  • Recognise what you may be feeling
  • Identify one small thing you need
  • Choose a supportive next step

You do not need previous experience with meditation, yoga or somatic practices.

Ways to work with me

Individual Somatic Therapy

Return to Self Private Pathway

A personalised 12-session somatic therapy pathway for women who want consistent individual support after loss or major life change. Sessions are held weekly wherever possible and no less frequently than fortnightly. The pathway gives us the time and continuity to understand and work with the patterns that keep happening, rather than responding only to what feels most urgent each week.

$2,160 upfront, or three monthly payments of $740
