Peta Thompson
:: Somatic Therapy Practitioner, Workshops, Events, Trainings ::
My path has never followed a straight line. I joined the military at 17 and became a skydiver at 16, competing in formation skydiving competitions, coaching teams, and guiding thousands of people through their first taste of body flight. Freefall was where I first learned the language of flow, presence, attunement, and moving my body in relation to others.
After living with chronic pain, a depleted adrenal system, and burnout for over 15 years, I found my way back to myself through yoga, somatic practices, nervous system education, plant medicine, and the power of embodiment.
I now guide group experiences rooted in embodiment, nervous system awareness, and self-inquiry, workshops, trainings, and community spaces where we move, breathe, feel, and remember together. I also host How’d You Do It?, a podcast that shares real, raw stories of healing and resilience from people who’ve walked through the fire and found their way forward.
At the core of all my work is a deep respect for the intelligence of the body, the healing potential of altered states, and the transformative power of being witnessed in your truth.
This is the heart of it, a space to land, to feel, to reconnect with your own aliveness.
Offerings
My Books Are Closed for Somatic Therapy
My work is rooted in embodiment, nervous system awareness, and storytelling. These days, you’ll mostly find me in group settings, facilitating movement and somatic workshops at festivals and community gatherings such as Shambhala Music Festival, Wicked Woods, and the Kootenay Wellness Festival.
I also host How’d You Do It?, a podcast that shares real, unfiltered stories of resilience, healing, and transformation.
Alongside that, I lead trainings and occasional retreats that weave together yoga, meditation, breath, and somatic practices. I offer psychedelic integration support, and from time to time collaborate with soul-led entrepreneurs behind the scenes, bringing structure and clarity to their vision.
While I’ve stepped back from regular 1:1 client work, my focus is now on group spaces, collaboration, and creating experiences that help people reconnect with themselves and each other.
If something here resonates, I’d love to connect.
PODCAST
:: How'd You Do It - Stories of Resilience::
For thousands of years, storytelling has been woven into the fabric of human existence, serving as a guiding light through the complexities of life as far back as the most ancient of cultures. In today’s fast-paced world, gathering around a fire to share stories is becoming a distant memory. Throughout my own journey, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know some of the most incredibly inspiring people whose stories will crack you open. Their journeys are not just tales of survival, but profound testaments to the undeniable resilience of the human spirit. Welcome to How’d You Do It: a podcast dedicated to the timeless art of storytelling, where stories of resilience come to life, igniting a spark of hope and reminding us of our innate capacity to overcome adversity and embrace the fullness of life.
