About

reconnect with Riané

Hi, I’m Riané and it’s my mission to help you reconnect with your body, your resilience and your wellbeing. My journey of recovering from Long Covid (and ME/CFS, POTS & Fibromyalgia), led me to discover the world of somatics, nervous system regulation, brain retraining and trauma healing.

I believe the body has a natural ability to heal and that learning to reconnect with the body and the language it speaks can transform the impact that stress, illness and emotions have on us. I also believe that our experience of both stress and illness is as unique as we are, and needs a personalised approach.

It is important for me to create a safe space for you to heal and grow, offering hands-on support to help you learn practical ways to rewire and restore balance in your nervous system, body and mind, and to release ‘stored’ stress and emotions.
