Understanding often arrives long before change does. The distance between the two is where this work happens.

I’m a Somatic therapist based in Tāmaki Makaurau/Auckland who offers a body-based, experiential approach to therapy. Rather than working through analysis alone, somatic therapy works with your nervous system directly - through attention, sensation, and direct experience. Sessions are collaborative and paced to what your nervous system can actually integrate, without urgency toward insight.

Over time, this tends to look like: more capacity to remain present with difficult feelings, less reactivity, and a growing sense of connection with yourself, your instincts, your creativity, and sense of agency in your life.
