Embodied Soul is founded on the principle that true transformation arises when the body feels safe enough to release, integrate, and reconnect. Through bodywork, self-inquiry, and somatic awareness, the work is centered on guiding individuals toward deeper self-intimacy, creating space for authenticity, regulation, and embodied presence. Grounded in both ancient traditions and modern understandings of the body, Embodied Soul honors the intelligence of the nervous system, fascia, and emotional landscape, recognizing the body as a dynamic and ever-evolving terrain.
At the heart of Embodied Soul is Samantha, whose work is deeply informed by both academic study and lived experience. She graduated cum laude from Monash University Melbourne with a Bachelor of Early Childhood Studies, specializing in socio-emotional development, attachment theory, and the nervous system. This foundation, combined with her years as a mother to three children born within three years, provided an immersive understanding of emotional attunement, co-regulation, conflict, and repair; core elements that shape her approach to working with the body and nervous system.

Her professional journey into bodywork began in 2016 with Aromatherapy Massage training in Oslo, Norway, followed by in-depth study in Closing the Bones, Cupping Therapy, and Myofascial Release Therapy, first under Simon Poxon and later through Anatomy Trains Official.
Seeking a deeper integration of physical and energetic practices, she also studied with the Akashic Records Academy in Singapore, completing an Immersive Teacher Training in April 2019.
Samantha's work is an ongoing exploration of how the body holds and releases experiences, bridging structure and intuition, science and felt experience. Embodied Soul is not about fixing but about creating space, within the body, the breath, and the moment, to allow something deeper to emerge. Every offering is rooted in the understanding that one cannot guide others where they have not yet gone themselves. Through her work, Samantha invites individuals to move beyond patterns of disconnection and into a state of embodied sovereignty and wholeness.
At the heart of Julien’s path lies a deep exploration of the meaning of life and freedom. Julien’s work has been shaped by a profound life shift, an unfolding that began with personal therapy and a willingness to face himself with honesty. Trained as an agronomist and shaped by nine years in the pharmaceutical industry, his path first followed a rational and scientific trajectory.
Yet, experiences of burnout, fatherhood, and a deep calling toward authenticity opened the door to a very different way of being. What began with conversational therapy and the guidance of a mentor expanded into an exploration of body-based and energetic practices.
His research carried him from conversational therapy, Russian bodywork and magnetism to the Amazonian traditions, eventually leading him to the Enrootment Method, a practice that weaves together conversation, touch, and energy in an integrated approach to healing. Alongside Samantha, he facilitates cupping for emotional release and continues to deepen his knowledge in myofascial release techniques. Julien’s work is rooted in presence and frankness, offering both individuals and couples a space to shift perspective, integrate experiences, and reconnect with themselves. As a father and therapist-in-training, his journey is one of ongoing growth, exchange, and unfolding, an invitation to meet life as it is, with openness and depth.
