Temple of Being

When we understand the body, the nervous system & its adaptations, we can remove shame and create true transformation in our lives.

As a professionally certified Somatic therapist with over 10 years experience,

my passion is to help people grow in their capacity so they can process the pain, grief and emotions that are otherwise avoided or suppressed.

I guide you to safely navigate and integrate issues like anxiety, depression, trauma-related pain, self-sabotage, and relational trauma.

Focusing on the mind-body connection, Somatic therapy helps you to unlock trauma that is stored within the body at a cellular level.

Together we aim to expand your window of tolerance, allowing you to be with and process your emotions so you can move towards your pain and release it, rather than runaway.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, anxious, emotionally depleted, disconnected or caught in patterns they know are no longer serving them.
You may find yourself reacting from old wounds, struggling to regulate your emotions, navigating relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected from your true purpose or the person you want to be.

I support people to reconnect with themselves, understand the patterns that keep them stuck, and create meaningful change from the inside out.

My approach is integrative, trauma-informed and somatic, recognising the connection between the mind, body, emotions and nervous system. My work supports you to build emotional resilience, regulate stress, strengthen self-worth, heal relational wounds and create healthier patterns in your relationships.

Sessions are available in person and online. If you’re curious about about whether this work is right for you, I invite you to book a complimentary 20 min consultation call.

What is Trauma-Informed Somatic Therapy

A body-centred path towards safety, capacity and wholeness.

Somatic therapy focuses on the mind-body connection. It helps you notice how sensations, emotions and nervous system responses interact, then build more capacity to meet what arises.

By enquiry and with compassionate curiosity we work gently with the body and nervous system to understand protective patterns, grow your capacity for feeling and being with emotion and find completion for looping thoughts and behaviours so you can reconnect to wholeness with a deeper sense of safety.

About Temple of Being

Meet your Therapist

Held with warmth , without judgement

As a Somatic Therapist, I’m deeply passionate about the complexity of being human and the experiences that shape us into who we are. My own healing journey has been a profound part of this path. Navigating chronic health challenges like MCAS, POTS, nervous system dysregulation, grief and trauma has taught me, in deeply personal ways, what it means to feel disconnected from your body, to navigate uncertainty, and to slowly find your way back to yourself.

These experiences have shaped the way I hold space for others. I believe our bodies carry stories, protective patterns and parts of ourselves that may have been pushed away or left unseen. In my practice, I create a warm, compassionate and non-judgemental space where these parts can be gently acknowledged, felt and welcomed back into the whole. Wholeness is healing.

My own personal hardships along with my training, experience and ongoing commitment to this work, have given me a deep sense of empathy, humility and understanding for the courage it takes to heal. I don't believe you need to become a different person to heal.

I believe there can be a process of remembering who you are underneath the adaptations, protection mechanisms and stories that you have had to develop along the way.

I don't ask my clients to walk somewhere I have never been.

I walk beside them with humility, curiosity and deep respect for their individual journey, while honouring that their body, their story and their healing are uniquely their own.

Womens health and MCAS

Menopause and adrenal fatigue

Somatic therapy can help women in menopause by addressing the physical and emotional symptoms associated with this transition, such as stress, anxiety, and bodily discomfort, through techniques that promote body awareness, relaxation, and self-regulation.

Stress releases cortisol which can spike adrenals and exacerbate menopause symptoms.

I offer support to women who are feeling overwhelmed , forgotten or just plain exhausted , while navigating the physical and emotional symptoms of Menopause
