I studied both counselling and psychology, but counselling felt more holistic and meaningful to me. I'm drawn to the relational approach and the healing power of genuine human connection, how transformative it is to feel truly seen and heard.
Around that time, I became curious about yoga and bodywork, and it became clear to me how deeply the nervous system and our psychology are linked.
That search led me to Somatic Experiencing, and everything changed from there, both for my clients and for me. Since then, I have trained directly with some of the world's leading SE teachers from the US, Canada, and Europe.
Now I work as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, yoga therapist, and trauma psychotherapist. I support women at all stages of life.
My specialist experience includes working with adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), developmental trauma and complex PTSD. This work has shown me how unique each person's needs are, especially with complex trauma and the ways our bodies hold stress.
I help women who are dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, panic, grief, low mood, and relationship struggles. My goal is to help them reconnect with their bodies, rebuild nervous system health, and learn to trust their inner wisdom again. I keep learning and growing through ongoing training and supervision, so I can offer you care that's grounded in the latest understanding of trauma and somatic psychology.
Right now, in addition to private practice, I help with Somatic Experiencing training in Australia by assisting the faculty and offering learning support to SE students.
What clients tell me most often isn't about technique — it's about how safe they feel in the room. I approach our conversations with warmth and honesty, allowing the process to unfold naturally. My ongoing personal and professional growth helps me stay grounded and present with you, even when things get tough. I am authentic, intuitive and always bring my humanity into my work.
