About your facilitator
Carla Versitano
Wellness Consultant | Yoga and Somatic Educator
I’m a yoga teacher, movement educator, and trauma-aware somatic practitioner with a lifelong passion for helping people reconnect with their bodies and build emotional resilience.
For more than 20 years, I’ve developed and facilitated programs across wellness, arts and education sectors, working with private and public schools, Defence, corporate teams, community groups, and creative organisations. Delivering in both metropolitan and remote settings has given me a deep understanding of diverse human needs and the ability to adapt my work to different environments with sensitivity and skill.
My area of expertise is therapeutic yoga and trauma aware somatic work. I support people to feel safer in their bodies, regulate their nervous systems and build sustainable emotional resilience.
I blend evidence-based movement, breathwork with the philosophy and practice of yoga to help clients develop nervous system literacy and subtle body awareness.
I also draw deeply on the energetic applications of these practices in order that the beneficial effects may be observed not only at a physical and psychological level, but at the level of felt sense, energy and internal coherence.
My approach bridges modern science and traditional wisdom, making complex nervous system concepts practical, accessible, and immediately useful in real-world settings.
Whether I’m working with individuals, classrooms, or professional teams, my focus is always the same: helping people recover, regulate, and reconnect with clarity and strength.
Sessions with me are grounded, inclusive, and adaptable to all bodies and experience levels. I create spaces that are warm, engaging, and deeply supportive.
