Traditional talk therapy is where you explore the details and the story of what’s happening or happened to you and in the talking about it, you can learn to better understand your own processes, triggers, and strategies for coping. Traditional talk therapy is usually past orientated and based in psychology, psychotherapy, and or counselling and is absolutely essential for processing trauma and trauma integration.

Somatic-based coaching, which is my approach, is present-moment and desire oriented and focused on what it is you’re desiring to experience, working directly with the soma (the body) and the body-mind connection. We go directly into where the emotions have been stored and I guide you through processes that allow you to unlock and release what has been unconsciously blocking you from what it is you deeply want/desire. This kind of work pivots around interoception, and the body’s internal cues and wisdom.

The beauty of somatic work is that we don’t need the story to heal the underlying wounding or blocks, so we don’t spend a lot of time in the past. We can work with what’s present in your somatic experience (the body-mind experience) in the present moment. It’s profound and deeply transformative.

All of this is anchored into both the latest science in neurobiology, my sexological academic education, and combined with the ancient living wisdom of Tantra and Taoism.

All sessions are conducted online over zoom, so you can be anywhere in the world and in the comfort of your own home.

Our sessions will often be a combination of talking and somatic-based processes (usually you sitting or lying down with your eyes closed). My dedication to you is to actively listen and hold a safe space for you where your deepest truths are honored and dignified. From there we will often do ‘parts work’ or ‘aspecting work’ where we work directly with your inner child, as most of us carry wounding from our childhoods that unconsciously drive many of the triggers and behaviors we are seeking to resolve and integrate.

And depending on what you’re desiring to achieve/experience, there are guided pleasure-based sessions where I guide and initiate you into sacred sexuality practices designed to liberate and heal that are tantric and or taoist in nature - for these sessions you will have complete privacy, with cameras off.

Your experience will be unique to you and your desires, and will be carefully and thoughtfully crafted to support you in your journey.

If you decide to continue, you’ll be sent an application form, and I will then contact you to schedule a free, no pressure call where you can ask me any questions you may have and we can see if we’re a good fit for each other.

From there you can feel intuitively if you’re ready and if I’m the person you want to work with.

Yes. All sessions are on zoom, so you can be anywhere in the world and in the comfort of you’re home environment.

For our sessions I recommend you have privacy. Somewhere where you won’t be interrupted and preferably where you have sound privacy.

The answer to that is it depends.

Yes you can do this work if you’ve experienced trauma, but that yes comes with the caveat that you’ve already done work to integrate it through other traditional talk therapies such as psychology, counselling, or psychotherapy previously.

If you have unintegrated trauma, trauma where you have not yet sought psychological or psychotherapeutic support, then this is not the right modality for you at this time.

If you’ve got complex post-traumatic stress disorder, (C-PTSD) or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), then this work is not for you and I would encourage you to seek support from a trauma specialist if you haven’t already.

if you’re unsure if this is right for you, we can discuss further on our call and I can explain my scope of practice in more detail.
