It’s a big decision to face what’s going on under the surface, baring your vulnerabilities; especially to someone new.

The idea of sharing the details of your trauma with a brand new therapist can feel like you’re ripping off a bandaid to show a raw, unhealed injury. If you tear off a scab before the wound has healed, you’ll find yourself bleeding all over again.

I want you to feel stable, safe and supported in and out of our sessions.  To do that and before we focus on the details of your experience, we have to develop ways for you to feel safe and stable in your current world.

I will help you develop your resources and stability and increase your healthy coping skills.

Research has brought fresh understanding of how and why our nervous systems hold onto pain and other symptoms long past their original usefulness, turning normally acute body responses into chronic ones. Patterns that have been learned by the brain can be unlearned.

During our time together, we get to the underlying causes of why coping mechanisms and habits are needed. Relieving these underlying symptoms reduces the need for the relief through destructive patterns or substances, along with working on direction and purpose going forward.

Using a somatic embodiment approach, energy healing, breathe work and other modalities we will work together to heal the underlying trauma, both conscious and unconscious.

As a certified trauma therapist, life and business coach I help you overcome deep-rooted beliefs, help you let go of known and unknown blocks and patterns and self-sabotaging behaviours.

How often do you put your 'I've got it together' persona on so that on the outside everythings looks great, yet on the inside you are overwhelmed, stuck or struggling?

If you are feeling overwhelmed with
… anxiety, depression, anger, cronic pain, low self esteem, grief;
… alcohol, food, gambling addictions and other addictive behaviours;
… trauma, PTSD, emotional, physical or sexual abuse;
… or other stress related issues;

or anything that is disrupting your daily life; my services can help you.

We often speak our story from our heads, letting our minds and memories narrate our perception of the world. 

In truth it is often the sensations held in our bodies that can truly reflect our story and help us navigate the road map for better connections with ourself.

The mind-body connection is powerful.  Whether a trauma comes from one event or many, unresolved trauma can be stored in the muscles and tissues.
 
Through 1:1 online personalised therapeutic processes we can navigate physical, mental, and emotional root-causes to start healing from within so that you feel whole and empowered to live life on your terms.
