You may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, low mood, grief, addiction, toxic relationships or neurodivergent wellbeing challenges.
Our work may involve compassionate understanding & healing from past trauma, neglect, or it may be more solution focussed in the here and now. We may focus on getting needs met, or improving self leadership & relationship with self & others. I am also curious about how our bodies respond to trauma & how we can better look after ourselves as a whole being.
