I help people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or affected by trauma find safety again — both in their bodies and in their everyday lives.
My work is gentle, respectful and grounding. You stay in control at all times, you don’t have to retell your story, and everything we do is designed to avoid overwhelm.
I didn’t come to this work by chance.
My understanding of trauma began with my own lived experience.
As a child and young adult, I went through several significant shocks, serious injuries, multiple surgeries, and the illness and death of my mother when I was 25. At the time, I didn’t have a name for what all of this meant. I just knew that life felt heavier than it should, and that both my body and emotions were carrying far more than I could understand.
Years later, a practitioner helped me see what I had been living with:
layered, unprocessed trauma that had never been given the chance to heal as I never had the opportunity to process one shock before another one 'hit'
I realised that the chronic physical pain, repressed anger, emotional shutdown, and lifelong patterns I struggled with weren’t character flaws or personal failings, they were the natural effects of a nervous system that had been overwhelmed again and again.
This insight was a turning point.
It gave me words, context, and most importantly, hope.
It showed me that change, real, lasting change, was possible.
From that moment on, my life began to shift toward change.
And later, toward supporting others to experience the same.
I trained deeply and consistently in trauma resolution, nervous-system regulation, and gentle mind–body therapies that help people release what they’ve been carrying, not through reliving it, but through safe, respectful processes that work with the brain and body.

In 2019, I faced another major challenge when a large dog collided with my leg, causing severe damage to an already-injured knee. I was told I might never bend my knee well enough to drive again. Yet I was driving again a year later.
It wasn’t the first time a dire prediction about my body failed to come true.
Today, I work hard to maintain my strength, stay mobile, and be the best grandmother I can be. This lived experience gives me a profound appreciation for the resilience of the human system — and a deep respect for how exhausting trauma can be when you’re living with it day after day.
I know trauma from both sides — personally and professionally
I know how it lands in the body, how it shapes emotions and behaviour, and how much the reactions of others can either soothe or intensify your pain.
That’s why my work centres on safety, attunement, and collaboration.
Everything we do together is paced, grounded, and tailored to your nervous system.
You don’t have to be “ready.” You don’t have to have the right words.
You simply need to take the first gentle step.
