Illuminate Your Inner Light Within
Warm, body-centered therapeutic support drawing on Integrative Body Psychotherapy, work, and somatic awareness. We work with what is alive in your body and your life right now, gently and at your own pace.
You've found your way here for a reason. Whether something in your life is quietly asking to shift, or loudly demanding it, I'm here to help you find your way through.
Many of the people who find me are navigating a moment in life where something quietly, or not so quietly, needs to change. Maybe it’s a transition they didn’t see coming. Maybe it’s a feeling they’ve been carrying alone for a long time. Maybe it’s simply the exhaustion of holding everything together while wondering if anyone actually sees them.
What many of them don’t say out loud, at least not at first, is that they’re tired of filtering themselves. Tired of explaining. Tired of being misunderstood. And somewhere underneath all of it, they’re quietly longing to feel genuinely seen, heard, and safe.
This is a place where you don’t need a filter. A place where you feel seen, heard and safe. Exactly as you are. You don’t have to carry this alone. I’m here.
My private practice is rooted in over two decades of therapeutic training. I blend somatic, body-centred work with a compassionate, holistic approach that recognizes the interconnectedness of mind, body, and emotions. Together, we create sessions that honour every part of you.
“Your life purpose doesn’t have to be something huge and insurmountable.
Every single day, and even every single hour, has a purpose waiting for you to discover.
While using your personal numerology and colour calendar, body and breath awareness, and compassionate counselling
I can support you in finding your authentic purpose whenever you need it.”
the foundation
Integrative Body Psychotherapy
At the heart of my counselling work is Integrative Body Psychotherapy (IBP) where Psychology meets the Body and Breath, developed by Jack Lee Rosenberg with Marjorie L. Rand and Diane Asay, and described in their foundational text Body, Self, & Soul.
IBP understands that we are not just thinking beings. We are feeling, breathing, sensing bodies. Our history, our pain, our joy, and our deepest truths are all held in the body, in our breath patterns, in the tension we carry and the aliveness we long for.
In our sessions, breathwork and somatic awareness form a gentle but powerful thread. Some of what IBP-informed sessions may include:
- Conscious breathwork to help release held emotions and open access to your core self
- Gentle body awareness, noticing where tension, ease, or aliveness lives in you
- Exploring the connection between physical sensations and your emotional experience
- Working with the breath as a pathway to your authentic, core self
- A safe, regulated, compassionate space where all parts of you are welcome
This approach is especially meaningful for people who have felt that traditional talk therapy didn’t quite reach the deeper places. Often those places live below words, in the body itself.
