Say hello to The Core Rising practitioners.

Maggie Hayes

Bio: Maggie is a trained somatic practitioner with a focus on nervous system healing and trauma recovery. She guides body-based practice including somatic movement, body work, breathwork and experiential meditation to cultivate a deeper relationship with the Self. She sequences these tools in a way that makes sense for your nervous system to receive and deconstruct conditioning and adaptive behaviors. Her intention is to hold the space for you to create the environment where you naturally evolve from being the person you learned you had to be, into the one you really are. 

Story: My “healing journey” really began in 2012 - when I was tired of feeling like a mess, and not in control of my life. Throughout the following 10+ years I would shift from a career in media + politics into yoga + somatic healing, unpack repressed memories of childhood trauma, commit deeply to my recovery, and completely change all aspects of my life.. multiple times! Every single step I have taken has brought me into closer, more intimate connection with the Truth, with My Truth, with a deeply rooted sense of safety within myself, with the capacity to fully express and embrace all that I am… and with a burning desire to share this work with the world.

Masha Pilipenko

Bio: Masha is a certified Breathwork Facilitator and Somatic Coach. Her sessions weave together various somatic modalities as well as intuitive guidance, and provide space for empowerment, transformative clarity and expanded awareness.

Story: I set out on the path of holistic healing and wellness as the result of facing a profound crisis of meaning a number of years ago. This point of rupture - which turned out to be a life-changing invitation to journey inwards - led me to leave behind a career in the non-profit (together with pretty much my entire life) and devote all my energy to the exploration of my own self through a variety of tools that I am now using to support others in their journeys.

My central belief is that deep down, we always know. We know what we need, what we want, who we are and who we aren’t, what’s aligned, what no longer is and why. Guiding first, myself, and then my clients towards this pure, deeper knowing has become my personal mission and the point of my practice. I believe whole-heartedly that there is no limit to what we can create of our lives and the ways in which we can experience our essence.
