Denise Sohandev Wellness Somatic Coach for Midlife Women
Regulate stress. Reclaim yourself. I am a believer in the innate healing powers of the body.

As a practitioner of Gabor Matè’s Compassionate Inquiry technique and an NLP Master Coach, I help clients unearth the root cause of their behaviours. I use these 2 modalities along with over 20 years of therapeutic yoga and breathwork experience to create an individualised healing experience for my clients. Having worked intimately with the body since 2007 I am passionate about guiding people to u

nderstand the complexities of the mind-body connection. One of my passions is to take the somewhat esoteric teachings of ancient yogic philosophy and practice, and present them in a way that is easily accessible to a contemporary lifestyle, using the ancient wisdom to create a full, rich and meaningful life in the 21st century. It is my belief that each client can be empowered to navigate the flow of life with grace and ease. I am a wife, mother and eternal student, taking the path less traveled on this journey of life.

What will you say you did, with this one, wild, precious life?

Are you floating through life, putting out fires or are you moving intentionally in the direction of your dreams?

Wanna create a life you love?
Navigating your nervous system is step one.

This doesn’t mean being cool, calm and collected all the time. It means understanding that you were gifted a full spectrum of emotions and you’re meant to move in and out of all of them. Constantly.

That means experiencing anger (for 90 seconds) without getting stuck in rage. Or feeling sadness without succumbing to depression.

Ultimately, what you don’t feel gets stuck and that’s where the pain starts.

That’s why I recommend starting with Reclaim your Calm.
An online, self-paced 4 week programme that introduces you to your nervous system.

That anxiety and stress that you’ve been nurturing, you can let it go. There is another way.

Ready for a Nervous System Reset… get walking in the great outdoors.

Here’s 5 reasons why:

1. Nothing feels as delightful as sunshine
2. Connection with nature, people and life
3. Movement… well we all need more don’t we
4. Explore, this world is so beautiful, you never know what you might discover
5. Regulate your nervous system. A 2025 systematic review, A Systematic Review of the Impacts of Nature Exposure on the Nervous System, found that spending time in nature is associated with lower fight-or-flight activity and greater activation of the rest-and-digest response.

The best part? You don’t need a mountain, a national park, or a week-long retreat.

A walk around the block, your local park, or sitting under a tree with your morning coffee all count.

Nature reminds us that there is a rhythm to life. And sometimes the most productive thing we can do is step outside and reconnect with it.

What’s your favourite way to spend time outdoors?

Perimenopause didn’t make you irrational.
It made you honest.

The rage. The restlessness. The bone-deep feeling that something has to change.

That’s not a breakdown. That’s your hormones holding up a mirror to everything you’ve been tolerating.
But here’s where it gets dangerous.

Without the right tools, women do one of two things.
They blow up their lives, making reactive decisions from a nervous system that’s on fire.

Or they push it all down, sink deeper into dissatisfaction, and tell themselves this is just midlife.

Neither is the answer.
Think of menopause like spring cleaning.

It pulls everything out of the cupboard. All at once. And yes, it looks like chaos before it looks like clarity.

But that’s when the real work begins.
What to throw out. What to keep. What needs altering. And a whole lot of rearranging.

That process, done with intention, is not a crisis.
It’s the most important invitation of your life.

This is exactly what Self Mastery is built for. Not to manage your symptoms. To help you read them.

Mother’s Day is a strange day for me, one of celebration and commiseration.

Motherhood didn’t come easily… infertility, miscarriages and heartbreak eventually led to adoption. So this day is always filled with both gratitude and grief.

I don’t share much about this journey because motherhood is never a story of one person. There is always an “other”, and the “other” isn’t my story to tell.

But what I can share is what mothering my son taught me:

Humility
No matter how much I try, I will fail sometimes. Those failures are wrapped in love and good intention, never malice, but they still hurt him and they hurt me.

Grace
I learnt to forgive myself for the mother I thought I’d be, for the ways I couldn’t help him and the way I wanted to.

Me
Somewhere in the chaos, fear and uncertainty, I found myself again. I learnt kindness toward myself. I remembered who I was.

Love
A love that is consuming, terrifying, beautiful and unlike anything I’d known before.

Shadows
Motherhood revealed the parts of myself I’d spent years hiding. And I learnt that those shadows were the portals, the metaphorical cracks that let the light in.

Mothering was a portal for me.

I surrendered.
I clung.
I failed.
I succeeded.
I laughed.
I cried.
I created a life I love.

Motherhood was the making of me and even on the hard days, I’m grateful I get to experience it.

I was the woman who had it all together.

On the outside.
Inside? Perimenopause had me questioning everything I thought I was. And I had no language for it, no map, and nobody around me who understood.

What I needed wasn’t more information.
I needed someone to sit with me, inside the mess, and help me find my way back to myself.

Those sessions helped me see the wood for the proverbial trees.

If you’re in the thick of it… the sleepless nights, the rage, the grief for the woman you used to be, the exhaustion of performing when your body is begging you to stop, then this is for you.

1:1 Coaching with me is not a programme.
It’s a partnership. Built entirely around you, your nervous system, your patterns, and the life you’re ready to step into.

We work with somatic practices, breathwork, NLP, and Compassionate Inquiry to get underneath the surface. Where the real shift happens.

This isn’t about fixing you.
You were never broken.
This is about coming home.

If you’re ready, send me a DM and let’s chat.

Are you running on autopilot?
Does it feel like you’re broken?

What if you’re just finally awake enough to notice how much of their life was built on old programming and belief systems.

The reactions. The patterns. The roles you keep playing long after you stopped choosing them.
What if that’s awareness. And awareness is exactly where change begins, it’s the gift of midlife.

Self-Mastery is my 6-week coaching programme for the woman who is done drifting and ready to start choosing.

We work at the level where it actually matters: the nervous system, the beliefs running underneath, the identity that got built for someone else’s life.
Not another course. Not more information. A real rewiring.

Six weeks. Individual programme. Real results.
If something in this reel made you stop scrolling, that pause is worth listening to.
