Somatic Experiencing is a body-centered approach to healing trauma. It focuses on resolving trauma by helping individuals tune into bodily sensations rather than just the story of the event. Science shows that trauma can get trapped in the nervous system, causing physical and emotional symptoms. By gently tracking these sensations, Somatic Experiencing helps release this energy, restoring balance and promoting natural healing and regulation of the nervous system.
Through my sessions with my clients, I am also learning and healing from my own trauma. My work is very inspired by what I am navigating. I build deep trust with my clients so we can heal collectively.
Specifically, I am a survivor and now thriver of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, with undiagnosed chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia, chronic uritcaria. And now I am working on my attachment and childhood trauma, as well as surgical PTSD.
I have ADHD, so I work with a lot of neuro-spicy people and I am trans non-binary.
The Feldenkrais Method is a gentle, movement-based approach that helps you reconnect with your body through awareness. Using small, exploratory movements, it supports nervous system regulation, reduces chronic tension, and builds new patterns of ease and coordination. Rather than forcing change, Feldenkrais invites curiosity and presence, allowing you to sense and move in more functional, integrated ways. It’s a practice of learning from within—at your own pace, in your own way.
Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a therapeutic approach that helps you understand and work with the different “parts” inside you—such as the inner critic, the protector, or the wounded child. By recognizing and listening to these parts with compassion, you create internal harmony and healing. IFS supports self-awareness and emotional balance by encouraging curiosity rather than judgment, helping you build a trusting relationship with yourself and fostering deep psychological integration.
