Hey I’m Kate, a trauma informed Somatic Therapist, energy worker, yoga and mindful movement and breath teacher.

I believe we are all alchemists and have the ability to transform our pain into our power. It’s no coincidence that you’ve found yourself here and I am honoured to connect with you.

I’m passionate about helping people reconnect with their bodies and the innate wisdom in all of us to process and heal deeply and foster ever lasting change emotionally, physically and energetically through mind-body therapeutic practices.

If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or disconnected from stress, past trauma, the pace of everyday life or you simply want to learn more about yourself and want a more embodied way to heal I would love to explore how I can support you on your journey.

My approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and tailored to meet you exactly where you are. Explore the techniques I use below.

What somatic therapy covers

Nervous system and emotional regulation

Teach you nervous system regulation techniques that teach your body how to shift out of fight, flight or freeze and return to a place of calm and safety.

Inner child work

Help you to heal unresolved emotional wounds from your childhood, which can continue to influence your thoughts, behaviors, and relationships as an adult.

Memory and trauma processing

Support you with processing painful memories and emotions, helping you to navigate your memories and emotional responses with a greater sense of safety and clarity.

Somatic movement, mindfulness and breath

Use movement and breath to reconnect your body with its natural rhythms and allow you to express emotions or sensations that may not have been processed.

Parts therapy work

Support you to understand and heal the different aspects, or "parts," of your personality, each of which may have developed to cope with past experiences or unmet needs.

Body-based emotional and trauma release

Use body-based trauma release to help reestablish the mind-body connection, bringing awareness to where emotions and experiences are stored in the body and allowing for release and healing.

What is somatic therapy?

Somatic therapy is a type of therapy that focuses on the connection between the mind and body to help you process trauma and release stored stress and tension. It uses a combination of techniques such as breathwork, movement, mindfulness, self-regulation skills and processing techniques to support emotional, physical and energetic healing.

Emotional experiences, especially trauma, aren’t just stored in the mind; they’re also held in the body
