Embodied Therapy
Before there are words, there's wordless communication of the body.
The body speaks, but are you listening?
Welcome
Hey, I'm Ruta,
Integrative Somatic therapist.
In the fast-paced world we live in, I create a compassionate space for you to pause, reconnect, and return to your true Self. As an Integrative Somatic Therapist, I guide you through a journey of Self-discovery, offering support to address the emotional, mental and even physical impacts of stress, pain, and life challenges. Through deep insight and embodied awareness, we work together to release trapped energies and cultivate the qualities you wish to embody. Each of us carries a vital essence that, when given the right conditions, naturally heals, shines, and illuminates our whole being. My goal is to help you tap into this inner vitality, fostering wholeness, compassion and balance in your life. In our sessions, I tailor my approach to meet your unique needs, drawing on a range of healing tools I’ve learned over the years. Whether we're addressing specific issues or simply being present with what arises. At the core of my approach is compassion and a wish for you to be your own best friend and a healer so you can live a fulfilling and authentic life.

Internal family systems
I am deeply inspired by Richard Schwartz’s work in Internal Family Systems (IFS) and one of his books - No Bad Parts. Schwartz teaches that our core Self possesses innate qualities—referred to as the 8 C’s of Self-Leadership. These qualities—Curiosity, Calm, Clarity, Compassion, Confidence, Courage, Creativity, and Connection—are the natural essence of who we are. These qualities cannot be diminished by external circumstances, only temporarily hidden from our awareness just like the Sun can be hidden behind the clouds, but the Sun is always there. According to Schwartz, the Self is the healing agent of our inner system, and when we reconnect with these qualities, we activate profound healing and transformation from within.
embodied processing
Embodied Processing is the bottom-up approach to working with trauma, anxiety and a myriad of other difficulties & issues.
Embodied processing is based on latest research in neuroscience, biology, human physiology, evidence and years of experience.
It is a form of body-based psychotherapy that explores the felt-sense experience of living within the body - the container of our experiences.
Latest neuroscience and research now confirms the importance of including the body in trauma therapy and healing. Our cognitive minds desperately try to make sense of sensations in the body, but only by feeling and experiencing the sensations at it's root can we fully come in contact and deeper understanding of how our body & mind are interlinked and what it needs in order for healing to take place. In Embodied Processing (EP) we learn essential skills for healing, resourcing and regulating within the body & nervous system. Which expands our ability to contain sensations within a safe space as well as learning new coping skills and tools to work with emotional discomfort. Ultimately this results in personal growth and empowerment.

In my work, I create a supportive space for you to explore your inner dynamics with compassion and understanding. I draw on somatic parts work, a therapeutic approach that views all parts of the self as having a positive intent, even when that intent isn’t immediately clear. Through gentle exploration, we can uncover the underlying wisdom and purpose of each part, bringing greater integration and balance to your life. My integrative approach combines insights from both ancient traditions and modern neuroscience, particularly around trauma and the nervous system. This allows us to work with your body’s innate capacity and wisdom for healing and growth, addressing not just the mind, but the whole system.
Whether you have a specific goal or challenge you'd like to address, or simply wish to explore whatever arises in the present moment, our work together will be rooted in curiosity, presence, and compassion.

Personal Background
I’m from Lithuania, a small country with a rich history and beautiful nature, but one also shaped by deep collective trauma. Like many in Eastern Europe, I grew up in the shadow of past struggles, where the weight of history is felt in every part of life. This sparked my deep curiosity and passion for understanding the human experience — particularly how we can heal and reconnect with ourselves, others, and the world around us. Over time, I realised something profound yet simple: we all long for safety, connection, authentic expression without judgment, and full acceptance — to be truly seen, heard, and understood and we all want to experience the joy of being alive, I became curious what gets in the way for us feeling how we truly wish to feel?
In my journey, I’ve explored many different paths: psychotherapy, somatic therapy, IFS, shadow work, shamanism, art therapies, energy healing, spirituality, and nutrition. Each step brought me closer to understanding myself, the world around me, and how I could best support others. As you can imagine, it wasn’t always easy, but every piece of the puzzle was necessary for the whole picture to make sense in the end.
This personal transformation led me to become a therapist and healer. I believe healing isn’t just about the mind or body — it’s about the whole person and even the society at large. Over time, I’ve learned to compassionately witness suffering — both my own and others. I’ve come to understand that we have three brains — the head, the heart, and the gut — and that it's important to listen to all of them. For me, my gut initiated my healing journey. I struggled with ongoing gut issues from a young age, and no doctor could explain why. What I came to realise is that the gut doesn’t just process food — it also holds painful emotions which often can manifest physically, by listening to my gut, I also began to digest, process and release emotional blockages I didn’t even know I was carrying, that's what helped me to find long-term relief from long-term gut issues.
It started with me becoming a professional plant-based chef with faith in nutrition about 10 years ago. Through going deeper into nutrition I realised how interconnected our emotions and our gut health are.
For me, healing has been a continuous journey of self-discovery and one that I am still on. I take a compassionate, creative, and intuitive approach — not just with my clients, but also in my own life. I’ve swapped judgment for curiosity. This shift has deepened my understanding and connection with myself and others.
Outside of my work, I have a passion for music, art, spirituality, ancient cultures, yoga, movement, dance, and spending quality time in nature. I also cherish cosy moments at home with my cat and my loving partner.
I found that I truly appreciate peace.

I look forward to hearing from you.
