White Rose College, ManchesterHome/About Joanna
My name is Joanna. I received my spiritual name as an OSHO Sannyasin — a gentle call to drop into the heart and live in step with the rhythm of life.
About
I received my spiritual name as an OSHO Sannyasin. Laya Prasada means the Song of Grace — a gentle call to drop into the heart, tune into the melody of your own soul, and live in step with the rhythm of life.
I have been on this path since 2018, when my heart opened and I began following spirituality. Everything I offer today grew out of that.
My path
Much of my path has been spent in community and service — holding space and volunteering as a facilitator at the Osho Leela Community in Dorset, Sacred Light in Manchester, Mandala Ashram in Wales and the Bhakti Yoga Centre in Wales. It was in Dorset that I received my spiritual name.
A one-year training in Transformational Tantra Massage changed my life and who I am, forever. More recently I went deeper into bioenergetics, gaining practical tools that help me stay embodied and rooted in the present. Alongside this, Human Design, Ayurveda and astrology are part of how I understand people and their energy.
Through my sacred offerings, I invite you on a journey within to uncover your authentic essence and the gift of being you. My practice brings together transformative bodywork, energetic healing and spiritual arts, with each session shaped around the person in front of me.
My passion lies in bridging the raw vitality of the body with the highest peaks of awareness.
Guided by my favourite Osho book, From Sex to Superconsciousness, I have come to trust that these are not two separate worlds. The body is not something to rise above. It is the doorway.
Whatever we work with, my focus is one thing: holding a safe, unconditioned space for you to set down what no longer serves you, so you can ground into your true nature and feel your life force again.
Human Design, intimacy styles, astrology and astrocartography are also part of my personal toolkit. They have helped me understand and accept my own energy, and they can offer another perspective for those who feel drawn to explore them.
