MY PATH INTO THIS WORK
Beyond talking alone
Over time, my work showed me that talking alone is often not enough to create meaningful, sustained change.
My early training in hypnotherapy introduced me to subconscious processes and the ways experience is carried beyond conscious awareness.
From there, I continued to train in body based approaches that support the processing and release of trauma held in the body.
“The body often reveals what the mind alone cannot access.”
CLINICAL ORIENTATION
Working with the whole person
My work is grounded in an understanding of how early experiences shape emotional patterns, beliefs, attachment and the way we relate to ourselves and others.
01
Body aware
We pay attention to sensation, emotion and nervous system response alongside reflection and dialogue.
02
Carefully paced
The work respects your capacity, your readiness and the pace at which meaningful change can safely unfold.
03
Integrative
Different therapeutic approaches can be combined according to what is most supportive for you.

A PERSONAL NOTE
Presence, curiosity and connection
My interests centre around consciousness, healing and what supports a greater sense of presence, awareness and connection to life.
I am nourished by sensory experience and simple physical activities that restore and regulate me.
