Life has been my school... and you might have guessed I LOVE learning! I was fortunate to learn many tools and stumble upon Somatics (body-based healing) as a child, which is why I am so passionate about sharing these simple, holistic tools. I have a strong understanding of neurophysiology and use this to help clients create physical, cognitive, emotional and energetic wellbeing. You are welcome to take a peek below at my specialities, modalities I incorporate, and my qualifications.

Highly sensitive & neurodiverse souls - ADHD, Autism, AuDHD, PDA, ODD & sensory processing
Developing self awareness, interoception & biofeedback for intuition & resilience
Empowering parents in supporting their sensitive & neurodiverse children
Releasing intergenerational patterns, attachment & parentification
Anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, depression & sleep concerns
Perfection, procrastination, body image & eating
Body autonomy & creating healthy boundaries
Near death & out of body experiences
Finding your voice & self-expression
Chronic pain patterns
While I offer a variety of holistic modalities, the choice is completely up to my clients. By holistic I mean exploring our internal & external environments, including physical, social, emotional, cognitive, and energetic or spiritual. I explore these aspects through the lens of; neurodevelopmental, sensorimotor (somatic), trauma-informed, systems & strength-based.
