About My Clients

You might be feeling: ● disconnected from your body and stuck in your head ● bothered by physical symptoms that won't go away ● burned out, chronically tired and sleeping poorly ● anxious, reactive or highly sensitive ● trapped in a loop of old survival patterns ● struggling to feel safe in relationships or manage relational difficulties. You’re drawn to body-based healing and want support in reconnecting with yourself on a deeper, nervous-system level.

My Background and Approach

My practice is rooted in over twenty years of working with the body through movement - initially as a dance artist, later as a trauma-informed yoga facilitator, and currently as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) and a somatic therapist for women. One of my specialities is working with early childhood and pre-verbal trauma, including prenatal wounding, which often shows up as emotional or physiological symptoms that seem to have no context or medical cause. I also enjoy supporting women recovering after shock trauma and exploring relational patterns as they are held in the body and nervous system. Please note: I am a somatic therapist, not a licensed psychotherapist. My work is body-first, nervous system, trauma and attachment-informed healing, not clinical mental health treatment.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe in a slow and gentle approach, and I lead with compassion and attunement, striving to create a safe space to attend to the wounds that are not meant to be healed on our own. I'm also convinced that all of us have the innate resilience and capacity to overcome the grip of our past, and as we (re)discover it with the right support, we can find more ease, freedom and joy in being alive.
