Exploring the nature of wholeness and health
Body of Wonder offers practitioner training programs in
NAIO™ holistic awareness process & Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy.
Classes and workshops in Somatic Movement Education, private sessions and retreats are
available to support living as full-bodied expressions of wholeness and wellbeing.
Body of Wonder explores how we can deeply embrace ourselves as a dynamic emerging process. How can we live as an open experience and infinitely creative continuum? Can we find ways to acknowledge and be with challenging situations by embodying the everyday sublime of our existence?
We are not separate from nature, we are nature itself. We can live as full expressions of the interdependence and wholeness of Nature. Body of Wonder explores our intrinsic bio-intelligence, which can be seen as the orchestration and flow of life.
This flow is the very movements that emerged to conceive us, to conduct our embryological organization and development, and continues to create and sustain us into the beings we are in this very moment.
These movements of Nature are universal motifs, creative potency, swirling to form galaxies and planets, oceans and mountains, birds and flowers – and us. Body of Wonder explores bringing greater awareness to the natural creative genius that is orchestrating within our biology, embodying the flow of nature as a unique expression of health and life. A wonder that is sacred.
When we are living as flowing expressions of our Essential Nature, our Unity we feel nourished to embrace the vicissitudes and experiences of life ~ as we are the Embrace.
The unfolding of life is the flow of the sacred, expressed in our biology. We are an infinite process, in a continually dancing relationship of interdependence and wholeness within ourselves and the larger creation surrounding us.
Conditioning in the many forms it takes – physical, emotional, psychological, social and spiritual can seem to disrupt our sense of being, our wholeness, and health, interrupting our flow as waves and rhythms of Creations Ocean. Body of Wonder offerings support a sense of well-being and health.

Training Programs
Training programs are available in the NAIO™ Holistic Awareness Process and Craniosacral Therapy, offering an experiential and professionally grounded pathway into embodied awareness and somatic practice.
The NAIO™ Practitioner Training is a comprehensive 900-hour certification program designed to support participants in becoming finely tuned, sensitive, and grounded somatic practitioners. The program emphasizes working with the integrated whole person — body, nervous system, and lived experience — and is complemented by a two-year, 700-hour Craniosacral Practitioner Training in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, which is also available.
Private Sessions
Private Sessions are centered on Prue’s original work, the NAIO™ Holistic Awareness Process — a spacious and gentle somatic awareness practice that has grown from years of lived experience and study. This approach offers a unique pathway for embodied awareness, nervous system regulation, and integration.
Sessions may also incorporate Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy and Continuum, including somatic movement and perceptual inquiry, when these modalities best support an individual’s needs. Private Sessions are available in person in San Diego, California, and in Sydney and the Shoalhaven Region, Australia, or via distance worldwide.
Retreats
Body of Wonder retreats weave somatic education with nature-inspired embodiment practices and the unique heritage of each place, honoring the living presence of the land and its rhythms. Each retreat is shaped by its environment and invites participants into a felt relationship with body, awareness, and place through gentle movement, perceptual inquiry, and time in nature.
Alongside curated wellness experiences, the retreats create spacious cycles of rest and renewal that support regulation, integration, and connection. Participants are invited into an attentive way of being that nurtures connection with self, community, and the earth. Retreats are offered in select locations, including Malta, Greece, Big Sur, New Zealand, and Australia.

NAIO™
NAIO™ holistic awareness process uses somatic education principles to support a greater sense of well-being and connection with life. It is a gentle meditative way of exploring ourselves through the understanding that we are a dynamic emergent process. By using gentle touch we connect internally to a deep-felt sense experience of the flow of life itself.
The Biodynamics of Craniosacral Therapy
BCST Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is a healing art that works with the energies that create and maintain health in the human system. While not a manipulative therapy, it has its roots in osteopathy and has evolved to include influences from human development, pre and perinatal psychology, trauma resolution, and recent advances in neuroscience to name a few.
Somatic Movement Education
Somatic Movement Education is a way to fully inhabit our life experience by connecting with the fluid origins of our bodies. The use of breath with attuned internal awareness and engagement with intrinsically generated movements, sensations and perceptions enhances the capacity for presence.
