North Norfolk · By Appointment · Est. MMXXIV
Your body has been waiting for this.
Our Approach
The body remembers everything. Our work is to help it begin to forget what no longer serves.
Numa was founded on the conviction that healing lives in safe, attuned touch. Twelve years of trauma-informed practice shape every ritual offered here — a private studio set quietly on the edge of Aylsham, where the work begins long before a hand is laid.
Tucked into the hush of North Norfolk, the studio is held by old walls, soft light and the slow weather of the coast. Three modalities anchor the practice: a slow, sculpting facial, an Ayurvedic ritual rooted in lineage, and SOMA breathwork — each chosen for what it asks of the nervous system.
Every detail is calibrated to the person on the table. The atmosphere, the music, the oils pressed for your constitution, the warm drink waiting after — nothing is incidental. Wellness here is a conversation, not a transaction.

The Numa Philosophy
Your nervous system holds every story. This is where it begins to let them go.
Trauma-informed practice means we follow your lead. Nothing is done to you; everything is done with you. The pace is set by your nervous system, never by the clock on the wall.
Touch here is a sacred agreement — an invitation that can be paused, softened, or set down at any moment. The work begins the moment you feel safe enough to settle.

I left feeling like I had been given my body back. There is such depth of knowledge and care in every touch — I have never experienced anything quite like it.
