One of the things I love about Somatic work...

I'm a big fan of expansive landscapes, flowers and greenery. I get incredibly excited when my family can enjoy something I've grown myself!

 

I love to read. It was a source of great comfort to me as a child, and one day, I'd like to write a fiction book of my own! I have a vivid imagination and would love to see that come to life in written form for others to enjoy and find comfort in, just like I did.

 

After years of feeling stressed and overwhelmed in my corporate job, it took the death of my father and a cancer diagnosis of my own, in addition to having no contact with my mother, to pause and begin to develop my awareness. I had gone from Go! Go! Go! to shut down feeling stuck, broken, confused and miserable.

​

I had spent my entire life putting everyone else's needs before my own and bottling my emotions. Expressing my needs wants, and desires felt like a weakness to me. Something that was best kept to myself as it was easier to keep everyone else happy.

​

I finally found healing in understanding the way our bodies were designed. Once I understood the way the nervous system interacts with trauma and what trauma actually is! Everything started to make sense, and I could extend compassion to myself for the first time.

​

As a result of my own journey, I came to understand that we can’t leave the body out when it comes to our healing. Somatic work is a way of understanding trauma and the body. 

​

This work inspires me every day. I'm honoured to hold space for you and support you in finding more ease in your journey. And in the experience of working with you, I'm happily doing my life's work.
