If you’re living with complex conditions like POTS, Long COVID, MCAS, EDS, CFS, or Autoimmune disorders, your nervous system is likely in a constant state of high alert. When a body is stuck in a cycle of flares, exhaustion, and medical gaslighting, "just talking about it" often isn't enough. You can’t talk your way out of a physiological nervous system response. My practice is designed for those who have hit a wall with traditional talk therapy and are seeking a body-based, neuroaffirming approach to find stability again.
Chronic illness is inherently traumatic. When the medical system dismisses you or your body feels like a betrayal, your nervous system stores that stress. We use somatic tools to: - navigate the crash - process medical trauma - manage systemic flares - honour your neurotype - unlink psychological pain from physiological pain
If you are tired of explaining your symptoms and ready to start supporting your nervous system, let’s connect. Based in Sydney, I offer telehealth sessions across Australia.
