Hi, have you struggled with feeling there must be new ways you could experience more connection? Do you long for new ways of looking at yourself in the context of your life? I'm passionate about supporting folks to release past trauma, nurture their self-compassion, and improve emotional regulation. My style is warm, relational and body-based. I bring skills in navigating complex life issues, with lived and professional experience in areas such as parenting, gender and sexuality, grief, depression/anxiety, medicalization/chronic health issues, neurodivergence, and trauma. I enjoy working with diverse ages, genders, and sexualities.
Through using relational and somatic skills I aim to connect meaningfully with healthy boundaries and through up and down regulating of the nervous system to achieve optimum states of sympathetic and para-sympathetic arousal.
Life is a beautiful and challenging journey and can feel like a wild ride at times. I aim to be a meaningful part of your support and self-care system and to help you access your own inner wisdom and skills in navigating life.

It's important to me that we work holistically, so I encourage working with the many parts of who you are. Finding your strengths and honouring the stuck places means we can work together both in and out of the body to find ways to integrate and connect up to your wisdom. Issues I have experience in are around queer identities and trauma, parenting, grief, chronic illness, neurodivergence plus.

As a somatic practitioner, I bring a relational lens that focuses on integrating the mind and the body. I am very caring in my approach but also like to gently challenge the ways in which we think and the assumptions we carry about our lives and situations. Working with your strengths by helping you define them, my hope is that you learn concrete skills you can use for the rest of your life.
