Shaura Hall
A warm welcome. I am Shaura Hall – a Multi Modal therapist with qualifications in Neurosomatic Psychotherapy, Brainspotting, Yoga Therapy, Supervision and Interfaith Ministry. I founded the Pilamaya Centre, which the hub of my professional trainings courses. I work with people who are seeking steadier grounding in themselves: through periods of distress, transitions, awakening or reorientation. My approach is rooted in Integration Psychotherapy: a way of working that brings together talking therapy, somatic practice, and transpersonal enquiry, held within a science- informed understanding of the nervous system and human development.
“In all of the things that I do and offer, the vision is very simple ~
help people connect to life and realise the intention of their soul.” ~ Shaura Hall

Beneath the Platinum Sands: A Journey of Heat, Silence, and Transformation
Each summer, on a threshold to the Sahara Desert, there is a tradition that draws people into the earth itself — a ritual known as the sand bath. I travelled to Siwa Oasis, a small town in Egypt near the Libyan border, to experience this ancient practice and to meet the sand, the sun, and the desert in a new way.
Standing in the Gap: Bridging Cultures and Conflict on the Path to Self-Discovery
From the humility of learning about ancient traditions to understanding the impact of colonisation, I share my personal insights on how we navigate our identities and roles in a world shaped by centuries of trauma. Standing at the crossroads of these cultures, I explore the importance of taking a stand while remaining open to healing and transformation, both within ourselves and the world around us.
The Sundance Ceremony and Power of Connection
Seven is also a very important number in my life. It relates to the Seven Sacred Values that the White Buffalo Calf Pipe Woman gave to the Lakota people at a time of great famine. I want to speak a little bit about these values and what they mean to me currently, given that their meaning is always evolving.
PODCAST

The Pilamaya Podcast is a series of conversations from The Pilamaya Centre (UK) exploring the new model of Integration Psychotherapy and the lived work of healing. Hosted by Pilamaya founder and integration psychotherapist Shaura Hall and writer–psychotherapist Susan Clark, this podcast is for anyone drawn to Integration Psychotherapy and consciousness work — whether you’re considering training, seeking therapy, or simply curious about the journey back to yourself. You’ll love this behind scenes exploration of good therapy and why it works to change lives and bring us back to ourselves.
What if the place where we are most fully ourselves is also the most ordinary?
In this episode, Susan and Shaura explore The Ordinary Place — a state of being where we are neither above nor below anyone else, where the need to perform, explain or prove ourselves begins to fall away.
Through charming stories of family, animals, creativity, the natural world (including one very particular crab apple) the hosts explore all the ways in which we might begin to find or recognise our own Ordinary Place:
1. Be yourself
The Ordinary Place asks nothing more extraordinary of us than to be who we are.
It can be found in moments of truth, stillness and ease — those times when we stop feeling the need to explain or perform and can simply inhabit ourselves.
2. Notice the noise
Family conditioning, social expectations and the constant noise of modern life can pull us away from ourselves, and thus, the Ordinary Place, leaving us caught between feeling not enough and trying to become something more.
What remains when some of that noise falls away?
3. Follow what brings you home
Your Ordinary Place may already be present in the things that quietly bring you joy — creativity, nature, relationships, work, ritual or the places where you simply feel most naturally ourselves.
What if the Ordinary Place isn’t somewhere we need to reach for or travel to at all.
What of it’s simply somewhere we learn to recognise.
Enjoy this episode and let us know: Where is your Ordinary Place?
