Most of my clients come to this work because they still feel anxious, overwhelmed or trapped in survival mode, and they know something deeper is going on in their body.
You might look like you’re coping on the outside, but inside you’re exhausted, on edge, or constantly in overdrive. You may have had talk therapy, and understand your experiences, but you brain, body and nervous system are still stuck in protective patterns you can’t seem to shift.
This work helps you get to the deeper places where real embodied change becomes possible.

What I do
I help people experiencing anxiety, chronic stress, pain, overwhelm, PTSD symptoms and trauma-related survival patterns begin reconnecting with safety, regulation and trust within themselves.
Many of my clients have already tried talk therapy, self-help, mindfulness or other wellbeing approaches — yet still feel emotionally stuck, hypervigilant or disconnected within their body and nervous system.
Rather than trying to think your way out of trauma, this work gently supports the body, subconscious and nervous system through embodied, trauma-informed and neuroscience-informed approaches that help create lasting change over time.
Sessions focus on creating relational safety and are collaborative, trauma-sensitive and carefully paced to support your individual capacity.
Alongside nervous system regulation and embodied awareness, we focus on helping you develop practical tools outside of sessions so you can cultivate greater resilience and experience more calm, safety and connection in everyday life.
My Approach Is Shaped By Personal Experience
Alongside my professional training, my work is also informed by my own experience of navigating difficult periods through body-based and nervous system approaches.
I understand what it’s like to intellectually understand your experiences while still feeling anxiety, stress or survival patterns held within the body. This work sits in that space; where a felt sense of regulation and freedom are experienced.
This work is not about forcing healing or pushing beyond your capacity. Sessions are collaborative, trauma-sensitive and carefully paced to support safety, choice and nervous system regulation over time.
Many clients come to this work after years of feeling stuck in patterns of overwhelm, hypervigilance, shutdown or emotional exhaustion. My approach focuses on helping you reconnect with your body in a way that feels manageable, grounded and supportive.
Outside of my work, I’m a mum, partner and dog mum who loves nature, laughs and gentle movement and slow mornings.

Frequently Asked Questions
