  • “I had the pleasure of experiencing an Orthobionomy session with Ben and it was nothing short of transformative. I felt a deep sense of calm and trust in his experience. During the session Ben displayed an incredible understanding of the body and its energy systems. He tailored the treatment to my specific needs addressing areas of tension and discomfort that I didn’t even realize were affecting me. His intuitive touch combined with professional technique worked wonders on my stress points.
    I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a truly healing body work experience.”

    - Paola, Carrum

  • “Going into my first session of Access Bars I wasn’t sure what to expect. However, after my session with Ben I was completely converted. The experience was mind-blowing and other worldly, offering therapeutic, insightful, spiritual and mental benefits.
    I highly recommend Ben; he is incredibly knowledgeable, intuitive and passionate about his craft. I’ve continued to see him regularly and appreciate how he customizes his approach to best suit my needs. Ben is a phenomenal individual with a true gift and I cannot recommend him enough – he is the real deal.”

    - Johnny, Carrum

  • “I have always been skeptical towards holistic practices until working with Ben completely changed my perspective. As an active person with the history of injuries I’ve had many an encounter with conventional practices. However, I was surprised by how beneficial Ben’s approach was. He is incredibly attentive not only towards the theory behind his work but also the experience itself.

    I had the pleasure of experiencing his Access Bars which left me in awe. it was the state of Nevada and calm I didn’t know I could achieve.”

Hi, I’m Ben — founder of Soma Hermetica and a Certified Ortho-Bionomy® Practitioner, Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist, and Access Bars® Practitioner, with a background in mental health nursing.

My work is shaped by a personal journey of healing and embodiment. After experiencing multiple injuries in early life — including a dislocated tailbone, head trauma, and chronic spinal imbalances — I spent years feeling disconnected from my body. These challenges led me to explore healing traditions from around the world, searching for a deeper understanding of how we mend, grow, and come home to ourselves.

When I discovered Ortho-Bionomy® in 2013, something clicked. It wasn’t about fixing the body — it was about listening. That changed everything. Over time, my approach evolved to weave in elements of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, energetic awareness, yogic philosophy, and non-dual (Advaita Vedanta) meditation — creating a grounded yet spacious way of

working with the body that honours both its form and its subtle intelligence.

Soma Hermetica grew from this discovery — a space where healing is collaborative, comfort is central, and body wisdom is honoured. Whether through hands-on therapy or online sessions, I support people in reconnecting with their bodies, releasing tension, and rediscovering ease, clarity, and vitality from within.

Because when we learn to find comfort in the body and deepen into embodiment, something greater unfolds — a richer emotional intelligence, a clearer sense of self, and a more authentic connection to life, to others, and to the truth that lives within us.
