Somatic Therapy

in Greater Manchester (Bolton, Wigan, Chorlton) and Online (UK)

“Perhaps everything that frightens us is, in its deepest essence, something helpless that wants our love.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke

Who is it for

Somatic therapy is suitable for those of you who experience:

Uncontrollable Overwhelm that bypasses the rational mind
Feeling what is commonly called “stuck in head”
Emotional or physical shutdown due to traumatic events
Cumulative Stress that lead to headaches
Unspoken trauma or grief
Racing Thoughts
Complex Family Dynamics

What is Somatic Therapy?

It’s one thing to analyse and think our way out of a situation, and it’s another thing to feel into the body’s wisdom (and more importantly, to know how to interpret them). Listening to what’s been unheard within you and creating space for softness, safety, and self-trust is at the heart of Somatic Therapy. It includes talking and analysing, yes, but more than that it also includes feeling, sensing, attuning, interpreting, releasing, and rising.

Reviews

I have found a piece of myself once lost. It has been self care at its best and the wisdom offered will be carried throughout my life.

There were significant shifts that may have just changed my direction in life. I can’t thank her enough.

Raneesha managed to lead me out of one of the scariest times in my life where I had a sudden onset of anxiety. She helped me to co-regulate in the ‘green zone’ and had a great instinct to what I was actually feeling.

About Me, Raneesha

Raneesha Manoharan Somatic Therapist for Stress, Anxiety, Trauma

I’m Raneesha. My journey is rooted in lived experiences and in the transformation that came from breaking many mental health challenges, trauma imprints and generational patterns.

My roots lie in ancient wisdom, first planted by my uncle through Indian philosophy over 40 years ago. That seed was nurtured by my love of Indian dance and arts from the age of 12. Later, my passion for science gave me the concrete understanding of the human brain and body.

Travelling the world deepened this path, as I learned from many cultures and ways of knowing. These threads – science, wisdom, art, and lived experience – flow together into the work I now offer.

I hold a daily practice in healing and transformation, and I bring both personal integrity and professional supervision to ensure you receive the very best of me.

Restoring calm, stability, and safeness in mind and body is at the heart of my work.
