It's a privilege and a joy to help clients to be freer from the effects of trauma and see them go on to live fuller, more resilient lives.
With over 10 years as a Somatic Experiencing Trauma Therapy practitioner, my specialty area is working with trauma connected to childhood - by utilising a mind-body approach.
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.
