Are you fatigued, overwhelmed and in pain?
Is illness affecting your ability to enjoy life?
I offer a nourishing, gentle space to understand together what your body needs. Symptoms of illness can be overwhelming. Together we can teach your body to feeling safe again. A safe nervous system encourages your body to naturally return to a healing state.
I can teach you why and how to do this.
Originally training in occupational therapy, I began my career supporting young people with chronic fatigue (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/CFS/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) and fibromyalgia. My deep interest in the mind-body connection led me to further develop my practice with therapies such as mindfulness, yoga, and reverse therapy.
Since then I have added the psychotherapies of hypnotherapy, NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and Internal Family Systems (IFS). This informed, holistic approach allows me to work deeply and compassionately, to help you with both physical and emotional healing.
As well as learning about healing within the nervous system, we explore what else impacts your health. As thoughts, emotions and memories are stored in our bodies, part of our work together will be gently exploring past and present emotional stresses, anxieties and traumas to move towards healing. We will also use evidence-based visualisations to encourage your own body's healing mechanisms to function well.
Most of my experience is working with people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS/ME) and Fibromyalgia, which are linked with being in a state of autonomic dysfunction (Dysautonomia). I am very interested in working with people with autoimmune disorders and other chronic illnesses who wish to explore their mind-body connection..
