About Finding Santosha

Finding Santosha is a conscious movement, helping parents, educators and children cultivate safety, emotional regulation, and connection.

Our Approach

At Finding Santosha, we believe that how we show up as adults shapes the experiences of the children we care for. By cultivating steadiness, emotional regulation, and connection, all individuals - adults, children and their relationships - can thrive.

Finding Santosha holds space for transformation rather than forcing change. We create spaces and systems where parents, educators and children can meet themselves and each other exactly as they are. Awareness becomes our anchor, connection becomes culture, and contentment becomes a lived experience. 

Through our Ecosystem of offerings, we blend ancient wisdom with the science of the the nervous system, to cultivate connection rather than force growth. This journey is not about becoming something new, rather it’s about this generation and the next coming home to the intelligence of their body and soul.

Meet The Founder

Antonia Zara


Finding Santosha began as a personal practice, a way to listen to the language of the soul, spoken through the body. Over time, that quiet exploration grew into a system of its own, moving beyond me and into the spaces I held where the unseen was invited to be felt, and the felt became understood. What started as inner work has now become shared work, guiding parents, educators, and children toward steadiness and presence as they embrace their own emotional rhythms through through practices rooted in the Nervous System, Somatic wisdom, and ancient traditions.

My training in Psychology and years in Education taught me one essential truth: how we show up as adults shapes the world our children experience. I saw how embodied awareness can transform not just the self, but the relationships and communities we are part of. I was the teacher who read parenting books and swapped compliance for connection after understanding that a child’s sense of safety is the foundation of their learning. I realised quickly that our own capacity and ability to self-regulate is the anchor for their felt sense of safety in the world.

Through the ecosystem of offerings, I guide parents, educators and children to remember that true growth stems not from doing more, but from learning to listen. By embodying the wisdom already within, our essence ripples quietly through the relationships and environments we belong to.
