The invitation I work with people—both in person and online—who are ready to reconnect with themselves, reclaim their body’s wisdom and awaken the fullness of who they truly are. If you feel drawn to this work or would like to explore working together, I invite you to reach out. Together, let’s return— To the body. To the Earth. To community. To our intuition and inner knowing. To the sacred stories only we can live and tell. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/c6b81bf4-32f7-4042-972d-2c86f601898c/ABCB2E86-1746-49C3-894B-299ABB01863E.jpeg About - Returning to wholeness through heartfelt stories and the feminine healing arts. My writing and films explore themes of embodied wisdom, holistic healing and community development through a soulful, intimate lens. They invite reflection, foster empathy and awaken a deeper sense of interconnectedness—bridging personal transformation with collective experience to promote healing, cooperation and inspired action. I'm especially drawn to the liminal spaces—those in-between spaces where transformation begins and the forgotten can be remembered. As a holistic therapist, I blend intuitive dance, womb healing, energy and bodywork, Mayan astrology, rituals and ceremonies to support reconnection—to inner wisdom, nature’s rhythms and authentic expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/da9fa2d1-7a1f-4d32-970e-e1fb935ee638/445762647_10168528010790585_841781627238059000_n.jpg About - I walk beside you on the path of remembrance, healing and embodiment, through holistic practices, intuitive guidance and soulful storytelling. http://www.sarinearslanian.com/themayanpath daily 0.75 2025-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1540889007509-K6RAHR8BZSLPB0SRTI8Q/Medicina+Maya+%C2%A9+Sarine+Arslanian The Mayan Path The Maya path is not a religion. It is a way of living. There are twenty-one Maya languages in Guatemala alone, and within each linguistic group, there are nine inches of knowledge. Some of the ancestral wisdom has been lost, but not everything. Today, more than ever, people everywhere are realising the importance of reconnecting with their roots. Because just like plants, we are only as strong as our root system. The Maya path is there to offer us guidance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1558025928114-MNYJFMIPHZWKVWK89X94/_DSC5383.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1558025875274-08Q8MNOWQ5IITX4L4BDW/_DSC5414.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1540894275260-UD8HCX29D5VBVZWRNS4D/DSC05597.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1540894214469-6NRV16BP5AR24IFT5Q8D/DSC05533.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1540895185985-C33OZNQ34HIHR03EG7DW/sacred+fire1.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1540894217804-G902ZW6FYEGYL3TP9PUO/12.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1540894289555-L61ZJQAWZ85NOEGPG0Y5/DSC05713.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1540894402873-51XIPSJY0AHNG8D4A8WU/DSC05793.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1558024926367-U1RGOQ9XXH8870MDP5AV/2.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1558024932084-0APQ1GMJ7TSU5G8GWNV4/DSC05732.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1558025646206-QIKM12NPCHQHZVSD0I7S/_DSC5417.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1558025645850-W8SSJTTUSYSNA5BBBNIU/1.jpg The Mayan Path https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1726841505503-BO8I664ZW5LC8CRLU6BA/2+%281%29.jpg The Mayan Path http://www.sarinearslanian.com/welcome daily 1.0 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/104726d9-6ad6-4956-b41f-6e09f123f2f1/EF79EE3D-D2BD-4E9E-BE8D-57F1CB27FEC2-2.jpg WELCOME Here, healing is sacred.

The mind races, the world demands, and somewhere along the way, the sacred slips into the background. But our bodies remember. When we step into a space where movement becomes prayer, each step, each sway, each breath is an invitation back to presence… into communion with something vast, alive and timeless. Through soulful, embodied movement and the wisdom of Nature, we return to feeling, to knowing, to being. The sacred is never apart from us. It is here, in the curve of our spines, in the rain on our skin, in the way the Earth holds us with every step. Let’s allow our dance to reshape the way we see, feel and move through the world. Let it awaken the reverence that has always lived within us. Let it bring us into sacred communion. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/6a6ff056-51d2-4aef-9839-b27b949fde2f/23_Sarine-5201.jpg Dance Meditation & Somatic Movement Exploration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1723718881480-0UM30FGS6NSW7XI7M2DL/1K9A5357.jpg Dance Meditation & Somatic Movement Exploration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1726159786417-NJYOR77HW4RTE7D9BYU3/unsplash-image-bU_u6Ve703w.jpg Dance Meditation & Somatic Movement Exploration http://www.sarinearslanian.com/mayan-astrology daily 0.75 2025-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1726841505503-BO8I664ZW5LC8CRLU6BA/Mayan+Ceremony+%C2%A9+Sarine+Arslanian Mayan Astrology - What energy and gifts do I bring into this world? ࿐ What is my soul’s mission and emotional drive? ࿐ How can I work with my shadows and challenges? ࿐ How do I walk my unique path to harmony and love? ࿐ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/f1764460-7d3c-4ac8-876d-05068f2c88fb/NIK_8059.jpg Mayan Astrology “Sarine’s deep knowledge and intuitive approach illuminated aspects of my life path and personality in ways I hadn’t expected.

She carries such a radiant, grounding energy—warm, inviting, and deeply intuitive. From the moment I stepped into her space, I felt safe and supported, which meant so much as someone who isn’t naturally comfortable with vocal release. Sarine has an incredible ability to tune into where the body is holding onto trauma or tension, gently guiding you toward release with both skill and intuition. From the music she selects to the way she moves through the session, everything feels intentional and deeply attuned. I could physically feel energy shifting—knots unraveling, tension dissolving, and a lightness settling in where there was once. If you’re seeking somatic massage and release from someone who truly sees and understands the body’s deeper layers, I highly recommend her.” — Sophia, USA https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1738952858258-SO02XX53SISYTMKRYV7T/unsplash-image-pYaKs30p9zg.jpg Somatic Bodywork - If you're feeling stressed, carrying emotional weight or yearning to unwind and reconnect with your body and inner self, somatic bodywork provides holistic support on your journey of reconnection and deep healing! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1743453866761-WGMSM3U9MNW1XCQCMJ93/unsplash-image-InUYQB-68Nw.jpg Somatic Bodywork http://www.sarinearslanian.com/womb-massage daily 0.75 2025-05-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1723720530873-Z3IKS6GRVPVTQ8ZWQM5P/Womb+Healing+with+Sarine Womb Massage - Blending ancient rituals with hands-on holistic practices, such as womb massage, emotional release tools and energy work, to support you on your journey of expansion into the fullness of who and what you are. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/51a96692-2dae-4bb3-b982-e2d0145699b4/Sarine+Arslanian Womb Massage - Testimonial “Namaste Sarine, I am so grateful for the experience with you.

I was navigating the aftermath of sexual trauma, struggling with severe knee pain, chronic gastritis and a deep sense of disconnection. My energy felt drained, and I no longer recognised the vitality I once had. In my search for something deeper—a way to reconnect with myself, heal and find peace from within—Reiki found me. Since my first experience with Usui Reiki in 2016, I’ve been on a journey of profound transformation— physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. Reiki helped me release the pain I had been carrying for so long, restoring balance and vitality in my body and reconnecting me with my innate wisdom. It awakened a deep understanding of myself and the energy that flows through all of us. Through Reiki, I found the healing and expansion I needed, and it became my calling to help others do the same. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/7ecdee1d-c613-40ae-a132-ba912d4ef642/DSC05207.JPG Reiki Healing - Experience Deep Healing & Alignment with Usui Reiki By restoring the free flow of life force energy within your body, Reiki helps you awaken to the wholeness that’s always been within you. This deeply nurturing holistic practice supports stress relief, emotional balance, mental clarity and spiritual growth. Rather than just addressing symptoms, Reiki works on the root causes of imbalance. It clears outdated patterns, limiting beliefs, repressed emotions and any energy causing disruption, flushing out stress and dis-ease. When these energetic blockages are released, physical symptoms often dissolve as a natural consequence of the healing process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/bc168648-4c2a-4ed5-a745-a989bad7d72a/DSC05049.JPG Reiki Healing - Is Reiki Right for You? Reiki is not only for times when we feel out of balance. It is for anyone who longs to deepen their connection with themselves, expand their energy and cultivate greater insight and creativity. Whether you’re navigating stress, seeking clarity or simply longing to move through life with more alignment, Reiki offers a doorway to transformation through deep presence and the quiet intelligence of universal life force energy and your own being. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/09d40796-7ed1-46d4-b7f2-85ca6275c15c/DSC05241.jpg Reiki Healing - How Does a Reiki Session Work?

Rooted in personal and collective memory, Doon is a cinematic offering to the body’s knowing and the subtle spaces where transformation begins—a creative act of remembrance, resilience and return—honouring the resilience of diasporic identity and the quiet power of embodied expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/09fbf26c-8adc-4c01-9dde-b805a7a29ee2/Doon+3.png Doon http://www.sarinearslanian.com/embodied-desert-retreat-registration-form daily 0.75 2025-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/bf4fcc1b-4b93-42df-b02d-e2f3505f0145/_LOU0748.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form - Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form November 16–23, 2025 | From Marrakech to the dunes of Southern Morocco https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1751291285768-G10DN77IE0MWD10X245H/_LOU0767.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1751291293848-J47FM1GLE44ZOXA925Z4/_LOU1038.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1751291369567-KGOGVPUHFKBDBZ6M0K1S/81a49848-f253-44be-8530-76efdfee2d70.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/1751291287045-S9LN19NB25ER3VL7AMN9/_LOU0896.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/62a2386c-0da7-4493-acb6-54bbfb40b765/20250121_135258.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/a2261e4f-2653-4398-8dc5-349fa4500ec0/20250120_120457.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/56258cf6e4b08b3753658cfc/7a919304-6fbe-43a6-aef0-868bc8433b30/_LOU0961.jpg Embodied Desert Retreat Registration Form - ✧ How to Pay ✧ Wise (Preferred for International Transfers): wise.com/pay/me/sarinea3 You can also search for me using @sarinea3 PayPal: paypal.me/SarineArslanian or send to sarine11@icloud.com (Please ensure to cover any PayPal fees) European Bank Transfers: Bank details available upon request — just get in touch to receive them securely.
