What are we doing in a somatic session?
I'm working with you one-on-one in a Google Meet call, helping you to discover and process your emotions and improve the quality of your life.
I facilitate a *brave* space that gently encourages exploration and growth and allows you to meet your emotions, patterns and held beliefs. There's nothing broken or needing fixing in you- our nervous systems are so clever, they adapted to be this way because they are just not getting new updated sensory input that things can and will be different. Through somatic practises we will increase our ability to be with our experience and metabolise emotions that have felt stuck. This is a two part process.
Firstly,
we cultivate a felt sense of safety in the body with body-based tools to feel resourced and grounded. This is also to create a felt sense of containment in our own experience.
Secondly,
once we feel well resourced, we start to investigate a particular part, trigger or issue.
I weave together somatic technique, IFS parts work,inner child work and energy work. I will share the invaluable techniques I have learnt to connect with my body, and improve my emotional well being.

Sessions are 60 minutes.
Session hours are Mon-Thurs, 10am-6pm, UK time.
How to prepare for a session
Set yourself up so you don't have to worry about posture/ holding your phone/ being disturbed. When I first had a somatic session I was so anxious, this experience is normal. It will likely fade as the sessions go on. This space is for you to show up exactly as you are!! and with whatever is currently showing up for you.
Integration afterwards
It's natural for things to come up after sessions, when an experience ends, the nervous system sometimes does not immediately return to baseline. Signals continue to circulate across sensory, motor and autonomic pathways until they are inhibited (the autonomic nervous system is just assessing whether activation has fully run it's course). Take care of yourself after sessions, stay hydrated, well nourished and well rested. Integration is happening in the backdrop after sessions and it's allowing your capacity to expand quietly, over time.
These sessions are for you if...
You want to learn what's happening in your nervous system in the present moment and meet it with curiosity
You want to resolve neuroplastic chronic pain
You are navigating something without being in crisis
You want to understand the younger parts of you that learned to survive through overworking, fawning, shutting down, perfectionism and control and build real internal safety
You are ready to invest in yourself
This space is not for you if:
You are looking for quick fixes
You want a purely intellectual approach
Excited to follow your curiosity,
