Hello there!

I AM TUGBA

As a facilitator of transformation, I guide individuals on a deep journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing.

Through my work, I support the unfolding and learning that empowers us to face challenges with resilience, and lead ourselves and others toward meaningful, positive change. This is the core of everything I offer.

Work with me

    I offer personalised 1:1 sessions designed to help you explore and align with what truly matters to you.

    My holistic approach blends mindfulness-based coaching, breathwork, nature connection, and trauma-informed techniques to help you release limiting patterns, build resilience, and create a life that's meaningful to you.

  • Embercombe programmes

    I facilitate nature-based self-leadership programmes at Embercombe in Devon UK, that are designed to help people connect with themselves, each other, and the natural world.

    I integrate diverse elements such as embodiment, storytelling, ceremony, and coaching into my offerings while leaving room for emergence.

    I offer engaging talks that weave personal stories of overcoming challenges with insights on meaningful change.

Testimonials

  • I had the joy of meeting Tugba while at Embercombe on their flagship programme, The Journey, back in January 2023. During the course of the week, Tugba led our group through powerful, transformative somatic practices, and I was really moved by her compassionate, skillful and spacious facilitation.

    In my experience, in this field of work it is rare to find guides as grounded, boundaried and clear-sighted as Tugba, and I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for an experienced teacher to support and accompany them through these powerful processes.

    - Nathalie Nahai

  • Tugba has co-led two programmes I’ve joined at Embercombe, The Journey and The Twin Trail. She is a remarkable facilitator. She has a combination of steely toughness and gentle softness that is rare to find in one person.

    Not many people could have got me doing ‘embodiment work’ let alone dancing! She is a skilled embodiment and breathwork practitioner, managing to put the group at ease so we felt brave enough to take risks.

    Her passion and devotion to the work she does shines through in every interaction with her.

    - Jacob Kestner

  • I have had the joy of working with Tugba in many different capacities.

    First, Tugba is an incredible facilitator who brings a rare blend of firm compassion and playfulness to her work. She has a natural gift for holding space with strength and grace, acting as an anchor throughout your time with her. Her skillful leading of embodied activities makes you feel 100% safe and gently guides you into new depths, encouraging you to stretch far beyond what you thought was possible.

    Second, Tugba is a generous, strategic, and dynamic collaborator, bringing a blend of creativity and thoughtfulness to program design, crafting experiences that are both impactful and deeply engaging.

    Tugba is truly an inspiration to me—a strong, heart-led woman, following her own path in life and in the process helping so many people.

  • Tugba has held such gentle and expansive space for my inner exploration, intuiting what serves me best in the moment.

    I’ve experienced so many a-ha moments that have supported me to really be and move through some hard stuff.

    I’m grateful for your fierce compassion and kindness, and your guidance that always leads me back to my own innate wisdom.
