About Somatic Healing
Somatic Healing is a wellness sanctuary nestled in the serene village of Sayan, just outside Ubud's vibrant center. This peaceful retreat offers a specialized approach to yoga and movement therapy that honors the profound connection between body, mind, and spirit.
The practice of somatic healing focuses on releasing tension stored within the body through mindful movement, breathwork, and deep awareness techniques. Rather than approaching wellness from a purely physical perspective, Somatic Healing recognizes that emotional and energetic blocks often manifest as physical discomfort. By working with the body's innate wisdom, practitioners learn to unwind these patterns and move toward greater freedom and ease.
The studio's location in Sayan provides an ideal setting for healing work. Surrounded by lush rice terraces and natural beauty, guests find themselves naturally drawn inward, away from the distractions of daily life. This tranquil environment supports the introspective journey that somatic practices invite.
Whether you're new to yoga or have an established practice, Somatic Healing welcomes all levels of experience. Classes are designed to meet students where they are, offering personalized guidance and modifications. The teaching style emphasizes listening to your own body's signals, building self-compassion, and developing a deeper understanding of how you hold tension and emotion physically.
With a perfect five-star rating from satisfied practitioners, Somatic Healing has established itself as a trusted destination for those seeking authentic, transformative wellness work in Bali's spiritual heartland.

GoogleBooked a somatic session with Gulcin in Ubud and it became one of those rare, unforgettable moments. From the first minute I felt safe, cared for, and truly seen. Her clear guidance and calming presence made a new practice feel natural, and the shifts were real. I left lighter, breathing easier, and with simple tools I can keep using. Heartfelt, professional, and absolutely worth making time for in Bali. ✨
This is my first time trying somantic healing and i'm glad i stumbled on this place in my last a few days in Bali. Gulcin is absolutely amazing. She makes you feel comfortable, safe to share the most vulnerable part of you. The session was very healing. I'm still integrating the lessons, but the most important part was she helped to bring lights into some of the shadows I've not seeing. I'd def work with her again if I traveled in Ubud again!
So happy I found Gulcen. From the beginning I felt very safe and myself with her. The session was super professional and well planned, everything made sense. Gulcen helped me accept and let go of certain feelings and help me trust my gut. The intuitive touch was very helpful with this. Very grateful!
I chose this healing method because my nervous system was completely overwhelmed, and I didn’t know what else to do. At first, I was nervous and unsure of what to expect. But Gülcin welcomed me so warmly and with such genuine kindness, and she took the time to explain everything in detail, including the entire process. The feeling during the session is indescribable. All emotions surfaced, everything my body had been holding onto came up. And in the end, I was lying there with a huge smile on my face, feeling pure relief from everything my body had been carrying and suppressing for so long. I am incredibly grateful to have met Gülcin and wholeheartedly recommend this healing method to anyone who consciously or unconsciously feels that something in their body is not quite right. It is a powerful method of letting go – and I am deeply thankful for Gülcin’s healing hands 🙏🏻
I worked with Gulcin during a significant life transition and the sessions were genuinely transformative. Her combination of intuitive touch, breathwork, and compassionate dialogue helped me release deep-seated patterns around fear, guilt, and shame that I'd been carrying for years. The shifts extended well beyond our sessions... I experienced a profound opening in my heart and nervous system that continued to unfold for days afterwards. Gulcin also made herself generously available for integration support between sessions. Highly recommended for anyone seeking emotional processing, greater self-connection, or navigating life transitions.
