Ottavia
Welcome to Heaven Earth Connection! My name is Ottavia Mazzoni and I am an energy and somatic therapist. I believe healing to be a very personal journey into the Self, a fluid and dynamic process which often will uncover aspects of ourselves we were not aware of and which invariably will allow us to deepen our connection to ourselves and others. In this sense healing does not necessarily correspond to curing in the widely accepted sense of the term, neither can it be expected to happen at once; in fact it is always a journey: you know where you stand when you begin, but it is not possible to know where you will be heading once you have taken the first steps. Healing requires a strong commitment to oneself and courage to explore the source of the pain which we have been avoiding out of fear.
I also believe that there isn't such a thing as 'one size fits all' healing therapy. This is because we are all inherently different and our personal stories need to be told within different healing contexts and using a diverse selection of words and symbols. Similar experiences take on a completely different meaning when lived by different people. Therefore my aim is to create a safe and contained space where I can attend to your needs, listening to your story and gently supporting you as you turn inwards to explore that which wants to be witnessed, heard, let go of or integrated. You will only be asked to go as far as you feel ready to go at any given time and I will never push you to go any faster than what feels right or to go anywhere you do not feel comfortable going. In this contained and gently held space your emotions, sensations, thoughts and experiences will be allowed to unfold gently, almost without your realising it...and you will find a new sense of vitality and peace within.

Ottavia is a wonderful, healer. I went into a VERY deep state where I felt all my tensions release and disperse. I left with a totally different body and mind from when I arrived. (Melanie)
Energy and Somatic Healing
Through my energy and somatic healing practice I help people who feel overwhelmed by symptoms of unresolved grief, acute and chronic anxiety, depression, physical pain and stress to overcome their difficulties. My aim is to create a compassionate and safe space where you can discuss freely your needs and be met with understanding and non judgement. I will then devise a personalised treatment using a combination of energy, somatic and spiritual healing techniques as well as counselling. I also include elements of Somatic Experiencing®, based on the work of Dr Peter Levine. This is a pioneering approach to physical and psychological symptoms of stress, shock and trauma based on observations of wildlife and their response to threat, working with the body’s natural self-regulating systems. Knowledge of trauma’s patterns can both help transform traumatic reactions as well as potentially prevent symptoms developing after an overwhelming event.

The sessions were transformative and felt incredibly healing in the purest sense of the word. There were some very dark and scary feelings which I needed to work out. Ottavia made me feel incredibly safe without protecting me from these feelings which I had been avoiding... Don’t expect to turn up and passively ‘get healed’ Instead, Ottavia invites you to bravely explore healing while she never leaves your side. (Alex)
I can’t tell you how different it was to share with you yesterday and to feel properly heard, for the first time. I have never talked like that with anyone so it’s a great start. I feel a little lighter and I feel hope. (Georgie)
