Bodies of Medicine

Bodies of Medicine is a 10 week Practitioner Development Mentorship rooted in Indigenous and culturally informed somatics.  

Seasoned Somatic Practitioners, Bodyworkers, and Teachers, Nazbah Tom and Fayza Bundalli lead an intimate group of BIPOC Practitioners through an experiential arc of somatic practices grounded in Nazbah’s Diné cosmologies and Fayza’s South Asian and Muslim cosmologies.  

Bodies of Medicine dives deep into ritual, hands-on bodywork (each person working on their own body), and practice returning to a mutual relationship with land; participants will over the 10 weeks strengthen their relationships with their selves, with others, and with land.

  • Praise for Bodies of Medicine

    “This mentorship was everything--beautiful, tender, awe-full, anchoring. Fayza and Nazbah hold space with such intentional care. … Bodies of Medicine was one of very few spaces I've felt comfortable enough to unfurl completely as a brown queer disabled femme and allow myself to simply be. I'm so incredibly excited to continue this work, carrying all that I've learned from this mentorship - orienting to aliveness, leaning into longing, stepping into invitations to move differently, softer, slower.”

  • Praise for Bodies of Medicine

    “Bodies of Medicine was a deeply meaningful experience for me. It was a space of singular safety, allowing levels of authenticity and exploration that I haven't experienced to this degree before in somatic practice spaces. Nazbah and Fayza offer a rich, juicy and nourishing facilitation that speaks to how our individual somas are intertwined with our ancestors and lineages and the land. Not only did I experience deep healing throughout the sessions, but I was very able to enrich my own work as a practitioner through the teachings and practices we embodied.”
