We are Aotearoa Embodiment Collective
A community of wellness practitioners dedicated to reconnecting you with
nature, your self and your body.
Welcome to our shared space.
We invite you to feel at home in the intimate & healing studio space we have created. This is a space for small groups to connect deeply with one another, drop into the body & connect with the inner self. The space is aimed for community events, professionals with private clients, and budding practitioners who are starting up and want a small, low-commitment venue in which to try their services before finding their feet.
We have memberships prices and one-off booking options.
We have hosted a range of events and services such as tauma therapy, pelvic floor reconnect, embodied voice, dance, private coaching, trainings, counselling, capoeira practice, group meditation practices, kirtan, sound healing, yoga, women's circles, men's circles, acro workshops, massage therapy and more.

A loving held space with attuned touch and presence are her gifts… from there she invites you to allow your mind to surrender and be open to healing.

Miriam Marler (she/her, Pākehā) is a Movement Facilitator/Educator, Somatic Therapy Practitioner and Bodyworker based in Ōtepoti, Dunedin. Her personal and professional journey through dance and somatic practices have taken her to wonderful & wild creative places and led to profound understandings of mind-body. She has learnt that our bodies hold many of the keys that support deep healing towards wholeness, expansion & creative expression - and this is what she is passionate about sharing with the world.
Key Skills:
The thread that runs through Miriam's offerings is around the innate wisdom of our bodies: the somatic, embodied experience of our human organism as a part of the wider world & our social environment. Turning towards this wisdom through mindful & body-based practices affects how we show up in our lives & in the world. When we are empowered and connected to our senses, feelings & needs, we can see how we can respond, choose, create & interrelate.
Miriam is currently working on making her work accessible to those with ACC sensitive claims and working out how she can be more aware & actively counter social injustice through her mahi.
