HOW I WORK
Many people who’ve experienced significant trauma throughout life feel that their experiences are so extreme, rare and damning that they can barely relate to their own biography. They can often feel emotionally isolated from family, friends and sometimes even the rest of society due to what I describe as the ‘loneliness of the trauma journey’ and can have a deep-seated belief that they’re irreparably broken. I truly understand this perspective as it was my own for many years.
The truth is though that transformation and healing are your birth-right and the ability to move from pain to joy is an ever-present well-spring within your soul-essence that can be accessed at will, if you choose to engage with the catalysing spiritual tools which are innately yours. In this regard, I highly recommend reading Dr Sue Morter’s book ‘The Energy Codes’ which illuminates this theme beautifully.

I’m a firm believer in this definition of elegance and prioritise it as the foundation of your journey with me. Therapy of any sort does not need to be a long, hard slog. Often when clients come to me, they have seen many other practitioners, sometimes over a period of years and whether the issue is acute or long-term, they can perceive their need to change as a mountain to climb or a mammoth journey filled with perils and uncertainty.
Whilst a consistent part of my therapeutic role is to compassionately see, hear and understand you as a unique whole human-being, a large part of my initial work is to enable you to perceive your own healing and goals as readily achievable and a state of being which is already ripening within you. The truth is that no-matter what pain or trauma we carry inside of us, it’s always the case that joy, empowerment and liberation are dwelling right next door to all that we wish overcome.
My experience shows me that in tandem with Rebirthing breathwork and mentoring, the catalyst to your transformation is in providing you with relatively straightforward tools to engage in on a daily basis which help you feel palpably better by just a few percent at a time. Often this is the key in the lock which can bring you to higher ground and where you are in a much stronger place to initiate your path to limitless transformation and health.
I’m a huge believer in small steps leading to great strides and in reality ‘on-the-ground’, this is absolutely what works long-term.
Whilst I am formally trained in Rebirthing Breathwork and am also qualified in Emotional Freedom Technique, Matrix Reimprinting and Reiki, what I utilise in our therapeutic relationship can be drawn from a diverse array of other sources.
Each human being is entirely unique and I do not as a rule use a blanket/one-size-fits-all approach.
Over the years, I’ve experienced profound results with my own healing from the disciplines of functional medicine, the study of bio-energetics in the Alexander Lowen tradition, a variety of other somatic & embodiment techniques, aspects of shamanic practice, understanding physical illness through the lens of meta-medicine/emotional anatomy, working with trauma through understanding of the soul and nature of reincarnation, the power of prayer and fasting and many other methods.
I can potentially draw on these throughout our therapeutic journey together and may suggest these and other modalities as helpful adjunctives to your healing journey.
If I can sum up my life’s philosophy it is that there is no other reason for anything in the Universe to exist except for the purpose of learning, exploration and Love. And ultimately, there is no more noble path one can venture than the path of healing and the path of transforming pain to joy.
If you feel ready to work with me, please book a free discovery call where we can explore your needs.
