My journey into holistic healing comes from a deeply personal place. Like so many others, I’ve faced my share of struggles—severe anxiety, depression, chronic digestive issues, skin problems, and insomnia. On top of it all, I’ve walked the challenging paths of CPTSD and PTSD. Despite trying countless natural remedies, I often found myself stuck in frustrating cycles of temporary relief, feeling lost and overwhelmed.

Then everything changed. My son endured a month-long hospitalization after a series of medical errors that nearly took his life. That terrifying experience was a turning point, opening my eyes to the significant gaps in traditional care. It taught me the critical importance of being proactive about health—asking the hard questions, diving into research, and finding the answers that make a lasting difference.

This wake-up call led me to leave my corporate job and immerse myself in the world of holistic health. Today, I’m proud to say that I am:

• Currently pursuing accreditation to become a Registered Professional Counsellor,

• A Registered Holistic Nutritionist,

• A Certified Integrative Somatic Practitioner,

• Certified in somatic EMDR therapy, polyvagal theory, advanced vagal toning, attachment theory, and neuroaffective touch,

• A Certified Life Skills Coach,

• A Certified Trauma-Informed Coach,

• A Certified Soul Coach.

Through my studies and personal experiences, I’ve come to understand that many physical health issues are deeply intertwined with unresolved trauma stored in our bodies. This insight informs my approach, which blends targeted nutrition, trauma-informed coaching and somatic practices to support both physical and emotional health.

I believe in a client-centred practice, where we work together to:

• Uncover the root causes of your discomfort,

• Develop personalised care plans that harmonize mind, body, and spirit,

• Implement practical tools for nervous system regulation,

• Create sustainable patterns for long-term well-being.

I have a special focus on working with individuals who have experienced a range of challenges related to trauma. Recognising the sensitivity involved in this work, my ongoing education in counselling and trauma-informed somatic therapy equips me to provide the comprehensive support you deserve, no matter your unique experiences.

At The Vagus Effect, I believe that true healing is possible for everyone. If you’re ready to break free from what holds you back and embark on a journey toward wellness, I’m excited to join you. Together, we’ll uncover the path to a more vibrant you!
