The Slower Way
A slow sanctuary to build self-trust, and reclaim your time
You are a woman is always on the go, who does it all, or at least, you make it look effortless. But inside, you feel like you’re not doing enough.
You feel overwhelmed by the fullness of life, and fall into the trap of being productive: the endless to-do-lists, people to respond to, and the constant pressure be doing something all of the time, which makes you feel exhausted, and not excited.
You push, strive, and hustle, but despite working hard, and moving fast, you still feel disconnected from the present moment, and your heart feels unfulfilled.
You’ve tried everything: talking therapy, CBT, The Artist’s Way, and you still find it hard to intentionally slow down, rest, or reconnect to your feminine flow.
You crave a slower paced life where you can have pockets of stillness and silence to just be. Your heart longs for freedom, ease, joy, and feeling reconnect to your natural rhythm.
You’ve been carrying the toxic weight of internalised capitalist systems that equates your success to productivity, consumption and ownership for too long. You are ready to detangle your sense of self-worth from your career and discover what true fulfilment, and a meaningful life tastes like for you!

Why I created The Slower Way
Hey love, I’m Poonam.
I know what it feels like to live in overdrive: constantly creating, doing, trying to hold it all together, while quietly yearning for more spaciousness, softness, and a life that actually feels like yours.
I’ve been there, in the cycles of hyper-productivity and burnout, where rest feels hard and joy feels so far away. I spent years in the future foresight industry, predicting what's next, while feeling deeply disconnected from the present. Until I chose to stop striving, and start listening.
Now, as a somatic coach and multidisciplinary artist, I hold sacred space for hyper-productive women, who are ready to slow down and come home to themselves. My work is rooted in Somatic healing, Shakti wisdom and Feminine embodiment.
I created The Slower Way as a sanctuary for hyper-productive women who want to shed the pressure to perform, soften into their natural rhythm, build self-trust from the inside out, and detangle the notions of success from the capitalist, linear systems.
This is where we slow down together.
Where we honour the sacred wisdom in your resistance, the beauty in your sensitivity, and the strength in your softness.
I bring warmth, compassion, and my full humanness into every session. Together, we’ll transform the noise of “not enough” into a quiet, grounded confidence rooted in your body, your truth, and your creative soul.
You don’t have to do more to be worthy.
You get to rest, and rest.
And you can balance being and doing.
Bring your favourite candle and blanket
Make a cosy tea, and
Welcome to The Slower Way. I’m so happy you’re here with me.
Imagine you’ve created the spaciousness to surrender, to reconnect to your body, your intuition, and your creative flow.
You’ve reclaimed your time, space and energy.
You feel grounded, present, and rest without feeling guilty.
You lean back, surrender, and trust the unfolding of your life, instead of constantly striving and chasing.
Client testimonials
“Poonam’s trust, warmth, kindness and ability to listen and create a safe and trusting environment where you’re able to be yourself and share authentically really supported me. She’s a knowledgeable facilitator who creates a multi-sensory experience to connect with your body and senses. During and since the sessions, I’ve been able to show up online more authentically. Story telling has supported my voice and has been a tool to further process my world. I feel more in tune with listening and experiencing what’s right for me. This has really helped me trust myself, trust my voice, and leaning into loving and trusting myself more.”
— Therapist
“Our members felt entirely supported by Poonam through the session, and this was a rare occasion for creative-led wellbeing and encouragement which did not focus on 'the grind'. A rare and much needed space for reflection, encouragement and realising that you are indeed on the right journey.”
— Senior Project Manager, Metal Arts
“Poonam is a beam of light. She holds a safe, beautiful, cocoon to connect with yourself, let go and explore what's coming up for you in a place with no judgment and process how you're feeling. Somatic coaching has resonated with me on a deeper level, more than any other coaching/ therapy ever has... I discovered its for me. I am so grateful for the space you created for me to heal, to come back to myself, and to become the more authentic version of myself that I've always been. I didn’t know it was possible to connect with myself in a deep way.”
— Jewellery Designer & Curator
“Poonam’s sun-like energy supported me through the process. Her capacity to hold what is and value it and see it for its richness is healing to experience in itself. I felt a deep sense of being seen and validated in my existence. Being seen as a poet and an artist without needing to justify anything, too. Being 100% seen for what I am - all my masks of ordinary social pretence fall off. not feeling any need or pressure to act or perform. Being supported for what simply is. connecting over sensitivity to the more-than-material world. Our work allowed to settle muddy waters and give power to a sense of self. I feel it was part of me regaining access to my consciousness and trusting my voice and gut feeling; I see that as inscribed in my process of decolonising myself.”
— Poet & artist
“Poonam was absolutely flawless in every way. She held the space with innate charm and gravitas, and created a space which allowed people to share openly and vulnerably.”
— Account Director, Saatchi & Saatchi
“I was struggling with noticing and connecting with emotions and physical sensations in my body. I often spiral when I get stuck in my head, and paying attention to my body more helps to ground me in the here and now. I wanted to try a neck-down approach, as talking therapy alone wasn’t shifting any feelings stuck in my body. Our process involved checking in with the body and describing what emotions, images or words were coming up in the moment. What supported me most was feeling safe and held in the space. I didn’t feel judged which was important in helping me to open up more. After working with Poonam, I feel more more in tune with my body, and have learnt to listen to and honour my own truth more.”

One of the key aspects of facilitating an embodied space is that I need to see your faces and body languages to sense the space and attune to the somatic information that comes from body language.
I kindly ask you to keep your cameras on, you are welcome to switch off for a short time, for instance if you need to pop to the loo, make a cuppa, grab a snack, organise your space etc.
