    I’ve been doing online psychosomatic therapy sessions with Mya for several months now, and I can’t recommend her enough. From the very beginning, she created a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where I felt truly heard and understood. Her deep understanding of the mind-body connection has helped me uncover and work through patterns that were affecting both my emotional and physical well-being. Even though our sessions are online, I always feel a strong sense of presence and connection with her. She brings a calm, grounded energy that helps me feel at ease and supported. Each session leaves me with new insights, tools for self-awareness, and a growing sense of balance. Mya is not only highly professional and knowledgeable, but also warm, intuitive, and genuinely dedicated to her patients’ growth. Working with her has been a transformative experience, and I’m incredibly grateful for her guidance.

    My somatic therapy session with Mya at Ibiza Horse Valley was so incredibly special! Surrounded by the breathtaking nature of Ibiza, I experienced a deep reconnection to myself and nature through the wisdom of the horses and their herd. The session allowed me to tap into my body, releasing tension and embracing a profound sense of inner peace. Mya’s professional and intuitive guidance created a very safe and nurturing space where I could truly let go and surrender to the healing energy of these majestic animals. If you’re seeking a powerful way to reconnect with yourself and nature, this somatic experience within the horses and the herd is an absolute must!

    Mya offers something truly special. My daughter has been attending sessions with her in the most lovely setting—a therapy couch placed right in the middle of a horse paddock. The horses, all rescued and now part of this healing space, are free to come and go as they please, and when they choose to engage, the connection is profound. Mya combines talk therapy with somatic work in a way that feels incredibly gentle yet deeply effective. Her calm, friendly presence creates a space where my daughter feels safe to open up—even about the hardest things. The somatic practices help her release what words alone can’t reach and connect her back to her body. Releasing stress and anxiety. I feel deeply grateful for the support Mya offers and the way she’s helped my daughter reconnect with herself in such a compassionate and grounded way.

    The best! What a beautiful experience, the horse valley is so close to my heart and honestly the most special place. Mya is very talented and great at what she does. I highly recommend so much that I even have booked them in for my yoga retreat in May. 🫶🏻✨

    About This Practice

  • Mya Thieme specializes in Somatic Therapy, a body-oriented approach to healing trauma and other stress-related disorders. Unlike traditional talk therapy, her work focuses on the physiological responses of the body to help clients process 'stuck' emotions and stress.
  • This practice is ideal for tourists looking for a 'healing holiday' or expats dealing with the burnout often associated with the high-intensity Ibiza season.
  • Her approach is rooted in the Polyvagal Theory, focusing on moving the client out of 'fight or flight' and into a state of safety and social engagement.
  • Facility & Team

  • Mya Thieme is a solo practitioner, ensuring a highly personalized and consistent therapeutic relationship.
  • She is a certified Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and has trained extensively in Gabor Maté’s Compassionate Inquiry method.
  • While she operates out of a private studio, her 'facility' is often the client's own environment, as she offers mobile services to villas across Ibiza.
  • Languages spoken include English and Dutch (native), with a high degree of cultural competency for international clients.
  • What to Expect During Your Visit

  • Initial Consultation: Sessions usually begin with a grounding exercise to establish a sense of safety.
  • The Process: Expect a mix of guided dialogue focusing on bodily sensations and, if agreed upon, gentle therapeutic touch or bodywork.
  • Pacing: The work is 'titrated,' meaning it moves slowly to avoid overwhelming the nervous system, making it safe for those with significant trauma histories.
  • Post-Session: Clients often report feeling 'lighter,' more grounded, and physically more relaxed immediately following a session.
  • Location & Accessibility

  • Mya provides her exact studio location upon booking to maintain client privacy.
  • Her mobile service is a major draw for tourists staying in remote villas or high-end hotels who prefer the privacy of their own accommodation.
  • For those not physically in Ibiza, her online sessions via Zoom are highly rated and offer the same therapeutic efficacy as in-person talk-based somatic work.
  • Why Tourists Choose Them

  • Ibiza is a global hub for wellness; Mya Thieme represents the professional, clinical side of the island's healing community.
  • Visitors often book her for 'intensive' work—multiple sessions over a week—to capitalize on their time away from work and daily stressors.
  • Her Dutch and English fluency removes the language barrier that can often be a hurdle in Spanish medical or wellness settings.
  • Safety & Standards

  • As a trauma-informed practitioner, Mya adheres to strict ethical guidelines regarding touch and client consent.
  • She maintains professional insurance and follows international standards for somatic therapeutic practice.
  • Booking & Practical Info

  • Appointments are managed via her website or WhatsApp (+31 number).
  • Due to her popularity in the summer months, booking at least 1-2 weeks in advance is recommended for in-person sessions.
  • Pricing is competitive for high-end somatic work in Ibiza, typically ranging from €100 to €150 per session, though specific quotes are provided upon inquiry.

    Tourist Information

    Booking is primarily done through the official website or via WhatsApp (+31 6 29219527). Staff (Mya) speaks fluent English and Dutch; Spanish communication is possible but English is the primary professional language. Advance booking is highly recommended, especially during the peak season (May-September), though last-minute cancellations may occasionally open same-day slots. This is a private wellness service, so it does not accept the European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) or standard travel insurance for direct billing; however, some premium international health insurance plans may reimburse 'Somatic Therapy' or 'Counseling'—clients should check with their provider. Payments are typically handled via bank transfer, PayPal, or cash. For villa visits, Mya can travel to most parts of the island, including San José, Santa Eulalia, and Ibiza Town. Medical reports for insurance reimbursement can be provided in English upon request.

    Insurance Information

    This practice is a private therapeutic service. It is not affiliated with the Spanish Seguridad Social system. Most private Spanish insurance providers do not cover somatic therapy. International travel insurance typically only covers emergency medical care, but some 'Wellness' or 'Mental Health' riders may allow for reimbursement. Out-of-pocket payment is the standard, with prices reflecting the specialized nature of trauma-informed care in Ibiza.
