Meg Weaves - Somatic Practitioner

For as long as I can remember I have been a deeply feeling, sensing, curious creature who has craved depth and getting to the core.

My 20s was spent deep in the spiritual world and communities. This created me as a “compassionate spiritual woman,” who was very “understanding,” for others actions, even if it meant self-abandoning myself. My inner fire and intuition to sniff out situations, was often self-gaslit by spiritual ideologies.

In my later 20s, I started studying with Maya Luna at the Deep Feminine Mystery School who’s work on Anger supported me to reclaim my capacity to push back, say no, and protect the life within me, and to come back to self.

My late 20s and early 30s was also spent out in the wild. Where I learnt so much from listening to the earth herself. I vision quested on land in Western Australia and later in in lutruwita/Tasmania. In my late 20s I lived out in the wilderness for 3 years alone and many journeys out hiking in the wild for days on end. This supported a deeper listening and interconnectedness. It supported a deeper sense of my internal and outer living animate world of existence. After time, I realised the rivers, crevasses, caves, mud, flowers, thorns that live within me.

After a sudden loss of a tiny home I built and all my belongings at age 30, it sent me on a deeper journey of understanding from the lived experience of the human nervous system and the life within the body, the soma, sensation and movement. From this time on, curiosity grew around the home of my body.

And it’s with this, my vision to contribute to a culture where the outer and inner animate worlds are deeply felt, witnessed and allowed to be. With in the earth body and also within our own matter (the soma).

I am fiercely passionate about helping women with their instincts. To sniff things out, to trust their knowing, to trust their deep seeing and to protect the life within them. To take the risk of trusting their instincts and being wrong rather than suppressing the call of the subtle body.

I have worked as a speech and language therapist with neurodivergent humans for over a decade, as a wilderness hiking guide, a gardener and now as a somatic practitioner. The diversity our own nature, the human experience and that of the natural world is something that I protect and hold with reverence, curiosity and deep care.

I am deeply passionate about a world where us humans we can lead by our innate instincts and goodness, to serve life within and without.
