Anxiety is a natural part of being human. My driving passion is to help you change your relationship with it so it no longer controls you. Rather than resist, avoid, numb or fear it, I will help you normalise it and teach you how to embrace, manage and transform it into something useful.

We can't think our way out of anxiety, it's happening in the body as a physiological, memorised response to a real or perceived threat based on past experiences and unresolved traumas. When we have had many acute stresses, trauma is created in the body and the nervous system LEARNS to live in a state of activation. This creates a dysregulated nervous system that can't then tell the difference between real or perceived threats. This is when anxiety  becomes unmanageable - our  thoughts fuel the feeling and the feeling fuels the thoughts which then affects our behaviour and sleep. With Breathwork, somatic movement and subconscious reprogramming therapies, you'll learn to regain control of the emotion, regulate  your nervous system and change the feeling on the inside to relieve, manage & prevent day-to-day symptoms. We will also work on healing the roots of the anxiety and restoring safety and trust in the body.

Many of us are in a hyperarousal state, which means the fight or flight mode (SNS) is over active and cortisol is elevated. A little stress is normal, but when it takes control, it creates trauma in the body, leading to physiological responses like anxiety, fatigue, and burnout. I will help you understand the root thoughts and feelings, learn acceptance and mindfulness, teach you to slow down and regulate with your breathe to activate the rest & digest mode (PNS) whilst co-creating solutions and teaching practices so stress is no longer your way of life. 

​Anxious & Ambivalent attachments are very common and rooted in our childhood and relational traumas. It helps explain toxic relationship patterns & difficulty finding & sustaining healthy, lasting relationships. Trapped in compulsive thinking, fearing rejection, searching for proof of a disconnection whilst also looking for reassurance... Sounds familiar?

​

The good news is that attachment systems can be changed. 
 

With self-compassion I will help you heal unresolved traumas and move into secure attachment. Through conscious coaching, subconscious reframing, inner child healing & somatic body work your nervous system will release and heal stored trauma, learn security and through neuroplasticity reframe limiting beliefs and unlearn sabotaging thoughts and behaviours. 

You will also get to be part of support community of others working through this.

The type of trauma I work with is often subtle, everyday trauma that many of us experience at different stages of life — from in utero, through childhood and adolescence, into adulthood. This usually arises in the context of family dynamics, our environment, and relationships.

​

Developmental Trauma:

• Sometimes called childhood trauma.

• It happens when, during key stages of development (infancy, childhood, adolescence), a child’s emotional, physical, or relational needs weren’t consistently met.

• This doesn’t always mean “big” or obvious traumatic events. It can also come from:

  • Not feeling seen, heard, or understood.

  • Not being soothed when distressed.

  • Growing up with critical, emotionally unavailable, or unpredictable caregivers.

  • Environments of neglect, chaos, or chronic stress.

• Over time, this can shape nervous system regulation, sense of self-worth, and the way someone connects with others.

• ​

Relational Trauma (Attachment Wounds)

• Refers to trauma that comes specifically from relationships — often with parents, family, or romantic partners.

• This includes:

  • Repeated experiences of betrayal, abandonment, or rejection.

  • Emotional abuse, gaslighting, or manipulation.

  • Being in relationships where safety, trust, or boundaries were violated.

• Relational trauma often leads to difficulties with trust, boundaries, intimacy, and a deep fear of rejection or abandonment.

How They Overlap

• Developmental trauma often is relational, because our early development depends on relationships with caregivers.

• As adults, unresolved developmental trauma can repeat itself in relationships (e.g., choosing unavailable partners, struggling with boundaries, people-pleasing, or fearing conflict).

​

Working with the body and nervous system (through modalities like breathwork, somatic  trauma therapy, and trauma-informed coaching) helps people to re-pattern these early imprints, regulate their nervous system, and create healthier relationships with themselves and others.

​​

Our inner child is us. It's all of our emotional and mental experiences since in utero  that were happening in our bodies during moments of not feeling safe, seen, heard, recognised, valued or loved, regardless of how much our parents cared and loved us. Our nervous system is an imprint of these past experiences, traumas and suppressed emotions. Children need help to regulate their emotions and nervous systems, so how our parents showed up, how much unresolved trauma they had, and how their nervous systems were have an impact on us. ​We all have some degree of childhood trauma, whether we got lost in a supermarket, heard our parents argue or experienced violence. If we were not made to feel loved, recognised, important and safe in these moments, our nervous system learns to feel unsafe and we believe we're not good enough or not loveable. We develop defence and self-soothing mechanisms that become hardwired into our survival and the nervous system becomes increasingly dysregulated trying to maintain as adults. This is often a cause of attachment disorders and low self-worth. 

​

With a lot of self-compassion, love and kindness  I'll help you connect to your inner you, with the power of your breath and somatic techniques, you can reconnect to the parts of you that need something they didn't get enough of or at all.  

We all know how important a restful and peaceful sleep is to our mood and overall wellbeing. One of the main symptoms of anxiety and stress is wakefulness, restfulness, night sweats and difficulty falling back to sleep due to a racing mind and racing heart. I will help you identify the root of the sleep disorder, use therapies like hypnosis to teach the mind to relax and let go and facilitate Breathwork & movement to help you discharge an over-active sympathetic nervous system. This will help release suppressed emotion and unresolved trauma and put your nervous system in a restorative state.
