From Fragmentation to Wholeness: Somatic Trauma Healing & Embodied Reconnection

I'm Marina Nabão, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and Embodiment Coach who guides individuals and couples from survival to thriving through body-based healing and erotic empowerment.

Because healing happens in relationship - with our bodies, our desires, and each other.

Whether you’re trapped in trauma patterns that limit your capacity for intimacy, or you’re a couple feeling emotionally and erotically disconnected after walking through life’s challenges – your body holds the wisdom for deep healing and passionate reconnection.

You Deserve Relationships That Nourish Your Soul

If you’re here, you might be experiencing:

Disconnection from your body that impacts your capacity for emotional and erotic intimacy
Trauma patterns that create walls in your closest relationships
Erotic disconnection from yourself and others
Feeling stuck in survival responses when you want to be present for those you care about and love the most
Yearning for the passion you once had for life in general and/or shared as a couple

What if your healing could expand your capacity to love and be loved?
What if reclaiming your erotic aliveness could transform not just you, but all your relationships?

Healing That Serves Love: My Relational Approach

I don’t just help you feel better individually – I help you heal in ways that deepen your capacity for connection, intimacy, and authentic relating:

Healing that expands your ability to be present with loved ones.

Reclaiming sexual energy as medicine for yourself and your relationships.

Guiding partnerships back to passionate intimacy after life’s challenges.

Building nervous system capacity to stay open during conflict and connection.

Bringing relational-centered healing to individualistic wellness culture.

“I help people heal not just for themselves, but so they can show up fully for the relationships and communities they care about most.”

How We'll Work Together

Embodied Bliss: Somatic Trauma Integration

A deeply personal 6-month journey for trauma survivors who want to heal towards connection. Through somatic coaching, nervous system regulation and erotic empowerment, you’ll reclaim the safety and aliveness needed to experience more of life and to love and be loved fully – by partners, children, friends and your larger community.

Perfect for you if:

Past trauma limits your capacity for relational and erotic intimacy
You want to be more present for your partner, children, business or community
You’re ready to reclaim your erotic power as medicine
You seek healing that serves something larger than yourself

Resilient Hearts, Awakened Bodies

For committed couples who’ve weathered significant challenges – trauma, fertility struggles, illness, loss, parenting stress, career transitions – but find themselves emotionally and erotically disconnected. This somatic approach guides you back to the intimacy and passion that nourishes your partnership.

Perfect for you if:

You still love each other deeply but feel like roommates
Life’s challenges have dampened your emotional and erotic connection
You want practical tools for healing and rebuilding intimacy
You’re both committed to doing the work together
You miss the passion you once shared

When You Heal, Love Ripples Outward

Your individual healing doesn’t happen in isolation – it serves your capacity to:

Be present for your partner, kids, work colleagues during difficult conversations and challenging situations

Increase your emotional range so you can take in more of life in its challenges and delights

Show up authentically in your friendships, at work and in your larger community

Lead with your heart in your work and purpose

Create the kind of love that heals generational patterns

This is embodied healing in service of the relationships that matter most.

About me

As a trauma survivor who found her way to a beautiful marriage, fulfilling motherhood, and meaningful community, I understand that healing serves love. My journey from fragmentation to wholeness taught me that we don’t heal in isolation – we heal in relationship.

Trained in Somatic Experiencing®, VITA Sex, Love & Relationship Coaching, Ontological Coaching, and Relational Life Couple’s Coaching (in-training) I bring both clinical skill and Brazilian warmth to healing work that expands your capacity for connection.

I live this work: Married to my beloved David, mama to our daughter Isabella, building community in Mill Valley while honoring my Brazilian roots.

Your Relationships Are Worth This Investment

The people and communities you love deserve your most healed, present, erotically alive self. Whether you’re ready for individual transformation or couple’s reconnection, I’m here to guide you home to love.
