The Body Talk Therapist

The Body Talk Therapist Yoga is meant for everyone and every body. In order to make this a reality it has been her dream to open a Yoga Clinic!

At The Body Talk Therapist, we believe the body is more than just a vessel – it’s a storyteller, carrying the echoes of past experiences and emotions, while also holding profound wisdom. True healing begins by listening closely to the subtle language of your body, interpreting its signals, and guiding you on a journey of deep transformation and self-discovery. Through a holistic approach that integrates evidence-based somatic and cognitive therapies, we honour the full depth and complexity of your being, bridging the connection between mind and body. Founded by Martine, a passionate psychotherapist and yogi and advocate for holistic trauma recovery and Ian a tech savvy, meditation and yoga lover. The Body Talk Therapist was born out of a deeply personal desire to understand and treat trauma in a way that delivers lasting results.

Most high-achieving women experiencing burnout have already tried a lot.

Things like:

• Meditation apps
• Sleep hygiene routines
• Yoga or breathwork
• Diet changes or supplements
• Wellness or productivity programs

And when those don’t work, they often assume something is wrong with them.
That they just need to be more disciplined.
More consistent.
Better at “managing stress.”

But burnout in high-achieving women is rarely about poor stress management.
More often, it’s a nervous system that has been operating in survival mode for years.

Constant pressure.
Constant responsibility.
Constant performance.

When your body is stuck in that state, another routine or habit usually isn’t the solution.
Understanding your nervous system is.

Once that shifts, everything changes.

If this is you and you’re ready to approach burnout differently, comment READY and I’ll share the next step.

If you teach Yin Yoga, hold therapeutic space, or work with trauma survivors… this matters.

Yin Yoga can be deeply regulating.
But without awareness, it can also be overwhelming for trauma survivors.

Stillness isn’t neutral for everyone.

When someone has experienced trauma, slowing down in the body can bring forward sensations, emotions, or memories that feel unfamiliar or unsafe.

This is why how we guide Yin matters.

Small shifts in the way we teach can completely change the experience for students.

Things like:

• showing up authentically rather than performatively
• using invitational, interoceptive language
• allowing choice and agency in every pose
• prioritising nervous system safety over “perfect shapes”

These changes aren’t complicated.

But they are powerful.

When teachers learn to hold Yin in a trauma-sensitive way, the practice becomes a space for agency, safety, and reconnection.

Most people aren’t avoiding therapy because they’re weak.

They’re avoiding it because it feels scary.

Talking about your past.
Being vulnerable with someone new.
Admitting you need support.

But avoiding it has a cost too.

Five more years of:

• overthinking every interaction
• feeling responsible for everyone’s emotions
• repeating the same relationship patterns
• pushing through anxiety and burnout
• wondering why success still feels empty
Five years will pass anyway.

The real question is whether you want to arrive there living the same patterns…
or a different life.

If you’re ready to choose the fear that actually moves you forward:
Comment “START” and I’ll send you my therapy starter guide.

Community mental health shaped my clinical range.

It taught me diagnosis.
Formulation.
Intervention.
Risk assessment.
And how to work collaboratively within multidisciplinary teams.

High acuity.
Full caseloads.
Real responsibility.

I am deeply grateful for the rigour and breadth it gave me.

And over time, I recognised something important.

The pace of the system was not always aligned with the depth trauma work requires.

Stabilisation mattered.
Risk management mattered.
But I found myself longing for slower integration.
For nervous system literacy.
For work that honoured regulation for both client and clinician.

Leaving was not burnout.
It was alignment.

I wanted to practice differently.
And I wanted to teach differently.

Now my work supports practitioners who want both:

Clinical precision
And embodied depth.

I offer:

• Trauma informed supervision
• Advanced practitioner trainings
• Nervous system based clinical leadership

If you are a therapist or yoga teacher who wants to deepen your work without carrying chronic urgency, I would love to connect.

Comment TRAINING or SUPERVISION and I will send details.

You don’t need more self development.
You need your nervous system to feel safe.

If you are tired of holding it all together…
If rest feels uncomfortable…
If you look calm but feel wired inside…

Ignite is a 3 week somatic reset for women who are ready to step out of survival mode.

Not mindset work.
Not pushing harder.
Not bypassing.

Getting to know yourself deeper, beyond functioning.

Body led. Trauma informed. Gentle.

A lot of people assume trauma sensitive yoga is just gentler or easier yoga.

I want to stress that it’s not.

Research cited in 2016 found that 78% of participants reported feeling safer and more connected when their teacher was trained in trauma sensitivity.

That matters.
As a certified TCTSY practitioner and teacher trainer, this reflects what we see again and again: safety is relational.

Because trauma isn’t only about what happened.
It’s about how safe you feel in your body and in relationship.

Training helps us reduce prescription, to increase choice and to honour the nervous system in the practice.

Training helps us understand how trauma impacts the brain, restoring choice and reducing subtle forms of coercion that often go unnoticed.

When agency is increases, safety begins to feel possible.

Research doesn’t shout, it clarifies.

If you appreciate grounded, evidence informed conversations about trauma sensitive practice, like and save this post.
More coming 🤍

Client wins matter 🧠 💫

This is the kind of progress I care about: not perfection, not pressure- but real shifts that change how you live day to day.

Watching clients build trust again within themselves, never gets old.

If this kind of work speaks to you, you’re in the right place.

This is not a slower Yin training with a trauma themed edge.

It is a nervous system informed approach to teaching Yin safely and skilfully with trauma impacted populations.

Yin can be profound medicine.
But for trauma survivors, stillness is not always soothing.
Silence can amplify.
Intensity can overwhelm.
And long holds can activate survival patterns we don’t see on the surface.

Trauma Sensitive Yin is about understanding what is underneath the pose.

It is about:
• Choice instead of compliance
• Interoception instead of performance
• Regulation instead of endurance
• Language that restores agency
• Structure that supports safety

Good Yin training teaches shape, time, fascia and rebound.

Good trauma informed training teaches nervous system literacy, attachment awareness and how not to re enact harm unintentionally.

This 20 hour training brings both together.

If you ant to be inclusive to students and clients who have anxiety, depression, PTSD, chronic stress, or complex trauma, this training will deepen your clinical understanding and your teaching skill.

Safety isn’t just a concept - it’s a felt sense.

Many people don’t realise they’ve never truly felt safe in their body. Until they actually feel it not as a thought or belief, but as a knowing. This is where somatic work begins.

In Ignite, we don’t just talk you through it.
We guide your nervous system into it.

✨ Start when you’re ready. 3 weeks to nervous system reset. DM Ignite or check out our website thebodytalktherapist.com
