Thank you for your interest in this work and openness to exploring a path of healing through embodied awareness
THE FIRST STEP FOR NEW CLIENTS is a consultation call, followed by an initial somatic therapy session.
From there, clients usually move into one (or both) of two possible paths of work with me:
-
Relational Presence Work & Embodied Healing sessions (verbal and body-based awareness work)
-
Hands-on, trauma-informed massage therapy and somatic touch
During our initial somatic therapy session, we begin by establishing safety and understanding your needs and intentions — I don’t offer any form of bodywork in that first session.

Embodied Healing
These sessions weave together body awareness, mindful dialogue, and trauma-informed presence to support healing and integration.
Each session is unique and guided by what your system is ready for that day. We may work through gentle awareness of sensation, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, or guided inner exploration. The focus is on restoring connection — with your body, emotions, and deeper self.
Touch is not typically included in these sessions, though it may be integrated later in your process if appropriate and desired.
This work draws from Somatic Experiencing®, Gestalt therapy, and relational and grief-oriented approaches. It’s especially supportive for women healing from trauma, burnout, or disconnection, and for those seeking deeper embodiment, emotional regulation, and inner peace.
Hands-on
My trauma-informed massage is designed specifically for women who long for touch that feels both safe and deeply supportive. Unlike standard massage therapy, this work honours the complex ways trauma shapes our relationship with our bodies. If massage has felt unsettling, unhelpful, or even harmful in the past, you may find this approach to be a gentler and more healing fit - one that offers not just relief for muscles and the nervous system, but restoration for the whole self.
This work is not intended for those simply seeking a standard relaxation or deep tissue massage; it is a specialized approach for women wanting a trauma-informed experience.
