ABOUT SOMATERRA
Meeting people where they are.
Somaterra offers positive behaviour support, wellbeing sessions and mindfulness facilitation, led personally by Jennifer Gaskin, a registered NDIS behaviour support practitioner and certified mindfulness facilitator based in North Queensland.
Regional and remote communities are too often treated as an afterthought in disability and wellbeing services. Somaterra was built to close that gap, bringing genuinely personal, clinically grounded support to wherever you are, without watering it down for distance.
What "somaterra" means.
Soma refers to the body and mind together, the way our physical sensations, emotions, and thoughts are connected. In somatic and embodied neuroscience, it describes how the body and brain constantly influence each other. For somaterra, soma represents paying attention to what’s happening inside a person and supporting them in ways that feel steady and regulated.
Terra means earth, ground, or foundation. It reflects the external conditions that shape how we feel and respond. Our homes, routines, relationships, and communities.
Together, somaterra expresses the connection between the inner experience (soma) and the outer environment (terra). Our work supports both: what’s happening in the body and mind, and the contexts people live and work in.
Our values
Accessible. Everyone deserves high‑quality support, no matter where they live or work. Accessibility is built into how every service is delivered. Flexible options, clear communication, and consistent standards, without ever lowering the quality of care.
Personal. Support is delivered directly and with intention. Every session or plan is designed and delivered directly, with genuine clinical grounding.
Governed. NDIS behaviour support work is delivered under a contracting arrangement with a registered NDIS provider, who provide expert governance and clinical guidance. So personal delivery is backed by established oversight.
Transparent in how we work. We are clear about how services are delivered. People know who is involved, how decisions are made, and what to expect at every step.
