ABOUT

Hi, I’m Thalien (like Tah-lean). I help people heal and strengthen the relationship they have with themselves. I do this through sound healing, Somatic Parts Work*, bodywork, massage, yoga, and nervous system education. I’m especially passionate about using the voice—not for performance, but as a tool to release, regulate, express, and reconnect.

​

I guide weekly classes (sometimes yoga, sometimes sound journeys), and offer 1:1 sessions. These can be Thai massage for deep relaxation, or a more therapeutic approach where I combine massage with Parts Work and/or sound to help people access and work with the stories stored in the body.

​

Sound is a big part of my practice. I work with a range of instruments—handpan, shruti box, singing bowls, flutes, ukulele, and a shamanic drum to name a few—both in group settings and in private sessions. Sometimes I play; sometimes I sing; often both. Each session is improvised, guided by the energy in the room. My experience has shown me that sound has a way of going where words can’t.

I also host workshops, retreats, and collaborative sound journeys—often teaming up with yoga or breath work facilitators. I really love working in community and believe in the power and joy of co-creation 🤍

I got into this work because…I needed it. In my teens and twenties I was tangled up in depression, food issues, and the relentless pressure of not being good enough, of needing to be some ‘optimized’ version of myself. Whether it was wisdom or exhaustion, I do not know, but I gradually stopped trying to become myself and just decided to be myself. Owning my metaphorical sh*t in one hand and my glory in the other.

​

Over the years, I’ve trained in yoga, Thai massage, trauma-informed bodywork, sound healing, and various healing modalities (scroll down for the full list). I’m currently deepening my path with voice medicine and ancestral healing.

I also support people before and after plant medicine journeys (like ayahuasca, psilocybin and bufo alvarius)—helping them prepare somatically, and later integrate what surfaced into daily life.

*Somatic Parts Work integrates the methodology of Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) to support healing underlying past trauma and pain. IFS is grounded on the idea that our inner world consists of a system made up of various parts (sub-personalities). In an attempt to protect us from pain, our parts may conflict with each other and act in unhelpful ways. Somatic Parts Work helps us to communicate with these parts in order to experience greater internal harmony and cohesion.
