You might be here because something inside you is ready for change. Maybe it’s been a quiet voice, or perhaps it’s been showing up as physical symptoms, overwhelming emotions, or the pull of familiar but unhelpful habits. At The Somatic Wellness Hub, we offer a space where you can finally listen to that voice, explore it with curiosity, and begin to uncover a new way of being—one rooted in calm, clarity, and a deeper sense of self.
My Approach
As a Somatic Practitioner, Meditation Teacher, and Sobriety Expert, I guide people on a path of reconnecting with their bodies and inner worlds in a trauma-informed, compassionate way. My work blends ancient practices with modern insights to support you in healing old patterns, releasing stored stress, and developing a more harmonious relationship with your mind, body, and spirit.
Through The Somatic Wellness Hub, I teach you how to harness body-based practices—such as mindful movement, breathwork, and meditation—to reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, and shift the habits that no longer serve you. My approach is designed for both beginners and those with extensive experience, focusing on creating a gentle, supportive path to long-term wellbeing.
What You Can Expect
Many of the symptoms we experience—stress, compulsive habits, anxiety, even emotional numbness—are often rooted in trauma, stored stress, or unprocessed emotions. At The Somatic Wellness Hub, we address these issues holistically, recognising that the body holds the key to unlocking profound change. Through carefully curated somatic practices, you’ll learn to:
Whether you’re struggling with compulsive behaviours, feeling out of alignment, or simply seeking a deeper sense of inner peace, these practices can support you in cultivating a grounded, authentic connection with yourself. This work isn’t just about overcoming habits; it’s about fostering a liberated life that feels aligned, fulfilling, and true to who you are.
Why a Trauma-Informed Approach Matters
Healing isn’t a one-size-fits-all process, and each person’s journey is unique. In our work together, you’ll experience trauma-informed relaxation, mindfulness, and meditation practices that meet you exactly where you are. These approaches encourage a gentle relationship with your inner world, supporting you as you release stored trauma and regulate your nervous system. With each step, you’ll begin to build the capacity to move through life with more grace, stability, and ease.
A Life of Calm, Joy & Purpose is Possible
Imagine waking up each day feeling calm, clear and connected. At The Somatic Wellness Hub, we believe that a joyful, liberated life isn’t just possible - it’s your birthright. Whether you’re just beginning to question certain habits or you’re already on the path to creating lasting change, this is a space where you can explore, heal and grow with the support you need.
If you’re ready to begin your journey, know that you’re in the right place. Together, we’ll work to build a foundation of inner peace and alignment that will serve you for a lifetime.

At 54, I’m living life with a renewed sense of energy and purpose, thanks to sober living, yoga, and holistic practices like Mindfulness, Reiki and Bach Flower Remedies. After years of using alcohol to cope with stress and anxiety, I made the decision to step away from the drinking cycle and focus on healing from the inside out. It’s been a life-changing journey, one that’s allowed me to truly reconnect with myself and live in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling.
I am a 6/3 Manifesting Generator. A proud mum to Finn, who’s now pursuing his career dreams in London, and a devoted dog mum to Monty, my loyal but slightly anxious dachshund. My husband, Jim, is my steady support, who spends a lot of time outdoors, especially in the woods, where he connects with nature (and his chainsaws!).
With 24 years of experience as a registered social worker, including the last 18 years specialising in mental health and substance misuse, I bring a wealth of knowledge and empathy to my practice. I’m now a certified vinyasa yoga teacher and Yoga Nidra Teacher registered with Yoga Alliance Professionals and a certified life coach. I’m also a senior member of the ACCPH (Accredited Counsellors, Coaches, Psychotherapists, and Hypnotherapists). Currently, I’m furthering my expertise by studying to be a somatic therapist with the International School of Holistic Healing, aiming to qualify in early 2025.
As a former social worker turned somatic practitioner and sobriety expert, I’m passionate about helping people break free from the habits that no longer serve them. My work focuses on healing the whole person, from the physical body to the mental, emotional and energetic self. I know firsthand that healing isn’t just about quitting alcohol or nicotine —it’s about addressing the deeper reasons why we smoke, drink, overwork, or people-please, and finding new ways to be in our bodies that actually nourish us.
My approach is holistic and compassionate, grounded in both personal experience and my training. I believe in helping people rediscover their true essential nature by calming their nervous system, understanding the root of their struggles, and creating a life that feels balanced and free. This is what I call holistic somatic wellness—a way of living that empowers you to become the person you’ve always been, with more joy, ease, and connection.
