Welcome. As an attachment-focused Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, I offer somatic therapy sessions to women online and in person in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
My practice is rooted in over 20 years of working with the body through movement – initially as a dance artist, later as a yoga facilitator, and currently as a trauma-informed somatic practitioner.
I believe in a slow and gentle approach and I lead with compassion and attunement creating a safe space to attend to the wounds that are not meant to be healed on our own.
One of my specialities is working with early childhood and pre-verbal trauma, including prenatal wounding, which often shows up as emotional or physiological symptoms that seem to have no context or medical cause. I also enjoy supporting women recovering after shock trauma and offering guidance in repairing relational ruptures and generational wounds.
In my SE sessions, I weave in somatic touch work, as well as elements of NeuroAffective Touch, emotional embodiment of Integral Somatic Psychology (ISP), IFS-based somatic parts work, and applied Polyvagal Theory to address a range of issues.
I believe that all of us have the innate resilience and capacity to overcome the grip of our past, and as we (re)discover it with the right support, we can find more ease, freedom and joy in being alive.
