Hello, I’m Norah Greatrix. I’m dedicated to helping individuals discover the power within their body for self-healing and self-realization.
Trained across modalities that nurture embodied wholeness and nervous system well-being, my work is inclusive, affirming, and held with care.
I’m committed to sharing the transformative nature of somatic healing and to supporting a return to the body’s innate wisdom and birthright to feel safe, at home, and fully alive within.
As a Somatic Experiencing® Practitioner, educator, and embodiment guide, I support people of all ages in listening to the language of their body. I trust in the alchemy of breath, sound, and movement as pathways to living.
