JOANNA BARNES
My passion is to guide women into deep gnosis and embodied connection with their bodies and womb space.
The womb is the source of our creative potential and wisdom. She is our inner temple of truth, intuition, and power.
I have trained in many bodywork modalities over the years including Integrative Womb Hara Massage, Shamanic Womb Massage, Womb Healing Training - Sacred anointing, Yoni steaming, Womb wrapping.
I am also trained as a CCB breathwork practitioner, Thai Yoga Massage, and Aromatherapy therapist.
The womb has now become my place of student and teacher.
I have been called to spiral deeper in order to help others awaken. This is my life's journey and purpose to serve and support women.
I respectfully thank my teachers Natalie Zuckerman @ Institute of Feminine Arts for leading me home to my womb and for allowing me space to grow.
I am proud to say I am the Associate Teacher for the Integrative Womb Hara Massage Practitioner Training in the UK & Europe, and the support teacher on the 9 moon apprenticeship for Institute of Feminine Arts.

INTEGRATIVE WOMB HARA MASSAGE
Integrative Womb Hara Massage is a sacred temple massage that works on all levels: physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Designed to gently release tension and trauma stored in the body’s tissues, this massage supports deep restoration, reconnection, and energetic realignment.
This massage is rooted in Ancient Wisdom and was created by the Institute of the Feminine Arts:
Womb Hara massage integrates both Eastern and Western traditions, including:
-
Chi Nei Tsang (Taoist abdominal massage)
-
Shamanic womb healing practices.
-
Embodied feminine art of sacred intuitive touch.
-
Feminine soul retrieval, using rebozo type scarves.
-
Moxabustion (when needed)
-
Guided womb journeys & sound healing.
We focus on the abdominal, sacral, and womb areas to stimulate the flow of Chi—your vital life force energy—clearing blockages and stagnant energy. This allows the nervous system to shift from "fight or flight" into deep relaxation and balance, restoring harmony between the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems.
In this deeply nurturing space, we will explore the Spirit Gateways of the Womb and Hara, awakening your creative and birthing potential in all its forms—whether physical, emotional, or spiritual. You will be gently guided to reconnect with the wisdom and intelligence of your womb and abdominal organs, cultivating a deep sense of presence and embodiment. This experience is supported by the Womb Medicine Wheel, a profound map that allows us to access healing, clarity, and insight from your feminine blueprint—reclaiming your intuitive power and creative essence held in the womb, heart, and crown.
Who is this for?
This therapy is deeply nourishing and beneficial for all women, regardless of age or life stage. Whether you're seeking support for emotional healing, fertility, menstrual balance, menopause, or simply a deeper connection to your feminine spirit—this work meets you where you are.
You will leave feeling grounded, emotionally supported, and energetically aligned—connected more fully with your body’s wisdom and your sacred centre.

FEMININE SOUL RETRIEVAL
(using rebozo type scarves)
This is a deeply nurturing and sacred experience, offering you the space to unwind, relax, and return to the innate wholeness within your womb and body. It is a gentle yet powerful practice that invites the return of any soul fragments or lost parts of self that may have become disconnected through trauma or emotional wounding.
During the session, your body will be lovingly wrapped in Rebozo scarves—traditional woven cloths that cradle you much like a baby swaddled in safety, or as if held once more in the womb—completely cocooned, safe, and held.
You will be guided into a state of deep rest, allowing your nervous system to settle and your body to soften. In this space of stillness and surrender, you are given the time and support to call back and reclaim parts of yourself that may feel lost, fragmented, or ungrounded.
This journey is especially supportive for women who have experienced loss, grief, miscarriage, stress, nervous system dis-regulation, or hysterectomy. It is an invitation to heal, reconnect, and remember your inner wholeness.
If you are seeking this session in relation to a specific trauma, please message Joanna before booking, so we can hold space with the care, intention, and sensitivity your healing journey deserves.

SHAMANIC WOMB JOURNEY - in person or online
A Womb Shamanic Journey is a sacred inner pilgrimage into the deep wisdom of your womb space—the energetic and spiritual center of feminine power, intuition, and creation. Guided through breath, sound, visualization, and intuitive connection, this journey allows you to access the ancestral memory, emotional imprints, and soul messages held within your womb. It is a powerful process of remembering and reclaiming your feminine wisdom, clearing energetic blockages, and awakening your creative potential. As you journey through the layers of your womb's landscape, you may meet spirit guides, receive insight, or experience deep emotional release, all held in a safe, nurturing, and sacred container. This practice supports healing, transformation, and a profound reconnection with your inner temple and the divine feminine within.

POSTPARTUM IMMERSION
After a woman has given birth this period is know as postpartum or the 4th trimester. This time is still revered in many traditions as just as an important time as pregnancy. This is a time when a woman needs to honour her body and give it the time it needs to heal. Modern mothers are prematurely pushed to “bounce back” and are often left alone to face the physical and emotional challenges of this new stage of their lives. During this time for recovery 40 days has been traditionally seen as the amount of days a female postpartum body needs to recover and to also give the ‘new’ mother time to connect with her new born. Women experience a whole mind, body and spirit change upon birth and can be left feeling depleted energetically and physically.
A postpartum immersion into nourishing and nurturing the body after giving birth. The package consists of a welcome Rose Cacao, Foot Massage and sacred anointing, Womb Hara Massage, Feminine Soul Retrieval Wrapping and soothing Sound Healing. New mothers need time to themselves and to feel held and supported into this new stage of their lives.
