welcome
Healing is about releasing, not remembering
Are you feeling overwhelmed or struggling with symptoms of chronic stress?
From childhood trauma to deeply impacting experiences in adulthood, our inner wounds can go deep, dysregulating our nervous system, leaving us feeling anxious and disconnected from who we truly are.
We cannot talk our way out of stress and trauma.
You don't have to label your experiences as trauma in order to seek support, and midlife is often a time when unresolved pain can resurface, even from childhood.
Whether you wish to heal the pain of unresolved childhood trauma, process the shock and fear of sudden bereavement, serious health diagnosis or chronic illness, or find relief from the inner wounds of divorce, betrayal or abuse, my compassionate body-mind sessions focus on helping you release the emotional blocks that can limit your quality of life, even many years down the line.
No matter what has happened to you, or when it happened to you, you really do deserve to be living a more meaningful and joy-filled life.
Recovery and healing
Healing begins with a safe space where your story is honoured and your feelings are understood and met with compassion.
You can talk as little or as much as you like during our sessions together, and with somatic focus, they are designed to offer you a deeper healing, addressing Complex trauma and chronic stress that can manifest as anxiety, fatigue, chronic illness, digestive issues and physical pain.
When we add in feeling held back by self-limiting beliefs and weighed down by a lack of confidence, we can see why unresolved trauma really can leave us feeling isolated, stuck in a cycle that's difficult to escape and feeling trapped in personal and professional environments that no longer serve us.
Underpinned by my specialist trainings, I offer the following to help you find your freedom and start living your life on your terms:

Is unresolved trauma impacting your life?
When we are struggling, it can feel like we're fighting an invisible battle every day - We can become battle weary.
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, the weight we carry just feels unshakable. What we may not realise is that unresolved trauma can silently shape our emotions, behaviours and sense of self.
Take a look through this tick list to see if anything resonates with you - take your time and trust your gut feeling as a response to each one:
✅ Have you ever experienced narcissistic abuse, relational or betrayal trauma?
✅ Are you feeling stuck, lost or unfulfilled?
✅️ Do you struggle with self-belief or feel like an imposter, even if you are ambitious or outwardly successful?
✅️ Do you constantly keep yourself busy, throwing yourself into work or mindlessly scrolling on social media or watching TV, avoiding how you truly feel?
✅ Are you procrastinating or holding yourself back from pursuing what truly matters to you?
✅ Are you feeling anxious, overwhelmed or stressed, maybe experiencing a feeling of dread in the mornings, tummy upsets or a familiar knotted feeling in your stomach?
✅️ Are you avoiding places, people, cancelling plans and engagements?
✅️ Do you struggle with sleep or experience frequent nightmares or recurring dreams?
✅ Do you feel like you're a failure, you're not enough or that you don't matter?
✅️ Are you feeling numb or empty, low in energy, disconnected from others or who you feel you used to be?
✅️ Have you been exposed to a deeply impacting or frightening life experience that you just can't seem to move on from?
✅ Are you struggling with brain fog, fatigue, chronic illness, digestive issues or physical pain that you feel could be linked to unresolved trauma?
✅️ Do you struggle with identifying or implementing personal boundaries, avoiding conflict, always doing everything for everyone else, but never really making time for yourself?
✅️ Do you lack a sense of purpose or struggle to find joy in your life?
✅ Are you overly self-critical or suffer with perfectionism?
✅️ Do you feel angry, snappy or irritable very quickly, often over seemingly little things?
✅ Do you recognise self-sabotaging behaviours, such as pushing people away, avoiding intimacy, over-eating or under-eating etc?
✅️ Are you stuck in a career, job or relationship that you know deep down in your soul, isn't healthy or doesn’t fulfil you?
✅️ Do you feel that you are living with symptoms of Post Traumatic Stress or Complex Post Traumatic Stress?
If you've answered 'Yes' to even just ONE of the above, my body-mind sessions could be transformational for you.
We will ALL experience trauma
"Trauma is not what happens to you; it is what happens inside you as a result of what happened to you..."
~ Gabor Maté
We will ALL experience trauma in our lives, and midlife can also be a particularly vulnerable time for our unseen wounds to resurface, manifesting as:
- Chronic stress
- Perfectionism
- Self-doubt
- Decision-making difficulties
- Procrastination
- Stifled creativity
- Over-working
- People-pleasing
- Difficulty setting boundaries
- Eventual burnout
Despite outward appearances of confidence and success, we can be overly self-critical and silently suffering inside. We may be pushing ourselves to meet our own unrelenting standards, suppressing our emotional needs and consequently feeling that we don't matter, or are not good enough.
Fear is our biggest emotional block to living the life we hope for.
1:1 sessions are limited in my practice, so contact me today it it feels like the right time for you to heal your unseen wounds.
What's really holding you back?
Your story matters, and talking can often be an important part of our healing process, but on its own, traditional talking therapy is less effective and it can often take a very long time for significant progress to be made.
" Traumatic events are almost impossible to put into words"
~ Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk
To support your deeper, nervous system focused healing, I integrate effective, science backed modalities, including Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Focusing, Neuroscience and Mindfulness principles.
You can release yourself from feeling:
- Overwhelmed and stressed
- Stuck in unhealthy relationship patterns
- Trapped by self-limiting beliefs
- Held back by self-sabotaging behaviours
- Stifled and burning-out professionally
- Imprisoned by expectations
