If you grew up in an environment where safety was inconsistent or conditional, your nervous system learned to adapt—often through over functioning, people-pleasing, or shutting down. You might feel disconnected from your body and stuck in survival mode, overwhelmed by anxiety, sadness, or self-doubt. Becoming a parent yourself, or trying to, has brought up more than you expected. You've lost touch with the things that made you "you". Your mind races with "what-ifs", questioning your instincts. You feel pressure to do it all perfectly, but feel exhausted and empty inside. You long for steadiness, self-trust, and a deeper sense grounding.

I utilize a somatic-IFS informed approach to support adults healing from complex trauma or navigating conception, pregnancy and postpartum. Together, we will untangle protective patterns, reprocess emotional wounds, and reconnect with your innate wisdom. As you reconnect with your body and build compassionate relationships with your inner parts, you’ll start to feel more grounded, present, and whole.

Trauma, pregnancy and postpartum can bring profound physical, emotional, and psychological shifts- You don't have to navigate them alone. I provide a warm, compassionate space to reconnect with your body and rediscover the steady, wise Self that’s always been within you.
