You’re Not Broken Your body is responding exactly as it learned to ...

If you’ve been feeling stuck in anxiety, fear, trauma, or emotional overwhelm - you’re not alone — and more importantly, you’re not beyond help.

As a Registered Nurse with over 30 years’ experience, I’ve seen how deeply the body holds onto stress, shock, and past experiences.

But I’ve also seen something else:

The body has an incredible ability to heal — when given the right conditions.

My Story:​

My journey into this work became personal after experiencing my own traumatic accident.

After a head injury from a fall, I intuitively used techniques to calm my system — even before formally training in them. I found myself naturally using what I later learned was Havening, alongside Reiki.

Despite the trauma, I experienced no long-term emotional or nervous system effects.  A completely different journey to a previous head injury.

Those moments changed everything for me.

Showing me that trauma doesn’t have to stay stuck, nor shape your healing path.

I Believe That:​

  • Your symptoms are not the problem — they are signals

  • Your nervous system is trying to protect you, not sabotage you

  • Healing doesn’t need to be forceful or overwhelming

  • You don’t need to relive the past to be free of it. 

  • Instead, we work gently with your mind and body to release what’s been held — safely and effectively.

What Makes This Work Unique Is:

The integration of ...

  • Medical and nursing knowledge

  • Neuroscience and trauma understanding

  • Havening Techniques (psychosensory trauma release)

  • Neuro Linguistic Programming (rewiring patterns and beliefs)

  • Reiki and intuitive awareness

This allows me to work at both a biological and emotional level — helping you to create real, lasting change.

How I Work With Clients:

When you work with me, you won’t be judged, rushed, or pushed beyond what feels safe.

Instead, I will:

  • Meet you exactly where you are

  • Listen deeply — not just to your words, but to what’s underneath

  • Help you gently connect to what your body is holding

  • Guide you through a process of release and reset

Many clients describe feeling lighter, calmer, and more like themselves — often sooner than they expected.

Who I Help:

I work with teens & adults who are experiencing:

  • Trauma from specific events

  • Medical or dental fears and phobias

  • Anxiety, overwhelm, or emotional stress

  • Grief and loss

  • Feeling “stuck” and unable to move forward

You don’t have to keep carrying this.

There is a way forward — and I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

What is Havening®?

Havening Techniques® are a gentle, neuroscience-informed approach that help the brain and body release the emotional impact of stressful or traumatic experiences.

Sometimes the body continues to react long after an event has passed. Havening® uses soothing touch and guided focus to help calm the nervous system and update how the memory is held.  It 'de-links' the emotion from the event.

The process is gentle, does not require reliving the event, and many people notice they feel calmer, lighter and more in control afterwards.
