Somatic Inquiry with Andrea
A Somatic Inquiry session with Andrea can help you shed light on whichever is blocking you in your life.
Through exploring the wisdom of the body and being compassionately present with all sensations appearing within its landscape, in the here and now, we have the opportunity to meet deep layers of repressed emotions and traumas. By simply shining the light of our awareness on these physical sensations, we allow stagnant energy to flow, naturally enabling the release of these repressed emotions, and revealing the negative beliefs and coping mechanisms that shape our lives.
This trauma-informed work will gently and safely navigate you to the root of the issue, allowing you to come back home to your true Self.
As we return to embodied presence, we begin to remember the wisdom of our ancestors and the old ways of belonging to each other, to the Earth, to something larger than ourselves. In the unraveling of internalised systems of domination, the residues of colonisation, supremacy, and separation, we make space for deeper connection, reciprocity, and care to emerge.
There is no becoming here, only a return to wholeness β one body, one world, remembering itself back into harmony.
Feel free to contact Andrea with any questions you might have regarding this work through andrea@stellarfolk.org.
Psychedelic preparation & integration
Somatic Inquiry can also be a great way to prepare for or integrate a ceremony with mind altering substances or states. Building emotional resilience and stepping into the role of the observer are essential means to harnessing the potential myriad benefits from psychedelic experiences. This form of guidance equips you with tools to manage challenging emotions and sensations, and regulate your nervous system, ensuring a smoother and more enriching journey.
After a psychedelic journey, Somatic Inquiry can serve as a grounding and integrative practice, helping to translate the often intense and abstract insights into tangible, embodied wisdom. We can witness and hold whatever arose during the experienceβwhether profound clarity, unresolved trauma, or overwhelming emotionβwithout judgement. This process allows the nervous system to settle, preventing overwhelm and helping the insights to take root in daily life. Integration through somatic presence transforms fleeting visions into lasting shifts, supporting not just personal healing, but a deeper attunement to the self, others, and the natural world.
ββLa Vida es Sagradaββ by visionary artist Aphra NatleyGuidance on your microdosing journey
Microdosing involves taking very small, sub-perceptual doses of substances, typically psychedelics, to enhance mental well-being, creativity, and focus without inducing a full psychedelic experience.
Somatic Inquiry can be an incredible therapeutic addition to microdosing, and can deeply enhance its effects. Andrea can also give guidance with navigating different protocols, dosing schedules and support in tracking and interpreting the effects, helping the individual understand and navigate changes in mood, cognition, and behaviour, helping you optimise the experience for personal growth, mental well-being, or attaining specific goals.

Bettina Maureenji
Transformational Voice Work
For those who feel called to explore or develop their speaking or singing voice β whether for personal growth or professional use, Bettina Maureenjiβs therapeutic method The Medicine of Your Voice is a deeply transformational method supporting personal, vocal, and musical growth by using voice, sound, and silence to foster inner connection, emotional and physical healing, and authentic expression. Rooted in Dhrupad, the Indian classical vocal tradition, this method integrates vocal exercises developed through Bettinaβs personal healing from autoimmune conditions, studies at CIIS, and research in sound, trauma, and neurology.
Bettina Maureenji is an internationally acclaimed musician, yogi, ceremonial facilitator, song writer, certified Voice Healing Teacher and therapist. The songs and prayers Bettina has written and learned over the last 20 years are a reflection of her own personal journey of healing. Bettinaβs intention in music is to facilitate a space that invites into other states of consciousness where healing and transformation can take place. For her, sound is sacred and a direct connection to the Divine that teaches us to stay grounded within our bodies, to be in touch with Mother Earth and to wish happiness for all beings seen and unseen.
