“The ache for home lives in all of us.”
—Maya Angelou
What if you were more than what you feel?
Trauma, anxiety, and depression don't have to define you
When we turn our attention inward and listen to the wisdom of our bodies, we open to the possibility not only of healing past wounds but of meeting ourselves fully, without needing to change anything. Your own body holds the wisdom for healing, and with the right support, you can reclaim the sense of ease that trauma and suffering have overshadowed.
Life’s natural rhythms shift between expansion and contraction — a continuous dance between movement and rest, connection and solitude. Like the rise and fall of the breath, we are designed to move between these states with ease and fluidity. When that gets interrupted by events that are too big or too fast to process, we become unable to integrate our experience and symptoms then emerge.
Welcome to a space where you can feel safe, seen, and truly heard.
Therapy is not about changing you; it is finding the safety inside to be with all that is there.
“Change occurs when ones becomes what he is, not when he tries to become what he is not.” Arnold Beisser
I specialise in working with people who are seeking a path back to themselves. To long-term regulation, resilience and the deeper sense of wholeness that comes from fully inhabiting our bodies.
“There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in.”
—Leonard Cohen

“The way out is in.”

Awareness is the beginning of change and I support you to become more aware of how you do you!
What changes when we work together
—
Expand your emotional capacity
As you begin to meet what moves within you — the aches, the fear, the bracing— something softens. We notice that all that rises also passes. What used to overwhelm us becomes something to meet with curiosity. In allowing yourself to feel without drowning, you discover that emotion is not something to be fixed, but the pulse of your aliveness — rising, falling, returning you to yourself.
—
Find your stability
There is a quiet ground beneath all movement — a stillness that does not vanish when life grows uncertain. Together we’ll listen for it, sense it, strengthen it's roots. Even as the world changes around you, you learn to inhabit a steadiness that is not about control, but about trust — the deep knowing that you can find your own ground- time and time again.
—
Move through life with ease
Ease is not the absence of challenge, but a way of meeting life with less resistance and with more breath. As you reconnect with vitality and presence, your days begin to feel more fluid, less bound by old reactivity. Movement — inner and outer — becomes a kind of grace, a natural unfolding toward what feels most alive in you.
—
Feel genuinely well in yourself
Well-being begins as a quiet homecoming — a slow return to the truth that you are already whole. As you learn to rest into your own body, ease and aliveness start to weave through your days. The world no longer feels like something to brace against, but something you can meet with trust. From this ground, resilience arises naturally — not as armour, but as a deep, felt sense of “I am okay” and "I am safe."
—
Creatively respond to stuck patterns
You’ll learn to move through experiences in a way that supports your nervous system’s natural capacity to shift between states, allowing activation to settle and complete rather than remaining stuck in patterns of fight, flight, or shutdown. Energy that once went into holding on becomes available for creation, connection, and choice — a more fluid way of meeting life as it comes.
—
Becoming more regulated
When we lose connection with ourselves, we lose connection to our deep sensitivities, our longings, our tenderness, our rage and all that which makes us beautifully human. I invite you to pay attention to how you breathe and move, and your felt sense of contact with the chair or ground that holds you, to the subtle expressions of your lived experience in each moment. These are doorways into deeper integration and healing.
If you seek a companion on your journey back to yourself, to a place to feel at home within, I would love to work with you.
