About your practitioner Vivananda Shakti Gaia
(Christina Clapperton)
Vivananda is a living testimony of Post-Traumatic Growth, surviving abuse from a young age. Her resilience to carry forward was only the beginning of her journey to who she is today. Healing her connection to her true nature and energy led her to recognize and break free from illusions, becoming more able to access infinite consciousness, energy, and wisdom and is now on a path of heart-led stewardship. Finding the medicine of her trauma, she committed to understanding her psyche, restoring her inner authority, and living with grounded aliveness. In a moment of claircognizance, she received her new name – Vivananda – meaning “alive with bliss and joy.” When Ananda – this divine joy – is cultivated, it remains in the face of any difficult external circumstance.
Vivananda’s Somatic Integration work is devoted to restoring the innate intelligences that live in the body that guide connection, creativity, and emotional truth. Drawing from somatic practice, depth psychology, relational neurobiology, and ancient wisdom traditions, she creates spaces where people can slow down, listen deeply, and rediscover their natural timing. This is not about fixing, but about remembering how to live from coherence and embodied clarity.
This work integrates somatic awareness, nervous system regulation, and embodiment practices to support deeper self-connection, relational wellbeing, and grounded aliveness.
This space can support trauma survivors who have done trauma processing and are not ready to work on trauma adaptations that often continue even when memories no longer hold a charge.
And it is for anyone who is ready to restore inner authority. Even in “good enough” homes:
-
parents value politeness over truth
-
achievement over sensation
-
emotional regulation over emotional accuracy
-
independence over attunement
This work helps client’s systems reorganize to restore connection to inner truth.

Key Aspects of Somatic Integration work:
Attune to Your Body’s Signals: Somatic Integration supports you in slowing down enough to notice what your body is already communicating. Through guided awareness, you learn to track sensations, impulses, and nervous system patterns so you can respond rather than react. This builds a felt sense of stability, helping you feel more present, clear, and connected to yourself in everyday life.
Integrate Emotional Patterns: Rather than analyzing experiences only cognitively, this work helps emotions move and resolve through the body. By gently working with activation, contraction, and protective responses, old patterns can soften without overwhelm. Over time, this supports greater emotional flexibility, resilience, and the ability to stay with yourself during challenging moments.
Restore Inner Coherence: Somatic Integration helps align your thoughts, emotions, and body so they begin working together rather than in conflict. As internal coherence increases, boundaries feel clearer, decisions feel more grounded, and a deeper sense of inner steadiness and self-trust becomes possible.
Expand Capacity for Connection: As your nervous system becomes more regulated, your capacity for connection naturally grows – with yourself, others, and your environment. This work supports moving toward relationships and life experiences with greater openness while maintaining a strong sense of centre and personal integrity.
