Ayurvedic bodywork and Jyotish readings for women.
A quiet private studio in Highett, Melbourne — and online.
Welcome
Soma offers classical Ayurvedic practice for women — bodywork in the studio, and Ayurvedic Astrology Readings readings online.
Two branches of the same ancient tradition. One works with the body through touch, warm oils, and unhurried hands. The other reads your birth chart to map your constitution and your timing — what the current period of your life is asking, and how to move with it.
Both rooted in a 5,000-year tradition that understood the body not just as something to be treated, but as something to be listened to.

Warm organic sesame oil. Slow, continuous strokes across the whole body. A treatment practiced in essentially the same way for thousands of years.
Abhyanga works by nourishing — the skin, the tissues, the nervous system. It doesn't try to fix anything. It simply creates the conditions, and the body does what it already knows how to do.
Leave quieter than you arrived.
Harnessing the power of specific Ayurvedic oil blends for your current state and constitution. Ninety minutes of continuous, uninterrupted bodywork. Developed here at Soma over years of practice.
Something in the combination of oil, rhythm and quality of presence allows the body to go somewhere it doesn't usually get to go.
It's hard to describe beforehand. Expect deep nourishing restoration.
This treatment takes time — two full hours — and that time is the point.
Warm oils chosen and blended for you. Two hours, unrushed. The session moves with the body rather than to a fixed sequence.
Marma therapy is drawn on where it's needed — precise work at points where the physical and the more subtle meet. Some things only become available when there's enough time and enough stillness.
For when something is ready to shift.
Ayurvedic Astrology Readings
Because your birth chart is older than your story about yourself.
In the Vedic view, the planets aren't "out there" — they're mapped into your chart the moment you arrive, each one carrying its own yantra, its own signature. Ayurveda reads your body's constitution. Jyotish reads the same constitution written across time.
A reading is a conversation with that map. Where you're naturally strong. Where you keep meeting the same wall. What this particular stretch of life is asking of you — and what it isn't, yet.
It won't tell you what to do. It gives you better questions, and a sense of timing for when to act on them.
This is your Map & Key to your Cosmic Intelligence.

“I’ve had a lot of bodywork over the years and this was something else. There’s a real depth to the treatment. It’s not rushed, and you can feel the care in every part of it. It stayed with me for days afterwards..”
KS ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑“I carry a lot of tightness through my shoulders and neck and this helped release it without feeling forceful. It was gentle but surprisingly effective.Something really shifted during the treatment - my body felt completely at ease for the first time in a long time.”
LK ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑“You can feel Natalie’s years of experience in the way she works. There’s a depth and steadiness to the treatment that’s hard to find. It felt both nurturing and very skilful..”
RN ⭑⭑⭑⭑⭑About Natalie:
My work with the body began more than two decades ago through massage therapy and continued to expand through studies in herbal medicine, aromatherapy, yoga and Ayurveda & Counselling. Over the years I have been drawn more and more toward slower, traditional approaches that allow the body to settle deeply.
Ayurvedic bodywork brings together many strands of this path. The steady rhythm of touch, warm organic oils and a quiet environment invite the nervous system to soften and the body to return to its natural balance.
Alongside bodywork, I offer Ayurvedic Astrology Counselling & Vedic birth chart readings. More here:
