ABOUT loïs

I come from classical music, leading orchestras from the age of 14 on global tours and dedicating most of my spare time to practice and mentorship. During that time I experienced intense pressure and the weight of perfection. Those years were deeply formative.

I went on to spend my twenties in the music industry, working with artists, institutions and cultural projects such as Ninja Tune, the V&A, !K7 Music and many others.

During that time I witnessed creative brilliance alongside the hidden costs and unseen labor that configure artistic ecosystems.

Across each phase of my evolution, I moved through cycles of physical burnout, chronic inflammation and relational turbulence. Working steadily over many years with extraordinary therapists and practitioners, I eventually found my way to somatic work and began healing the roots of complex trauma.

My recovery led me to train deeply in somatics, including Peter Levine’s Somatic Experiencing Institute, together with a wide range of adjacent modalities.

My background in sociology adds another layer: a sensitivity to systems and an understanding of the cultural and collective forces that shape how people experience themselves.

Today I weave together disciplines - body and music, research and ritual, art and healing. The work I offer restores resilience, nourishes creativity and makes space for natural expression to emerge, both on and off stage.

My practice is rooted in holding space for nervous system repair, embodied presence and authentic expression. I work with people at the edges of collapse and transformation, offering steadiness and restoration where words are not enough.
