ABOUT ME
I am Alma, and to sum me up is not a simple task, but I will do my best to convey a bit of my journey since it explains why I do what I do.
I have seeked out many roads throughout my life. I have studied journalism and work psychology and worked in everything from childcare to human resource. In everything I have been seeking to find that place which brings me joy and where I can find myself fully at home. Each time I found myself discontent and thought that the grass was greener on the other side. Maybe my discontent was due to the choice of job or studies I had done, and there was another choice that would bring me that longed for sense of completion.
For many years, I lived in the doing, always striving to outperform myself, to strategize my way through life, thinking my sense of belonging would lay in finding the right company and right career. It took me a long time to realize that what I longed for was nowhere to be found outside of myself, but instead, inside of me.
I know what it means to give your time to everything else but yourself, how it feels to live under the pressure and stress of our demanding society. How it feels to constantly seek that perfection outside, and carrying a longing that with that perfection, a sense of completion and peace will follow. I also know how it feels to break free, to get out of the chains of the mind, and the constructed reality most of us were molded into, entering this life.
For the past 10 years, I have been on a journey of reconnection to myself and my truth, breaking free from what was given to me and finding my own path forward. Reconnecting to the truth of my heart and my body I have gained knowledge in the areas of Embodiment, Tantra, Tao & Shamanism, expanded myself through parts-work, and learnt a lot about trauma. I have done numerous courses, retreats and workshops, learning tools to deepen that relationship with myself. The interest for our human experience that led me to working with people in the organization, has been deepened through my knowledge and studies of embodiment, to meet the human in itself.
Now, I am here, with a passion to support you that feel a silent call to awaken. Awaken to the knowledge that life is so much more than analyzing numbers and checking off todo lists. That life is about being and experiencing that which your heart and soul longs for.
I know this road is not easy. I know it takes an enormous amount of courage to take that leap to dare to hear what your heart is longing for. To sum up the courage to start walking an unknown path. I am here to support you on your journey. Whether you are taking your first scary steps, or have been walking on it for some time, my mission is to support you where you need it the most, simply by helping you find your own truth, your own strength. Helping you empower those parts of you that have been taking a back seat.
If you have read until here, you might have summed up enough courage to meet yourself fully, and I would feel honored to support your journey in whatever way is most aligned to you.
In dedication to your homecoming,
Alma Nayem
ABOUT MY WORK
I use a wide range of tools and practices to help you reconnect to your essence:
Embodiment & Somatic practices
In all my offerings I incorporate somatic practices and embodiment tools. They vary depending on the form of my service and can range from using movement & breathing, to explorations through our senses and surroundings. To experience life somatically and find tools to embody ourselves is the very base of what I offer to shift our experience from mind to body.
Tantric & Meditative practices
The school of tantra and practices of meditation are two important modalities I use since they offer a different experience to life, and have the power to create a new relationship to our body. Through both movement and stillness we explore acceptance and presence within our bodily temples.
Medicine Music & Shamanism
In many of my services I offer shamanic practices such as conscious dreaming, visualizations and medicine music as ways to manifest our dreams and desires and process & transform our felt reality and emotions. This is sometimes incorporated in guidance sessions, or in my personal retreats & events. Follow me on social media to see some of my medicine music videos.
Nature & the elements
To connect to both nature and the elements are at the core of my work, since they are the essence of our earth and therefore reflect and mirror our own essence as human beings. There is tremendous medicine and teachings that can be received through connecting to nature and working with the elements, and this is also an aspect of my shamanic processes. I incorporate this into everything that I do, by offering guidance and tools on how you can find constant support through the nature that surrounds you, and the nature that is inside of you.
Ceremony & Rituals
Celebrating rites of passage and having rituals to support our growth and transitions is yet another base ingredient in my work. I dedicate myself into living life ceremoniously and one of my main missions is to support you in finding what elements and rituals at hand can support the passages of your personal journey and help you find the ways to both celebrate yourself and create your own rituals of transition. There is not a one size fits all, but it is about finding your own symbolic language and creating the rituals and ceremonies that align for you in each step of the way.
