Clara Marri - Somatic Practitioner & Educator

 

Clara Marri is a trauma-informed Somatic Practitioner and Educator specialising in breathwork, bodywork, movement and nervous system practices at Erthe Life in Chatswood, Sydney.

Her journey into this work began through a desire to better understand her own relationship with stress, anxiety, the breath and the body. What started as a personal exploration developed into a deeper study of how our physiology, emotions, breath and embodied patterns continually influence one another.

Today, Clara works with individuals through somatic breathwork and bodywork, while also teaching and facilitating somatic education and professional trainings.

Clara's Approach

Clara's approach is gentle, grounded and led by curiosity rather than trying to fix or force change.

Her work brings together science-informed approaches with traditional and embodied practices, creating space for people to slow down, become more present and develop a deeper relationship with their body.

Over the years, Clara has trained with leading teachers across breathwork, somatics and bodywork. Her practice continues to evolve through ongoing study, observation, embodied experience and, most importantly, listening to the body itself.

At the heart of her work is the belief that the body holds an innate capacity for awareness, adaptation and change when given the space and support to do so.

Experience

Clara's work spans breathwork, somatic practices, nervous system regulation, movement and therapeutic bodywork.

She is trained in Zenthai Shiatsu, a bodywork practice integrating mindful touch, assisted stretching and rhythmic movement to support mobility, release tension and invite deeper relaxation and connection with the body.

Her background across these practices shapes both her one-to-one work and her approach as a somatic educator, bringing together practical understanding with embodied experience.

1:1 Somatic Breathwork

Clara's private somatic breathwork sessions explore the relationship between the breath, nervous system, emotions and embodied awareness.

Each session is personalised to the individual and adapted to what is present on the day, creating space to support regulation, emotional processing, greater presence and a deeper connection with the body.

Rather than following a fixed process, Clara works responsively with each person's breath, body and experience.

1:1 Bodywork

Through Zenthai Shiatsu bodywork, Clara combines mindful touch, assisted stretching and rhythmic movement to support mobility, release tension and invite the nervous system into a deeper state of rest.

Sessions are guided by the body rather than a fixed sequence, creating space for relaxation, greater body awareness and the body's natural capacity to adapt and reorganise.
