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.

For years, I thought perfection meant polishing away every flaw — smoothing the edges, silencing the mess, becoming some idealised version of myself. Being what others need me to be.

But Purna whispers something very different.
It says I was whole before I began.

It says the cracks, the stumbles, the human messiness — they are part of the wholeness, not proof of its absence.

I am not perfect because I have no flaws.
I am perfect because my wholeness has room for them all.

Today, I breathe into that truth.
Whole. Even here.
Perfect, waves and all.

Thank you to my beautiful yoga teacher for introducing me to this poem many years ago.

It’s not all in your head.

Disconnection — from self, community, body, or culture — can deeply impact our sense of safety and wellbeing.

This model, rooted in Indigenous understandings of social and emotional wellbeing, is one I return to often in both client work and professional training. It reminds us that healing happens through connection, not just correction.

Whether you’re walking your own healing path or supporting others in theirs, let this be a reminder:
✨ The self is nourished in relationship.
✨ Safety is built through belonging.
✨ Loneliness is not a personal failing — it’s a human signal for reconnection.

What’s one connection that has felt healing for you?

The term “Psychosomatic” has long been misunderstood.

It’s not a dismissal.
It’s an invitation —
To listen more deeply.
To trust the language of the body.
To unwind survival stories written in muscle, breath, and tension.

This is the kind of work we do inside Ignite and Illuminate — body-led, trauma-aware, and rooted in the truth that healing isn’t just cognitive.

If you’ve ever been told “it’s all in your head,”
This is your reminder:
Your body is wise. Your symptoms are real.
And you are not alone in this.

This is not just another yoga course.

It’s a supportive, evidence-based, and deeply nourishing space to reconnect with yourself through movement, mindfulness, and somatic self-awareness — on your terms, in your own time.

Designed for those healing from trauma, anxiety, or chronic dysregulation, this 6-week program blends:

🔹 Guided trauma-sensitive yoga practices (no experience needed)
🔹 Compassionate psychoeducation to support nervous system awareness
🔹 Reflection + integration practices to build safety, trust, and embodiment

Each session invites you to move slowly, listen inward, and begin to rebuild a relationship with your body that feels grounded and empowering — not overwhelming.

There is no rush, no performance, no pressure. Just an invitation to meet yourself exactly where you are, and take the next step toward healing.

Start anytime. Go at your pace. You are welcome here.

✨ If I could speak to my 20-year-old self, these are the truths I would share — lessons learned through love, struggle, and growth. ✨

Your twenties are a beautiful, chaotic time of becoming. You’re still figuring out who you are beneath the stories, the patterns, and the noise. But here’s what I’ve come to understand: you don’t have to stay stuck in old ways of relating, or smallness, or silence.

You get to claim your needs, trust your body’s wisdom, and show up fully — even when it feels scary. Healing is possible. Freedom is possible. And you deserve to live in a way that feels expansive, safe, and real.

Swipe through these 10 whispers of wisdom — not just for my younger self, but for anyone who’s still learning how to come home to themselves. 💫

This isn’t just another training — it’s a journey into embodied healing and trauma-informed facilitation.

After years as a therapist and yoga teacher, I found myself frustrated — traditional approaches weren’t enough to help clients truly heal and integrate.
Over a decade ago, I began my own deep training and personal transformation. What I learned changed everything.

This course is the integration of those tools: polyvagal theory, parts work, somatics, and experiential practices that actually support healing.

I created this training so others don’t have to figure it out alone.

Start anytime. Go at your own pace. Lead with presence, safety, and nervous system wisdom.
