It's a privilege and a joy to help clients resolve their health and wellbeing concerns and see them go on to live fuller, more resilient lives.
With over 20 years experience in healthcare fields, combined with
10 years as a Somatic Experiencing & Trauma Therapy practitioner, my specialty area is working with stress and trauma-related conditions, especially trauma connected to childhood.
Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed from something in the past? Have you experienced trauma? I understand and respect the courage and strength it takes to begin, then continue the trauma healing journey.
Whether trauma is affecting you physically, mentally and/or emotionally, I welcome the opportunity to help you - please feel free to contact me to chat more, or to book an appointment.
