Erika Tourell has been leading life-changing workshops and retreats for three decades in the UK and around the world.

A ceremonialist and somatic specialist, she draws on thirty years' experience as a hatha / tantra yoga teacher, healer, dancer, and facilitator of breath work — a depth of practice that underpins everything she offers.

As a midwife of birth, death, grief and the soul, Erika has helped facilitate transformation and healing for thousands of people on their paths towards greater aliveness, connection and joyful living. Her work with early developmental, ancestral, intergenerational and relational trauma and human attachment meets people exactly where they are, honouring the nervous system and the body's own capacity to heal.

Drawing on her extensive lived experience, influenced by a wide variety of authentic lineages and indigenous traditions, she never fails to create something completely unique, unusual and exciting for the group participants. Her training in therapeutic somatic approaches — including NARM integrated with a range of somatic practices — sits alongside ceremony, breath and movement, so each retreat or workshop is shaped around the people in the room.

She specialises in holding deeply compassionate and kind spaces for personal and collective liberation. Whether through one-to-one somatic therapy, relational and intimacy coaching, or group retreats and workshops, her aim is the same: to help people heal trauma, build secure ways of relating, and move through the world with greater freedom, more fully embodied in their truth.

What to Expect:

• A space shaped around you. No two retreats are the same — each is created fresh for the people in the room, drawing on ceremony, breath, movement and somatic practice.

• Deep, gentle nervous-system care. Trauma-informed throughout, with the body's own capacity to heal at the centre of the work.

• Authentic lineages, honoured. Influenced by a wide variety of traditions and indigenous wisdom, held with respect and integrity.

• Room for grief and aliveness. Space to meet what's real — birth, death, grief, eros, and joy — and to move towards greater connection and joyful living.

• Compassionate, kind holding. Deeply attuned facilitation for both personal and collective liberation.

• Lasting change. Tools and embodied experience you can carry home, supporting secure ways of relating and a more resilient nervous system.
