Trauma-Informed Coaching
Life can leave us with emotional scars that shape our perspectives and actions. In our sessions, we’ll explore these experiences, address feelings of shame and limiting beliefs, and engage in shadow work to uncover the parts of ourselves that yearn for healing.

Nutrition
Food is not just fuel; it’s a vital part of your healing journey. Together, we’ll assess your dietary habits, identify foods that support your unique health needs, address food sensitivities, and develop personalized meal plans that enhance your energy, mood, and overall well-being.

Integrative Somatic Therapy
This powerful approach combines the transformative techniques of EMDR with somatic practices to support healing from trauma. Our sessions will incorporate tools like breathwork, mindful movement, and nervous system regulation to gently release stored emotions and stress responses held in the body.
I believe that true health goes beyond just treating symptoms; it’s about uncovering the root causes that have been holding you back. Trauma can deeply affect our bodies, often showing up as physical issues that don’t truly heal until we address the emotional wounds beneath the surface.
Many physical conditions, like chronic pain, digestive problems, and fatigue, can be connected to unresolved trauma. By exploring these past experiences and how they impact your body, we can work together to promote healing at a deeper level. This approach not only helps ease physical symptoms but also nurtures your overall well-being, empowering you to reclaim your vitality and live a more fulfilling life.
Healing at the Cellular Level
Your journey is unique, and the care you receive should reflect that.
I’m committed to creating personalized care plans that honour your experiences and needs. By integrating targeted nutrition, somatic practices, and trauma-informed coaching, we’ll work together to uncover and break free from dysfunctional patterns, empowering you to take control of your health and well-being.
Here, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free space to show up as your authentic self. Your experiences matter, and I’m here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
If you’re ready to address the root causes of your challenges, I invite you to take the next step. Let’s begin this transformative journey together—I can’t wait to connect with you!
