My approach to Somatic Therapy combines Hakomi Therapy, embodied self-enquiry and somatic practices. Working from a gentle and trauma-informed approach, we can become aware of how self-limiting beliefs narrow our perspective on our life and create discomfort or pain in our body and explore ways to support these self-restricting beliefs or tensions to unravel or release back to a sense of safety and wholeness.

Connecting with our body and developing our interoception (our capacity to be aware of our bodily sensations), provides a gateway into increased self-awareness, more aware of how we are feeling and being able to identify our needs and process our emotions as well as understanding our boundaries which then allows us to live a more embodied and authentic life. We also learn how to build our resources and express our joy, vitality and creativity in the world. My intention in my work is to hold a space that allows others to experience a feeling of safety so that parts of ourselves that may have felt alone or exiled can be integrated back into a sense of belonging.
