Madelanne Rust-D’Eye

Madelanne is a somatic psychotherapist, educator and facilitator who lives by the volcanic hills, grassy meadows and rocky coastline of Edinburgh, Scotland. Madelanne’s work comes to life at the intersection of leadership, somatics, and regenerative culture.

Trained as a trauma-informed somatic psychotherapist (MA Naropa University, 2013), Madelanne has spent the past decade-plus building the community and practice of Body-Informed Leadership to amplify and restore the capacity for connection in the bodies of Western people and cultures. This, she believes, is an essential ingredient to transforming our practice of power.

Madelanne holds the designation of Master Somatic Movement Educator and Therapist (MSME/T) from the International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association (ISMETA), where she also serves as an active Trustee, contributing to global conversations on somatics and social change. Her consulting work spans leadership and team development for third-sector organisations — including long-term partnerships with Transition Network and Mustardseed Trust — as well as major corporate accounts focused on building more collaborative leadership cultures.
