Work With Me
Every session is built around the same foundation — safety first, then the body, then whatever needs to move through you. What that looks like depends on who you are and what you're carrying.
1:1 Somatic Therapy - Adults
For people moving through grief, burnout, anxiety, trauma, or a major life transition - or those who just need some extra support.
Sessions combine somatic movement, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed practice to help you feel what's actually happening in your body, and build the tools to work with it instead of against it.
What a session can include:
A grounding practice to arrive and settle
Space to share what's present for you right now
Gentle guided movement or stillness — whatever your body needs
Somatic processing of what's held in the body, at a pace that feels safe
Time to integrate and reflect before you leave
Session details: 60 minutes · In-person (Wānaka) or Online
For teenagers navigating anxiety, low mood, or overwhelm who find it hard to put what they're feeling into words.
Teenagers often carry a lot in their bodies before they have language for it — a tight chest, restlessness, exhaustion, shutting down. These sessions offer a calm, non-judgmental space to explore what's happening beneath the surface, using movement, grounding, and age-appropriate somatic tools.
A few important things:
I am a somatic and trauma-informed practitioner — I offer supportive, body-based sessions, but I don't diagnose or treat mental illness. If a teenager needs clinical mental health support, I'll help connect your family with the right people alongside this work.
Sessions for under-18s require a short intake conversation and parental consent before we begin.
I'll always be clear with you about what is and isn't kept confidential between your teenager and you as a parent — we'll agree on this together at the start.

Somatic Support for Teens/Kids
For those who feel supported by community as much as individual work. Small groups (4–8 people) move through somatic practice, movement, and reflection together — a space to feel less alone in what you're carrying.
Groups run periodically in Wānaka — join the waitlist to hear when the next one opens.
