"Joy is not something we have to chase- it's what naturally arises when we come home to ourselves."
Guided Hypnosis at the Inner Sanctuary with SMGI®
SMGI® - Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery is a powerful healing modality that combines mindfulness, somatic awareness, and guided inner imagery to help you access your subconscious mind and release emotional or energetic blockages held in the body. Developed by Gina Vance, SMGI® is often described as a gentle yet transformative form of inner journeying with light hypnosis.
In an SMGI session, you’ll be guided—usually with eyes closed—into a relaxed, meditative state. From this calm and receptive place, you’re able to:
- Access the subconscious (where emotional imprints, trauma, and limiting beliefs are stored)
- Connect with inner parts of yourself (such as the inner child, protector, and wise self)
- Clear and rewire outdated patterns or beliefs that no longer serve you
- Integrate new, life-affirming truths aligned with who you truly are becoming
How Can SMGI® Help You?
As women, we often carry layers of societal conditioning, emotional trauma, and inherited patterns that traditional talk therapy alone may not fully access or resolve. SMGI® offers a somatic, intuitive, and deeply experiential approach to healing that supports lasting change from the inside out.
Emotional Healing & Trauma Resolution
Revisit and gently release past wounds without having to relive the pain. SMGI® allows you to process trauma in a contained, empowering, and integrative way.
Releasing Unconscious Patterns
Uncover the hidden roots of self-sabotage, people-pleasing, or attracting emotionally unavailable partners—and begin to shift these patterns at their source.
Empowerment & Inner Trust
Connect with your inner wisdom and higher guidance to strengthen self-trust, confidence, and alignment with your authentic voice and desires.
Somatic Integration
Because the work includes the body, SMGI® helps you feel safer, more grounded, and more fully present—essential ingredients for lasting transformation.
Clarity & Purpose
Many women emerge from SMGI® sessions with new insight into what they truly want—not based on outside expectations, but from a clear, inner knowing.
SMGI® helps you reclaim your voice, your power, and your inner freedom—by clearing blocks where they began: in the body and the subconscious.

About Me
I believe healing doesn’t happen by fixing what’s broken—but by remembering what’s already whole.
My name is Bhavani Werning, and my work was born from my own journey of deep self-inquiry, therapy, somatic exploration, and lived experience of feeling “aware” yet still stuck. I know what it’s like to understand patterns intellectually, to have insight and language for your wounds, and still feel something unresolved in your body, your relationships, or your sense of direction.
I am a certified coach and somatic practitioner with extensive training in somatic studies, Gestalt awareness, mindfulness practices, and Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery®. I’ve spent years immersed in healing environments—through movement, meditation, guided imagery, and trauma-informed work—supporting both myself and others in reconnecting with their inner wisdom.
What I’ve learned is this: transformation happens when we include the body, the nervous system, and the imagination—not just the mind.
Through my work, I guide women into a gentler, deeper way of healing—one that honors their intelligence and their intuition. One that allows old patterns, emotional imprints, and survival strategies to soften naturally, without force, rehashing, or endless analysis.
My sessions and offerings create a safe, spacious inner sanctuary where you can slow down, listen inward, and access the parts of you that already know the way forward. From this place, clarity emerges. Relationships shift. Choices feel more aligned. Life begins to feel lighter, more embodied, and more true.
This work is for women who are ready to move beyond “figuring it out” and into living from a felt sense of wholeness, trust, and inner safety.
If you’re here, I trust there’s a reason.
I’m honored to walk alongside you.
— Bhavani Werning
My Offering
A return to your deepest truth. A sanctuary for your becoming.
I offer a gentle yet powerful space for women who feel the call to come home to themselves — whether you’ve spent years in therapy and healing spaces, or you’re just now realizing something inside you is asking to be seen.
You may feel like you’ve outgrown old patterns, roles, or ways of being.
Or maybe you simply sense that there’s more to you — more truth, more freedom, more vitality — waiting just beneath the surface.
You’re not broken, and you don’t need to be fixed.
You’re at the threshold of remembering.
And my work is here to midwife that return.
At the heart of what I offer is deep listening — to your body, your breath, your inner voice, and the subtle wisdom that lives beneath words. Through guided somatic journeys, intuitive coaching, and light hypnosis (SMGI®), I support you in reconnecting with parts of yourself that may have been silenced, frozen, or left behind.
This work gently dissolves blocks like shame, fear, over-responsibility, and unworthiness, and makes space for joy, clarity, and authentic expression to return.
This isn’t about pushing through.
It’s about softening into.
It’s about remembering who you were before you learned to be someone else.
What Sessions May Include:
- Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery® (SMGI®)
- Inner child connection and healing
- Energetic clearing and fragment reintegration
- Feminine embodiment practices
- Breath, visualization, and intuitive inquiry
- Coaching to anchor your insights into real-life change
This work is for you if:
- You’ve done therapy, coaching, or spiritual work and still feel stuck
- Or… you haven’t done much inner work but feel ready to begin
- You’re tired of over-efforting and long for a softer, truer way
- You sense a deeper version of yourself is trying to emerge
- You want to feel more at home in your body, your voice, and your life
This is your sanctuary.
A space to remember, reclaim, and rise.
All sessions are guided with presence, attunement, and care. You don’t have to do this alone!
