I am passionate about helping and guiding others to step into the most authentic version of themselves and finally realising they can have the life, the peace, the success, the happiness, the relationships they have always dreamt of.

I found in my practise so many clients feel defeated because they don’t know the why - why am I like this? Have you ever pulled up a weed just to find it has regrown again? This is why unlike other therapists, I combine a number of different therapy modalities, coaching approaches and intuitive guidance to get to the root cause and not simply address the symptoms.

My approach is suited to those who are courageous about changing their life, because we will go deep. No quick fixes here.

The framework of my therapy system is based on combining traditional therapy methods (looking at client’s past to understand their present) with coaching methods (looking at the current problematic behaviours to modify them) with alternative modality systems (EFT, Somatics, Forensic Healing, Energy Medicine, Psych-K, Reconnective Healing, Breathwork, Meditation, Biofeedback methods), working on body-mind-emotion-spirit connection.

As a Trauma Informed Coach I practice the understanding of the presence of past trauma in a client’s present-day experience. I anchor my work in the present, not the past. I focus on the client’s current life and how trauma is affecting them today. My aim is to utilize coaching strategies to help the client build up their strengths, healthy beliefs, and positive coping strategies rather than just extinguishing “negative” behaviours and beliefs. This is why I use the bottom-up approach in my sessions.

The bottom-up approach to therapy refers to the type of therapy that starts its work with the ‘base’ of the brain. This refers to the part of the brain that is responsible for automatic reflexes and survival (like your fight/flight/freeze response).

The strength of bottom-up therapies is that clients learn to deal with previously unmanageable, uncomfortable feelings without becoming overwhelmed. They acquire skills to tolerate and respond to them without wanting to block or numb the discomfort. The increased awareness of their range of responses can also help clients better understand what their particular triggers are. Then successfully navigate on their journey towards resolving those triggers and live a fulfilling life.

Healing does not mean you will no longer have challenges or problems. What is means is that you will gain resiliency to face whatever comes your way and with your new perspective, empowered mindset, you will remain solution-focused and know that a setback is a setup for greater things to come.

I am passionate about empowering clients and giving them everyday tools to help them create a life that they love. You will no longer be a victim of your set of circumstances.

Look forward to meeting you.
