Isabella Houareau

Isabelle Houareau is a somatic therapist dedicated to helping people reconnect with themselves through the language of sensations and Compassionate Inquiry. Her journey into this work began after experiencing postnatal depression, which led her to discover Compassionate Inquiry as a powerful path toward self-understanding and transformation. Now, she brings that same approach to her clients, guiding them toward a deeper connection with their own wholeness and inner resources. Working from a polyvagal perspective, Isabelle supports clients in exploring co-regulation and cultivating a sense of safety within. She views trauma not as the events themselves but as the disconnection from one’s true self—and believes that reconnecting with this core essence is essential to experiencing inner balance and resilience. Alongside her individual sessions, Isabelle also leads yoga classes for children, combining movement, breath, and song to foster body awareness, focus, and sensory exploration. Her playful yet mindful approach encourages young learners to cultivate self-awareness and authentic expression. On Insight Timer, Isabelle shares meditation tracks designed to help listeners tune into their bodies’ innate wisdom. Through her offerings, she hopes to provide a space for calm, connection, and the opportunity to connect with their wholeness and inner resources.
