About the Studio

A home for bodywork, ritual, and slow, creative living.

House of The Dreaming Body is my studio for bodywork, ritual, sound baths, and seasonal gatherings, spaces where the physical and inner world meet.
A threshold for those who feel deeply, notice beauty, and long to live at the pace of their own body.

Rooted in atmosphere, slowness, and the intelligence of the nervous system, this work helps people return to themselves in ways that feel creative, spacious, and transformative. It is for the dreamers, the sensitives, the ones who feel moved by small details and want a life that feels artful and embodied.

Inside The Dreaming Body, ceremony shapes everything. Touch becomes ritual, sound becomes a doorway into the interior, and intention becomes a guide back to what’s real. Each offering is built to support inner attunement, creative nourishment, and the body’s ongoing becoming.

This studio was born from the belief that tending to your inner world is a creative act - that the body is a living altar, a place of memory, intuition, beauty, and return.
A home for those wanting to feel more present in their lives and more connected to the whole, artful self.

Meet Anika

I’m Anika Norrgard, a bodyworker, sound practitioner, and mother living in Highland Park, Los Angeles. I love early mornings, lounging in sunlight, herbs and flowers, collecting glassware, spontaneous swims, and slow days at home with my family and our cat.

For a long time, I lived at odds with myself, chasing perfection, critiquing everything, trying to control what felt uncontrollable. I found my way back through practices that steadied me, and returned me to my own body.

Now I share those same tools with others. My work blends craniosacral therapy, intuitive bodywork, grounding energy practices, sound healing, and mindfulness to create spaces of deep rest and reconnection.

I’m glad you’re here. Everything I create comes from a love of presence, beauty, and care. I hope it helps you return to that place in yourself too.
