SANKARA

Description

Massage Therapist, Sound Healing, Dance, De-Armouring. Archetype: The Jester

Hello, I’m Sankara.

My work is guided by curiosity, playfulness, and a deep respect for the body as a place of truth. I’m drawn to the spaces where humour, sensation, and honest inquiry meet — where movement and touch invite us to listen rather than analyse.

Touch has always been central to how I understand the world. What began as an intuitive sensitivity deepened through my own healing journey, leading me to explore body-based practices as pathways toward awareness, release, and reconnection. Through lived experience, I came to understand how much the body holds — and how gently it responds when met with presence and care.

My path has taken me across cultures and traditions. Early learning with indigenous communities in Guatemala and Mexico introduced me to somatic approaches rooted in ritual, movement, and embodied attention. Returning to Europe, I continued to study and practice a range of bodywork and de-armouring techniques, allowing my approach to evolve through experience rather than allegiance to any single method.

Over time, I’ve learned that it is not the technique that matters most, but the quality of connection — between body and mind, between sensation and awareness. My work supports people in meeting themselves with honesty and softness, often through movement, sound, and touch that invite release without force.

At Samudra, I offer sessions as playful yet attentive spaces — moments to explore, feel, and reconnect with the body’s natural intelligence, supporting realignment, vitality, and embodied presence.
