Somatic & Energy Healing Therapies

I work using a blend of intuitive, science-based and trauma-informed modalities for mind, body & spirit. At the bottom of the page you will find details of my training.

What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT)?

EFT is also known as Tapping. This is pretty much always the inroad to my work with clients because for most of the women that I support, at some point in time they experienced emotions that were too much, too fast, too soon. In these experiences, they set up coping mechanisms to avoid feeling at all. 

Emotional Freedom Technique is so powerful as it teaches their mind and body that there is a safe way of feeling, tolerating and expressing emotion. Without this there can be a deep fear that I ‘can’t go there’. 

EFT is based on the combined principles of ancient Chinese acupressure and modern psychology. When you tap on acupuncture points and verbalise what you are feeling, it releases the emotion. Emotion is energy in motion and it wants to move. Tapping is like the release valve that creates the opening for emotions to release. 

EFT can be used as a transformational self-help tool or in a private session to help shift limiting thought processes, resolve past traumas and open new ways of moving forward.

Somatic Trauma Therapy

EFT provides the safe key to unlock the doorway into your SOMA. ‘SOMA’ is the living organism in its wholeness – sensations, emotions, internal narratives, actions, non-actions and relational stances. From here, much of our private work together is spent internally exploring your SOMA - using the felt sense to explore feelings, emotions and narratives and using this information to guide us towards exiled, rejected and suppressed parts of your being that are calling for love. 

When we meet these parts and give them space to express emotion and thoughts (gently and safely), you gain awareness of how past perceptions drive your internal narrative and behaviour now. With this awareness and processing of emotion, it opens the doorway to embody a new way of being. Making new choices around how you relate to yourself, others and the world. 

Our bodies and minds are not separate. Often in therapeutic work, the focus remains on the cognitive aspect only, when all of our unresolved emotions, stories and trauma are actually stored in our body. 

To be embodied is to re-inhabit your body. To be present in your sensations, feelings, images and energies through your bodily self and to hold it all with love and compassion. In all my work, we are using the body as the guide.

“The body keeps the score” Bessel Van Der Kolk

What is Theta Healing®?

EFT & Somatic Trauma Therapy are always the start point for my work with private clients so that they can first discover safety within their physical home and develop the trust that it is safe to feel and express. Then, and only if the client is open, we move into the intuitive and energetic work of ThetaHealing, which is much better experienced than explained!

Theta refers to the slower brainwave - a state of deep relaxation. While in this state, we connect to source energy to receive guidance and healings. When you get into a Theta brainwave you move beyond the limiting logic of your mind and connect to a higher consciousness. 

It is in this energy where you feel and remember that you are an infinite being. That you can see and feel your worthiness. That you can receive and feel love, safety and support as you move through the human experience and learn your soul lessons. It is here that you can open to fully allowing source to re-source and guide you. 

We are mind, body and spirit and it is my belief that to thrive we require connection to all parts of our being. When we become stuck in one polar expression, there is imbalance and disharmony. Wholeness comes from feeding and loving all parts. 

ARE THEse modalities safe?

EFT, Somatic Trauma Therapy & Theta Healing® are safe – all certified practitioners follow a code of ethics. Absolutely no healing can be experienced without your permission and free will. While I absolutely believe in the transformational effects of these energy medicines, I never make claims. The healing potential lays in the hands of the receiver who has the choice to receive or not. We can only work on an issue that you are open and willing to work on. 

These modalities are not a substitute for medical treatment and as such does not claim to diagnose or cure any medical condition. It can support well-being for the mind, body and spirit in any way that is needed and is safe to receive with any ongoing medical treatment.
