Healing Early Developmental & Inherited Family Trauma with Somatic Experiencing(SE), Co-Regulating T You may want to move towards lasting change.
I'm a Integrative Relational Somatic Psychotherapist and Somatic Practitioner working with developmental trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, chronic pain, chronic illness, syndromal conditions, emotional and relational challenges. I help people to develop awareness of the underlying physical responses that inform their emotions and behaviour. I use Co-Regulating Touch Bodywork for Trauma, NeuroAffe
ctive Touch and Somatic Experiencing (SE) to assist in Nervous System Resilience and Regulation to help change physiology for clients who work with me. I also offer online sessions on Zoom, if that suits your needs. You may be struggling in your relationship, suffering from anxiety or depression, experiencing low self-esteem, suffering from an eating disorder or grieving a loss. You may also be in transition and facing questions of identity, meaning or purpose in your life. You may be facing familiar feelings of stuckness and 'just going through the motions of life'. You may feel angry, sad or frustrated at the patterns in your life. You could be facing a crisis but you don’t have to be. You may be suffering from the hidden effects of trauma - a loss of connection with others - and you may feel numb, without knowing exactly why. Your self-esteem and feelings of well-being may be suffering. When facing difficulties in our lives, it can be helpful to engage with someone who listens deeply, understands and helps you make sense of your experience. Clients tell me that they find me understanding, caring, and supportive. They feel connected when working with me and trust me to share the challenges they are facing – they feel accepted without being judged. There’s an unmistakable link between hidden, early developmental trauma and chronic anxiety, depression, relational struggles, illness or pain. As an integrative relational somatic therapist and whole body somatic practitioner, I work with you deeply at the level of the nervous system and body sensations to heal invisible, long-held trauma, so that your emotional and physical symptoms can heal. You don’t have to be defined by your symptoms and it is possible to feel better. Somatic Experiencing (SE), Co-Regulating Touch Bodywork for Trauma, Somatic Relational Awareness & Inquiry and Body-Mind Centering are some of the methods we will explore together. I will be both supportive and active and help you create new kinds of understanding, possibility and embodiment, so you can progress, at your pace, to rise into the fullness of who you are. Your nature is fluid - naturally at ease and free. You may have spent a long time keeping what you feel inside, not knowing what you feel or not feeling able to speak up about it. You may feel stuck, in emotional or physical pain, anxious, depressed or suffering. You don’t have to be. No matter what your history, ease and freedom is possible for you. Wholeness and joy are already in you. Our work together will support you to access what’s true inside of you. You may be struggling in your relationship, experiencing low self-esteem, struggling with an eating disorder or body image concerns, going through a divorce or grieving a loss. You may feel angry, sad or frustrated at the patterns that you’ve noticed in your life and don’t know how to get to the root of what’s happening for you and move towards lasting change. You can learn about embodiment, your nervous system and how your body is giving you messages that are helpful for you to learn how to understand. Let’s take time to slow down, notice and get in to your body. Your body holds a map of your emotional history. Allow yourself to feel and know your body in a full and deep way. Embody the fullness of your life and yourself. Feel grounded in the truth of yourself. Be with what’s here for you now. Touch in to the sensations inside of you and understand what your feelings truly mean for you. You may be judging yourself harshly and your self-esteem and feelings of well-being may be suffering. When facing difficulties in our lives, it can be helpful to engage with someone who will take part in our dance of co-regulation - someone who listens deeply, understands, helps you make sense of your experience - and will help you cultivate embodied resilience within yourself, in your relationships and in your life. To begin, we will take time for you to develop a sense of safety between us - cultivating and nurturing a caring, connected and supportive relationship, so that you can trust me to share what may be challenging you - while feeling accepted without being judged. Embodying the truth of you is possible - along with lasting change and growth.

Many of my clients want to get to the root of their personal struggle - and how to shift and change if from within. 🌟 To begin, we tune in very closely to our emotions and body sensations in each moment. 🌟 Most of our behaviour and thoughts happen automatically - what patterns are you blindly playing out? 🌺 We can turn towards and befriend our inner experience, so our patterns don’t unconsciously undermine us. 🌸 Awareness brings us out of the conditioned loop, so that we can respond with intelligence, freedom and heart. ♥️ This fundamental shift is the beginning of freedom. 🌟 Are you ready to become alive to the patterns that are running your experience? Allow your patterns to soften, and welcome in each moment with awareness. 🌟❤️ with you ❤️🌟

In yearning to be perfect, we have mistaken perfection for wholeness. We think that we cannot love ourselves until we and others meet some external standard. 🌺 Depression, anxiety - most neuroses and compulsions - are ultimately a defense against loving ourselves just the way we are. ~ Marion Woodman ❤️ Together, we go in to the dark and retrieve lost parts of yourself, care about them deeply and remember your wholeness. 🌸 You are already whole and divine. 💗 Turn towards your body, feel into the pain and integrate the pain into deep trust. ❤️❤️❤️ with you. ❤️❤️❤️

Listen from Within the Spaciousness of Inside of Your Body. 🪻What am I Avoiding Right Now That is Asking for My Attention? 🌸 Can I Allow Myself to Stop, Slow Down, Breathe and Simply Be Aware? 🌟❤️ with you 🌟❤️

In codependency, the dreams I have for my future are all tied to you. 🌸 In healing, my dreams are my own, even if they do include you. 🌺 Healing means becoming to your own needs and strengthening your connection to yourself. ❤️
