Welcome to Restore Somatica.
We are an IICT-approved breathwork and foundational somatics training school devoted to redefining the standard of breathwork education through the lens of female physiology, nervous system safety, and embodied breathwork + somatic practices.
Our work is grounded in the understanding that evolution + change does not unfold the same way for men + women, in fact female physiology has been severely overlooked in most areas of healing.
Founded by Lexy and Jim Maturana, Restore Somatica was born from over two decades of combined experience in health, wellness, somatics, and transformational work, alongside a shared devotion to a no bull-shit approach at returning people to the wisdom of the body and breath in a way that is both ethical and sustainable.
Our curriculum has been shaped by decades of education, facilitation and thousands of hours working with women, but also through the lived experience of Lexy’s own mental and physical health crisis. During this time Lexy made an unavoidable realisation that traditional approaches to breathwork + somatic healing were missing something essential: a nuanced understanding of female biology and trauma and what women really required to truly harness the power of themselves.
Women’s physiology, hormonal rhythms, relational wiring, trauma responses, and lived experiences require more than a one-size-fits-all approach. They require more sovereignty, expression and discernment as well as environments that support the body rather than overwhelm it.
We believe breathwork can be a powerful step in the direction of understanding yourself from a perspective that is rarely accessed in everyday life. It creates a unique physiological experience in your mind + body that allows you to access the self in a profound way.
We also dont rely on intensity to create change, rather our programs and practitioner certification
is rooted in regulated, trauma-aware facilitation that honours embodiment, emotional safety,
integration, and long-term transformation.
Restore Somatica exists for those who know a return to the body is deeply needed – and who feel called to help shape a new standard for what is possible within breathwork, healing, and human transformation.
Absolutely not. This training is for those who recognise that men and women have different nervous systems and want to facilitate women in the most educated + safest way possible.
