Somatic IFS Therapy
Trauma Healing • Nervous System Rewiring
London • Hong Kong • Cape Town • New York
and clients all over the world
Why work with me?
I provide a grounded, compassionate, safe space,
with an integrated, practical approach... for you to work through it all.
Alongside my work in trauma healing, internal family systems and somatics, I bring a background in Law and Economics from the University of Cambridge and experience as a management consultant in London. I've lived many lives across New York, Bali, Amsterdam, Cape Town, Hong Kong, New Zealand, which allows me to relate to people from different cultures and contexts.
Whilst we do cover advanced concepts, I am not 'fluffy' or lost in the abstract. I value science as much as spirituality, western as much as eastern approaches. My clients enjoy working with me because I am about real change. I truly understand how to work through disconnection, fears, anxieties, depressions, complex traumas, a body screaming for help and various forms of 'stuckness'.
I support you in:
-
understanding your patterns
-
working through them in the body
-
and making real, aligned changes in your life
Break through your limits, beliefs, reactivity and 'autopilot' habits to the next level of self-mastery.
"The effects of trauma are stored in the body. Until they are addressed there, words alone are not enough."
— Dr Bessel van der Kolk
"Trauma is not what happens to you, but what happens inside you as a result of what happens to you."
— Dr Gabor Maté
As a Somatic and Parts work coach, I work with 3 things:
1) Your Body
Most of us hold tensions in the body from unfelt emotions and past experiences. Our body keeps a record of what doesn't feel 'safe'. Our nervous system stores these as triggers, and cannot tell the difference between a past event and a current one. By releasing and integrating old wounds, we can rewire our patterns, begin to live from the body (rather than the mind) and truly listen to our heart and intuition.
2) Your Emotions
We have to feel our feelings, but most of us were not taught how. With the right tools, we can free ourselves from emotional reactivity. In order to make conscious choices, we must learn to be with, move through and shift states. All of life's problems can be lighter with emotional agility, resilience and hygiene: not avoiding, bottling or drowning.
3) Your Inner Child (and internal system of parts)
In order to truly heal at the root, we have to learn to hold the younger parts of us that feel afraid, rejected, unloved and unaccepted. Life will continue to reveal to us (in painful ways) where we are outsourcing Love, safety and trust, rather than cultivating it within.
RELEASE, REWIRE & REWRITE.
I invite you to embark on a transformational journey with me where you integrate the things that have happened to you, and how they still affect your life. Together we will alchemise your deepest pain into your power.
You'll rewire your old patterns, come into alignment and build a solid foundation of Self-Leadership. You'll learn tools and techniques to master your emotions and nervous system - which you will use for life. Whenever life feels chaotic, overwhelming or intense, you will have the tools you need to navigate it.
You'll be held accountable for implementing the actions needed for true, lasting change and have your blindspots lovingly mirrored back to you.
Live the life you were always meant to: aligned, expansive, free and joyful.
A full-spectrum approach
A comprehensive approach combining a wide range of modalities to effectively calm the mind, as well as tap into your emotions, intuition and overall sense of knowing. Bring your nervous system into a state of safety, create inner harmony between your different parts, and build a strong sense of Self (with clarity and trust).
No longer feel self-limited and self-abandoned. You are worthy.
A multi-disciplinary approach
Self-mastery requires us to look at our entire being. A single approach or method isn't enough to become aware of your blindspots. I leverage my experience in arts/creativity, psychology, business leadership, human behaviour, philosophy, scientific method and spirituality to create a unique 360 growth opportunity. Having lived 'many lives', I work effectively with men and women from all walks of life, across diverse ages, cultures and circumstances. My wide toolkit allows me to tailor our sessions to your needs.
Somatic, body-based approach
Knowing with our conscious mind is not enough - we need to recruit our safety-driven, primal, subconscious selves to make change. Through a combination of Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping), somatic practices and somatic experiencing, you can learn to actually break stuck patterns by working with the body. Shifting the physical body from a state of reactivity to curiosity allows you to rewrite your deepest beliefs and move from knowing to embodiment: your energy will change.
Head/Heart Alignment
Whether you feel too logic-driven or too "gut-feel" driven, if you feel resistance and confusion, it's because your head/heart are out of balance. Moving forward happens with ease when your head and heart are in coherence and aligned with your decision. I share ways to bring balance and inner peace and provide guidance in connecting with a higher power (Source or the Divine), so that you can stop self-sabotaging and move with more flow, faith and confidence.
Tapping into your inner child
Re-parenting is a long journey of giving ourselves everything we needed as a child to feel unconditionally accepted, supported, seen and loved. Through powerful guided meditations and self-reflection exercises, we build a healthy relationship for you and your inner child, which becomes the foundation of Self-Love for your entire life. Co-creating your life with your inner child creates more joy and alignment, which leads to abundance and shining your light for the world around you.
Systematic frameworks
Being intentional about breaking through personal barriers, identifying patterns and creating new opportunities requires systematic frameworks. I don't just deliver WHAT to do, I help you discover for yourself WHY and HOW to approach your present and future moment of change, and truly master personal evolution in your own life.
Health and physical wellness
Our physical condition is the basis for all other personal growth. Bringing in my expertise in nutrition, supplementation, female hormones and the menstrual cycle, plant medicine ceremony sitting, Traditional Chinese Medicine, psychedelic microdosing, and energy healing, we take a comprehensive look at your sleep, diet and overall lifestyle to set you up for success.
Ready for a new reality?
So you're considering working together to get 'unstuck'? You're yearning for more time, capacity and energy throughout the day by releasing stagnant energy, beliefs, triggers, patterns and things holding you back?
If you're ready to take this leap and commit wholeheartedly to yourself, book a free call with me to get started.
Let's embark on a collaborative and transformative journey together.
You can't just think your way out of trauma. Healing starts from the inside out, through the body, the nervous system and the emotions you've been avoiding.
