A SOMATIC HOME FOR MUSICIANS & CREATIVES

Nervous system-based support for voice, creativity, and embodied expression - for artists who want to create from safety rather than pressure.

WHO WE ARE

The Somatic Creatives Collective© is a space for musicians, singers, songwriters, and other creatives seeking a more embodied and sustainable way to create and perform.

Creativity here is supported through reconnection with the body, the voice, and creative flow — not by pushing harder, but by listening more deeply.

We believe creativity lives in the nervous system, in sensation, in breath, and in relationship, not only in the mind.

Through nervous-system–based education, embodied practices, and creative exploration, we support artists in creating from safety, presence, and authenticity, both in their art and in their lives.

HOW WE SUPPORT ARTISTS

At Somatic Creatives©, we work with creativity through the lens of the nervous system.

Many creatives have learned to create through pressure, urgency, self-criticism, or emotional overwhelm. Over time, this can pull artists away from their body, their voice, and their intuitive flow.

Our approach offers a different path, one that centers regulation, capacity, and embodiment as the foundation for creative expression.

We draw from:

  • Nervous system education (polyvagal-informed)

  • Somatic awareness and felt-sense listening

  • Brain-based Voice Training

  • Breath and Voice work

  • Embodied reflection

  • Creative integration practices

Rather than forcing creativity, we support the body in finding enough safety for creativity to emerge naturally.

  • "Turiya brings out the best in me, both mentally and physically! On top of that, she’s an incredibly talented singer and technically so skilled at what she does. This allows her to immediately pinpoint what’s going on if I do something differently. She’s the best!"

    Elisa D.

  • Sessions with my coach Turiya are not only educational, but also caring for my soul. Turiya has an overall approach; body, soul, voice. Her knowledge and experience make her style to be strict and technical, but always positive and constructive. I really feel we work on my progress together. She never gives up looking what works best for me and my voice. Every coaching I get new tools, tips and tricks. I’ve made a lot of progress over the last months. I’m grateful to have her as my coach, I’m grateful to have her by my side!

  • “As an artist, learning somatic tools helped me take my power back. I can explore my emotions without being consumed by them, and create from safety instead of pain.”

    S.D

  • “As a songwriter, I’ve always drawn from emotional experiences — but revisiting them used to feel draining and unsafe. Through the somatic techniques and the nervous system education we learned, I discovered how to access emotion without reliving trauma. I finally feel free to create from peace instead of pain. It’s changed everything about how I write.”

    — S.D

  • “In just two sessions with Daya, I experienced more transformation than in five years of traditional therapy. For the first time, I truly feel that healing is possible — that one day, I’ll be able to love myself fully.”

    R.V

  • "The course helped me slow down and notice the small adjustments that make a big difference. I feel more at home in my body and discovered a new, relaxed way of breathing.”

    — D.M

  • “I highly recommend Turiya. My daughter and I had the privilege of having an in-person lesson together and was blown away by her warmth. Turiya makes you feel so comfortable with her holistic approach to singing. She really attunes to what her student needs to get the best results while helping you feel comfortable and confident at the same time. Truly amazing!”

    Mei-lan M.

  • “What I thought would be a simple session — since I didn’t believe I had experienced anything ‘traumatic’ — became a moment of deep release and self-love. Daya held space with such gentleness and safety. I look back on the session with deep gratitude.”

    T.A

  • “All the audio exercises are so soothing, and the guidance feels complete. They never skips a step, which makes the process feel truly safe and enjoyable.”

    — I.T

  • “The Nervous System tools have changed the way I write. I can now explore the depths without drowning — making music feels peaceful again, even when the song isn’t.”

    D.N

  • “The workshop provided me with important, clearly applicable tools to deliver a strong performance. It was a rich day filled with a lot of variety and connecting activities for the group. There was a beautiful balance between theory and practical application. I felt completely relaxed and secure to express myself and learn. Thank you for this valuable experience!”

    — E.C

  • “A wonderful experience! The workshop not only expanded my scientific knowledge but also deepened my understanding of myself. A heartfelt thank you to Turiya and Daya for hosting such a profound and enriching experience!”

    — M.V

  • “A very special workshop and an exploration journey within your body. It served as a growth medium for my life. It was also very nice to be able to share this in group — I felt safe and inspired.”
