A Holistic, Somatic Approach to Spiritual Care
 

Integrative holistic care honours your life story, your body, and your spirituality—an approach that embraces the whole person. It provides person-centred, body-oriented therapy, designed to meet your unique needs and goals, while moving at a pace that feels right for you.

 

In today’s world, psychological support often focuses on retelling the past, yet rarely addresses the physiological imprints those experiences leave behind. But the body holds its wisdom—a profound storehouse of unconscious knowing that reveals how you live, respond, and process life’s events.
 

This collaborative and experiential approach integrates:

• Mindful awareness & deep listening

• Therapeutic movement & touch

• Creativity & ritual

• Reflection & self-inquiry
   

Each element helps calibrate the many layers of your being, supporting you in cultivating self-awareness, resilience, and balance.

​

My Practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, deeply influenced by:

• Mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy

• Interpersonal neurobiology

• Polyvagal theory

• Incarnational theology

These frameworks help us understand ourselves in response to life’s stressors, offering tools to remain grounded, clear-minded, and at ease.

Years spent working as a hospital chaplain instilled a deep commitment to Non-Violence and Hospitality—values that remain central to her work. I have completed Level 1 & 2 training in Hakomi Psychotherapy, integrating its principles of care into both clinical and personal experience.

Embodied values require respect, sensitivity, and presence—qualities that naturally cultivate meaningful experiences, including those of spiritual depth. This work welcomes curiosity, vulnerability, and the richness of exploring personal transformation.

​

Spirituality, faith, beliefs, and worldviews are deeply personal. Drawing on my extensive experience in clinical pastoral care, I hold space for a wide spectrum of philosophical and theological perspectives with deep reverence and respect.

 

Do you have to be spiritual, religious, or a 'believer' to access care?
Not at all. People of all faiths and none are welcome.
