Trauma - Informed Life Coach,

Embodied Processing Practitioner/Somatic Trauma Therapist

NLP Practitioner

Mental Health Professional/ Mental Health Recovery Coach

I’m a doting mother and a down to earth, grounded empath who’s passionate about personal growth with a commitment to my own self development and healing and supporting others to overcome their personal barriers and live their lives fully and without limitations rooted in unresolved traumatic imprint. I bring a wealth of professional and personal experience, skills and wisdom to my Life Coaching and Trauma Therapy role.

I’m a qualified and experienced (non-clinical) Mental Health Professional; certified Trauma Informed Life Coach and NLP Practitioner, and certified Embodied Processing Practitioner /Somatic Trauma Therapist.

In addition to my professional skills, I’m informed by my own lived experience of facing extreme and ongoing adversity and share the wisdom of my own lived experience of recovery, overcoming and healing from extreme anxiety and complex trauma through the practice of somatic experiencing and Embodied Processing .

My passion for supporting others in their efforts to take ownership of their individual recovery from mental illness, led to the awareness that I needed more than my Mental Health Recovery Coaching skills to be able to help people shift their often stuck thinking and negative beliefs about themselves and to be able to move forward in their lives.

Over the 20 years I have worked in the mental health recovery space, I observed a common issue impacting the lives of the hundreds of people I supported as I sat with them, held safe space and listened to their personal life stories. Although each person’s life and experience was different, I began to understand that the negative experiences that impacted their ability to manage daily life and to move forward were rooted in the experiences that resulted in trauma.

Identifying deeply with the experience of trauma through my own lived experience, and armed with the knowledge that talking about trauma does not help a person to move through it ( I had sat with my clients in their psychologists office many times while they re-told their stories, only to be re-traumatised) … I sought out new and effective treatments that facilitated healing and recovery from the impact of trauma.

I explored different modalities and world leaders in transformational change and was led to study and certify as an Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) Practitioner and Life Coach. NLP is an effective modality to facilitate positive change and transform negative and unhelpful thoughts, beliefs and patterns to positive and facilitate positive change.

NLP applies simple principles and effective tools to discover where the subconscious mind is out of alignment with a person’s conscious thought processes and facilitates a positive shift in the unconscious blocks and beliefs that get in the way of us being who we are and how we want to be living our lives.

Eager to know more and to find the modality to facilitate lasting, long term transformation in trauma healing, I went on to train and certify as a Trauma -Informed Life Coach, learning more deeply about trauma and it’s somatic imprint on the body, the nervous system and the subconscious mind, which underpins and drives all of our thinking and belief systems, behaviours and patterns.

My increased curiosity lead me to dive deeper and discover somatic therapy as an effective tool to help a person to ground in their body and to discharge the stored emotions and energy associated with trauma. I had read of Peter Levine’s ground-breaking work in somatic experiencing to heal trauma and began to study somatic modalities and embodiment practices then began applying them personally to help me begin to discharge my own trauma and to inform my work with others living with the impact of trauma.

Wanting to know more, I continued to expand my knowledge of working with the body to resolve trauma and was led to study and certify in the modality of Embodied Processing, a somatic trauma therapy facilitating holistic, long term trauma healing.

In Embodied Processing, I provide safe space to hold and guide you to safely embody, process and discharge traumatic imprint stored in the body, unconscious mind and emotions and complete trauma loops, enabling the body and nervous system to return to a natural and regulated state, whilst integrating parts of the self that were orphaned in trauma.

In my work with you, I instinctively draw upon all of my skill sets, experience and wisdom, to meet you where you are at, to most effectively facilitate your transformation from where you are now, to where you want to be in your life. Although I’m guiding the process, you are in the driver’s seat steering the wheel at all times throughout this deeply empowering process to effect long term, lasting, trauma healing.

I look forward to working with you to facilitate the transformational change that you desire to create in your life.
