OMBRETTA DETTORI
Holding Sacred Spaces
ABOUT ME
For the past 10 years I've been drawn to explore believe systems, psychology, self inquiry, yoga, health, groups dynamics, the unseen, life energy, love, death and grief and the intersection between divinity and humanity.
I consider myself a curious traveller, passionate of meeting reality as it is and above all others and myself in truth. The path I've walked shaped my approach as non judgemental and inclusive.
When we work together, both individually and in group, I naturally hold a safe space for expression and growth. Whatever is the reason for us to meet, I'll be offering you my truth and create the opportunity for you to find, speak and act yours.
PATHWAYS LEADING HOME
I trust there is no one single path that is better than another and that we all are to explore which one serves us better in each given moment. I above all trust that our capacity for healing is encoded in who we are and who we have always been. Here are some of the pathways that have served me and my students and clients profoundly over the past 10 years. My invitation to you is to be curious and feel which one may resonate the most: sometimes we discover that is a combination of them all that is what we were looking for.
My approach is slow and steady, as this is what gives access to Ayurveda's forgotten wisdom and help us to move back into balance. I work with Ayurveda blending into different traditions, including shamanism, guiding you into intuitive forms of understanding to empower your choices. When I work with women we drop together in the space of the womb, while when working with man we explore the heart space: as doorway to loving presence. In finding opportunities to reconnect with the regularity of the inner and outer seasons, we work together in finding a new sustainable balance.
Yoga is explored as a tool for accessing to a wider space through which we can reconnect. My yoga classes have you at the center: my heart is my compass.
When I hold space in the Mysore room, when I lead a Group Class or when we work therapeutically in a one-to-one session, focus is not on the practice but on the individual that is in front of me.
I like connecting on a personal level sharing what I keep on learning through my own practice and thank to the support of my teachers. I teach group classes and offer Yoga Therapy sessions in Amsterdam.
My relationship with birth and transformation is deeply rooted into the understanding of the natural passing of the seasons as Ayurveda's wisdom has been teaching us.
Women have deeply encoded inside of them the memory of being a Portal to Life and Ayurveda as Wisdom that supports Life has to offer infinite tools to nourish body and spirit. Journeying together you will learn about forgotten routine involving movements, massages, conscious breathing, herbal remedies and nutritious food.
I offer my presence, holding sacred space as Birth Doula.
The moment I stepped into this work in 2017, I realized I no longer wanted to move away from the depth of insights and the truth about who I am that The Satori Process offers. In search for more authenticity, I since then I have been journeying with many wonderful beings, learning together to drop the protective walls around the heart. It was at the end of one of these processes that I made myself available to learn and support in making possible for more people to be touched by this Process. Some years later, here the answer to my call...
Before creating an offering I always ask myself: how what I share will be in serving of the people in front of me?
How can I turn the gift of coming together into a joyful opportunity for growth and expansion?
I share what I have myself received, with gratitude and as many say, from the heart. Ayurveda and Yoga are the gifts that I feel called to offer to those that are happy to receive.
MORE ABOUT OMBRETTA
Ombretta holds a Master Degree in Psychology with a special focus in group dynamics and work experience in Human Resources (Heineken Group). Together with Claudia Pradella she holds the Mysore Program at Yoga Circle, where she teaches Ashtanga and Prenatal Yoga. Since 2019 Faculty Member of the Ayurvedic Academy The Netherlands (previous Delight Academy of Ayurvedic Studies), collaborating to the development of the curricula and teaching Ayurvedic Massage Therapy, Advanced Treatments, Ayur Yoga and Clinical Principles. She runs her own Ayurvedic and Yoga practice in the heart of Amsterdam. Her formal education in Ayurveda (HBO level) is completed by 2 years diploma in Basic Medical Science and her yoga path has been influenced by several teachers. Gregor Mahele, Monica Gauci and Certified Ashtanga Yoga Teachers Luke Jordan have represented a source of inspiration in approaching the yoga practice in a non-dogmatic way. She loves to dive into the anatomy sounds basis of a safe practice while deepening more devotional, energetic and traditional aspects. Her approach is trauma-based. Since the very beginning she felt the call to visit Mysore - India - where to nurture her own yoga practice under the guidance of R. Saraswathi Jois and R. Sharath Jois and many others generous and devoted teachers such as Dr. M.A. Jayashree, Sri. M.A. Narasimhan, Vidwan Lakshmish Bhat and Arvind Pare. A.G. Mohan and Indra Mohan (Svastha Yoga & Ayurveda), both direct students of Sri. T. Krisnamacharya, are the teachers she started her Yoga therapy studies in 2015 with. Since 2016 the path of self-inquiry deepens with the work of the Satori Process and more recently with the important work done in different Sharing Groups. Her personal search brought her to explore self inquiry processes and relationship dynamics that touched her experience as human and as a soul. In 2017 she moved to India for one year to study and practice under the guidance of exceptional Ayurvedic doctors: since then she specialised and gained experience in Ayurvedic Nutrition, Gynaecology, Obstetrician, Postpartum and Panchakarma procedures. In 2018 she comes in touch with The Yoga Therapy Institute where she starts her studies under the guidance of knowledgeable and compassionate teachers and an international community.​ Around the same time, she starts supporting women as a Birth and Ayurvedic Postpartum Doula and eventually as Postpartum Professional Practitioner (BIA Doula Amsterdam, Sacred Postpartum Window, Midwife Cafe). The lessons of life and death that she has been gifted with during that magnificent journey are still alive in her being.​
