is learning to fully inhabit our inner sense of self – not only emotionally and psychologically but bodily as well, as they are inseparable from one another"

It's a privilege and a joy to help clients on their journey to be freer from the effects of trauma so they are able to 'be in life' with a greater sense of safety, agency and choice.
With over 15 years' experience as a Somatic Trauma Therapy practitioner, I've worked with hundreds of clients experiencing many different forms of trauma.
Are you feeling stressed or overwhelmed from something in the past? Have you experienced trauma - the effects of which are still impacting you currently? I understand and respect the courage 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.
