As a Trauma-Informed Somatic Practitioner, my therapeutic approach to health and well-being is deeply rooted in over 25 years of experience, and enriched by a diverse range of healing modalities. It is normal to have lots of different feelings, from worry to waves of panic and feelings of anxiety. Our brain wants predictable activity and close contact so we can relax our vigilant nervous system. Social and physical distancing has interrupted this predictable activity and close contact. As a result, we are experiencing emotional numbness and vulnerability. Practices and body-based approaches that manage stress reactions in the moment are crucial for us right now. A body-based approach, through embodied, trauma informed yoga and attuned touch, is important for our mental health and well-being. It is essential that we foster counter emotions and create a safe space within ourselves. If you have felt a negative impact on your mental health and physical well-being, please get in touch for one of my, 'Embodied Escape' packages. My therapeutic approach to health and well-being is very much informed by my twenty years experience as a bodyworker, energy healer and embodied, trauma informed yoga teacher, supporting individuals, families and groups who have experienced high levels of stress, depression, anxiety and trauma.
