And one who pays attention to the things many people rush past.

Satya pays attention to the stories we carry in our bodies, the emotions we have not yet named, and the ways food, movement, culture, and belonging shape how we experience the world. For Satya, healing begins with listening.

Born into a richly multicultural family with roots in Benin, Senegal, India, Myanmar, and the United Kingdom, Satya's life has been shaped by movement across countries, languages, and cultures. Growing up in Dakar before later moving to London, Edinburgh, and Glasgow, she developed an early understanding that people can experience the same world very differently. That experience would eventually shape both her personal journey and her life's work.

Satya's path has been guided by curiosity about what helps people feel whole and over the years, she explored movement, nutrition, emotional wellbeing, and community, gradually building an approach that brings all of these threads together. This made food to become one of her earliest teachers.

Growing up surrounded by the flavours and traditions of Senegal, Benin, and other cultural influences, she learned that food carries history, memory, identity, and connection. Today, as a Healing Diets Nutritional Consultant, Satya supports women, particularly Black women navigating menopause, helping them understand the relationship between food, wellbeing, and long-term health. Her work also explores the intersections of women's health, food sovereignty, racial equity, and climate resilience.

Movement became another important part of her story and from childhood memories of music, dancing, and community celebrations to formal training in contemporary dance at Trinity Laban, movement has remained a constant thread throughout her life. Over time, her practice evolved into something deeper, bringing together somatic movement, nervous system regulation, social justice, and care for Black women. Through this work, she creates spaces where people can reconnect with themselves in ways that often feel forgotten.

Beneath all of Satya's work, though, is something deeply personal. She understands grief. Satya understands the grief that comes with the loss of loved ones, of language, places and the losses that accompany migration and change. Rather than turning away from those experiences, she chose to learn from them. Satya recently became an Edu-Therapy Grief Specialist, adding another dimension to her work supporting people through healing, reflection, and self-discovery.

Today, Satya's work involves wellbeing, movement, nutrition, and social justice. Whether she is mentoring women, exploring Black women's experiences of menopause, facilitating movement practices, or creating spaces for reflection, Satya brings the same quality and presence to every room she enters.

Her work is thoughtful, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the belief that people already carry much of the wisdom they need and that sometimes, they simply need support finding their way back to it. Satya understands that belonging is  more about finding yourself than about finding a place and perhaps that is what makes her work resonate so deeply.

Satya Dunning is building a practice that connects body, food, emotion, culture, and community. In a world that often encourages disconnection, she reminds us that healing can begin with something as simple as listening and remembering that what we are searching for may have been within us all along.
