About
Somaveda
I’m Frances Fuller, founder of Somaveda. I offer Ayurvedic treatments and education, alongside Craniosacral Therapy, in Fremantle.
Through many years of working with these modalities, I have come to understand that the body and mind are capable of profound healing when aligned with the wisdom of nature. My work supports clients in restoring that alignment in practical, grounded ways.
It is always an honour to meet the people who find their way into this practice. Choosing to care for one’s health requires courage — a willingness to show up, to make change, and to participate consciously in one’s own growth and balance.
Welcome
Healing rooted in subtlety and simplicity.
In a world of constant stimulation and conflicting health advice, many people are thirsty for steadiness. Ayurveda offers something reliable — a return to rhythm, awareness and natural law.
My introduction to Ayurveda began through herbal medicine when my children were young. Later, during my yoga therapy training, I recognised how deeply Yoga and Ayurveda support the nervous system together.
In trauma-informed work, I observed that calming the body regulates the nervous system, and a regulated nervous system brings mental clarity. Ayurveda rests on this same understanding. While it speaks of consciousness and subtle intelligence, healing begins through the body.
That realisation led me into formal study.
My training in offering Ayurvedic health guidance was completed through Myra Lewin at Hale Pule, alongside many years of study in India with members of the Raju family — including Krishna Raju, Padma Raju, Harsha Raju and Raju Ji — learning through the traditional verbal method. Over the past decade, I have undertaken extensive training in Ayurvedic body therapies, pulse and marma. The deeper I study, the more humility this science inspires.
Ayurveda, Vedic Meditation & Craniosacral Therapy in Practice
Ayurveda is an invitation to notice and respond. It’s not a system of rigid rules. Its principles are simple: small, consistent adjustments create meaningful change — eating the main meal at midday, sleeping before 10pm, protecting digestion, living seasonally, applying oil to the body. These are quiet practices, yet their impact is significant.
Vedic meditation forms an important foundation for this work. By reducing stress at its source and settling the nervous system, meditation supports the same principle as Ayurveda: when the system is less burdened, its innate intelligence can function more coherently.
Craniosacral therapy complements Ayurvedic practices and treatments through its subtle approach to releasing stored tension. Through light touch and attentive presence, the body is invited to unwind stress patterns. Both Ayurveda and craniosacral work operate in this subtle field — where healing arises through allowing rather than force.
Healing is not about being fixed. It is about participation. Through sharing these practices, my intention is to support people in becoming steady in their bodies, resilient in their nervous systems, and clear in their awareness.
