My Story

I am a Somatic Trauma Therapist, Trauma-informed Coach &  Breathwork Practitioner. I take an integrative approach, combining mind, body and nervous system healing. Like many in the therapy field, it was in my search for anxiety relief & healing of my own traumas that I stepped into my life purpose to help others struggling to navigate & understand their emotional reactions, behaviour or relationship patterns and facilitate their healing & self-development journeys.I hear you and I see you.

 

Once a victim in my own story, I hit rock bottom and took personal responsibility for my life. Having tried counselling & CBT in the past (which helped at the time), I needed to go deeper.  I discovered another realm of therapies, from subconscious reprogramming to somatic therapies which elevated my healing.It was such a powerful experience that I found my calling and trained as a somatic trauma therapist myself (as well as a coach).

 

I started in law and found myself becoming a sheep following what others were doing and what I 'believed' I was meant to be doing. After a brusing amount of rejection, I settled with just paralegalling from place to place until I found myself so disconnected from who I was I found myself deeply unhappy & in a cycle anxiety and soon hit the self-destruct button.... and a heap of traumatic experiences (which I was unconsciously out of touch with back then). After a long internal  battle, trying to find myself in songwriting and music and even setting up a cafe with my mum which, albeit was an experience, led to more sabotaging & escapist behaviours as I was not living or being my true, authentic self... I find=ally and i can say now thankfully hit a rock bottom, as if it wasn't for that and the support i reached out for i wouldn't be where I am now - in a vocation I have found my purpose & continuously can learn and grow in.   

 

I can thank my academic background and the 'hard working' part as I didn't stop with just one qualification, I value growth & learning and have completed extensive training & learning in transformational & therapeutic coaching, NLP, EFT, Hypnotherapy, Breathwork, Somatic trauma therapy & family constellations.  I integrate various modalities into my therapy and coaching practice. My core approach combines somatic therapy, breathwork, inner child healing with a focus on developmental trauma, attachment wounds healing & family systems. Additionally, I incorporate visualisation meditations, hypnotherapy, and EFT (tapping) when appropriate, tailoring support to each client’s unique journey.

 

I learnt the way I was feeling & behaving was not all in my mind but in my body. It was a product of a dysregulated nervous system,  a  hypersensitive, anxious attachment style, unresolved trauma in my body and limiting beliefs keeping me trapped in cycles of escapism, avoidance, people-pleasing, self-sabotage & unfulfilment.​ I am dedicated to help you achieve lasting change & access deep healing by aligning the ‘mind’ and ‘body’ work.

 

I am humbled to have helped clients manage, heal & understand the roots of their anxiety, anger, depression, attachment disorders and substance abuse. I have seen clients connect with their inner child, release suppressed emotions & heal old trauma, allowing them to make transitions in their career, family & romantic relationships. At the same time, I’ve co-created solutions, designed action plans & daily practices to help clients develop deeper spiritual connection, regain a sense of control in the now & cultivate healthier habits.​

 

As I continue to cleanse & heal, I choose to function from love and not fear. I trust myself & the process more. I am no longer stuck in the past or future which keeps anxiety at bay. When the feeling does appear, I honour it and then manage it by breathing, meditating, slowing down, connecting to something higher than myself and serving and helping others including myself. Oh yeah, and smiling a lot 🙂
