervous system work, breath, and expressive arts into deeply human pathways of transformation.

Her work lives in the space where therapy meets artistry.

She guides people into the subtle, often inaccessible places within — the younger parts, the emotional undercurrents, the beliefs held in the fascia, the stories stored beneath language. Through movement, breath, sensory awareness, guided imagery, and intuitive attunement, she helps these hidden layers become felt, understood, expressed, and integrated.

Her sessions and group journeys are known for their depth, safety, and precision. Vanda listens with her whole body — tracking micro-shifts in breath, voice, posture, emotion and energy. Her presence creates a field where people can soften defenses, meet themselves honestly, and experience profound inner contact. Many describe journeying with her as “reaching a part of myself I could never access alone.”

Her work is informed by over 30 years of devotion to movement, music and the body — from her early life as an athlete, dancer and performer, to two decades as an international DJ and educator, and later (and still ongoing) immersion into somatics, trauma healing, inner child work, Jungian and parts-based psychology, dance movement therapy, breathwork, bodywork, energy healing, music therapy and the expressive arts.

But more than methods, her guidance is shaped by lived experience — the kind of knowing that comes from walking her own path of embodiment, healing, and coming home to herself.

Through Soma Groove, Vanda holds spaces — retreats, 1:1s, group journeys, and long-term containers — that invite people to remember who they are beneath the noise:

to feel, to express, to regulate, to release, to reconnect, and to reclaimy their emotional and bodily truth.

Her environments are warm, intuitive, deeply attuned, and permission-giving. They honour the whole human — shadow and light, story and sensation, emotion and essence.

People often leave her work feeling more themselves — clearer, softer, steadier, empowered and finally home in their own body wisdom again.

SOMA GROOVE is An Exploration of Embodiment and Transformation - an experiential method that combines a range of powerful modalities.

Drawing from Breathwork, Somatic Movement, Trauma Healing, Dance Movement Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Music Therapy, Ecstatic Dance, Meditation, Healing Circles, and Trauma Release Techniques, SOMA GROOVE offers a holistic approach to personal growth and healing.

In each session, we dive deep into the transformative power of breath, inviting you to connect with your body and release stagnant energy.

Through somatic movement, we explore the innate wisdom of your physical being, unlocking deeper layers of self-expression and awareness.

Our focus on trauma healing and release enables you to gently address and release emotional wounds, fostering a path towards wholeness, resilience, and freedom from past traumas.

Guided by dance movement therapy principles, we tap into the transformative potential of movement and embodiment as a path for the inner emotional world, the subconscious self, allowing to be brought forward new information about ourselves.. 

Polyvagal theory informs our understanding of the mind-body connection, empowering you to regulate your nervous system and find a sense of safety and calm.

Music therapy, with its rhythmic beats and melodies, acts as a powerful catalyst for emotional release and connection.

In the realm of ecstatic dance, we celebrate the freedom of movement and self-expression, letting go of inhibitions and embracing the joyous flow of energy.

Meditation grounds us in the present moment, fostering mindfulness and inner peace.

Each session is carefully crafted and guided,  enveloping you in a space of lightness, safety, and fluidity. 

The invitation is simple: FEEL and BE.
