Beyond the Mind: Exploring Somatics, Safety and Healing with Natasha de Grunwald
This week I’m joined by the incredible Natasha de Grunwald, a published author, international Breath-work, Trauma and Somatic expert with 30 years of experience. She is the founder of the Trauma Release Method and Seismic Orgasmic Breath experience.We talk about why mindset work alone isn’t always enough, how trauma gets stored in the body, and why nervous system regulation is the missing piece for so many entrepreneurs. Natasha shares her personal story of healing, the power of breath-work, and what real somatic practice looks like beyond the surface-level trends you see online.What I love most about Natasha’s approach is how playful and grounded it is. Healing doesn’t have to be gruelling. We explore the tools she teaches - from titration to orienting practices - that help people feel safe, resilient, and able to face life’s challenges without spiralling into fight or flight. Whether you’re new to somatics or already curious about body-based work, this conversation will leave you feeling calmer, clearer, and more connected to yourself.
