Sofia Abalos Collins
Sofia has a background in holistic massage and trained as a Mizan practitioner in 2017, which was life changing for her. At the time she was looking for ways to find emotional and physical balance in the aftermath of child loss during her second pregnancy. Learning to nurture herself, connect to her cyclic nature and work with these ebbs and flows was profoundly powerful and really important parts of the healing puzzle for her. Through following this work she reassembled herself, regained connection and peace.
Sofia’s passion to support women to find balance, heal and reconnect led her on to doing the advanced practitioner Mizan training as well as the pregnancy and post-natal Mizan training. Alongside this she also trained as a Kinesiologist. She now specialises as a women’s health practitioner with particular focus on digestive and hormonal health, though she feels that her main role is to hold space for women to explore their inner landscapes and help them find their own way back to healing.
Terri Yeshe
I’m Terri Yeshe…as well as being an advanced Mizan practitioner and Mizan trainer, I am a reflexologist, meditation teacher, and a post partum doula . I have three children, three grandchildren and two step children. It is an honour and a blessing to be a grandmother. I am so
fortunate to have had the opportunity to live with my daughter and granddaughter for the last four years. The power of a grandmothers love can heal many things…
Creativity is a big part of my life. My background is in fine art and I previously worked as a dance and movement facilitator for Shallal Inclusive Dance and Theatre Company. I also trained and worked as an Iyengar Yoga teacher for more than twenty years.
My passion is helping people to reconnect with themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. Healing and reconnecting with my own womb has been part of my own journey. I believe that each womb is sacred and I like to bring back that feeling of sacredness to the lives of as many women as I can. Discovering Bushra Finch and training in Mizan Therapy with her has been a big part of my womb healing. Since 2015 I have also been a disciple of ethno-botanist , ethno pharmocologst and shamanic healer – curandero, Dr Rocio Alarcon from Ecuador. Some of the practices I have been learning from Rocio are healing with the energy of the hummingbirds, women’s wellbeing ( including post natal care and rohipping (closing the bones), and limpia ceremonies (a powerful spiritual cleansing ceremony). I have been very fortunate to go to Ecuador twice to attend and support on Rocio’s Healing the healer and Healing with the energy of the hummingbird retreats.
I became a Buddhist in 2004 and have had a very disciplined daily meditation practice since 2013. I have travelled to India and Nepal many times over the last 20 years to receive meditation instructions and to spend time in retreat. I facilitate both an in person and online meditation group.
