Riitta-Johanna Schäublin
- Somatic Therapist


I believe that in the quiet spaces of our lives, this question waits…what do I need to heal in order to live the life I want to live? If you are here, you may have begun to ask yourself this, or perhaps are just beginning to sense that something within you is ready for change. A quiet whisper urging: there must be more. More presence. More freedom. More connection to your authentic truth.
I have asked myself this question many times throughout my own healing journey. Like so many of us, my childhood was shaped by the warmth of parental love, and by the painful echoes of my parents’ unhealed trauma. A mix of ordinary life events, but also deeply wounding situations. These experiences created a profound disconnection from my body, distanced me from my heart and inner guidance, and shattered my sense of safety in the world; eventually manifesting as physical illness. Yet, while painful, they also became the doorway into deep inquiry, spiritual seeking, and embodied transformation.
Each step has been quietly preparing me for the work I now offer: a space where you too can find your way back towards authentic wholeness. My role is to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your true self; the part of you that exists beneath prescriptive roles, protective patterns, limiting beliefs, and/or physical symptoms and manifestations. This deep work is not about finding a way to “cure” or “fix” yourself, but about unrooting the disconnection that presents itself to each of us.
My approach is trauma-informed, relational, and somatically centred, drawing on Compassionate Inquiry (as a certified practitioner), Traditional Chinese Medicine, Yoga Therapy, Bio Decoding, Internal Family Systems, and Polyvagal Theory.
Today, I inhabit a healthy body and move through this world as a highly sensitive, intuitive and empathic being. I spend my time between Ireland, Portugal, and Uruguay with my partner of 25 years and our two beautiful children. I find grounding in yoga, the sea, nourishing food, nature, and the embrace of conscious community.
If you feel called, I invite you into this space. A space where your story matters, your pace is honoured, and your healing is possible.
