Somatic Wellness Hub

Welcome

---

“I have come to the conclusion that human beings are born with an innate capacity to triumph over trauma. I believe not only that trauma is curable, but that the healing process can be a catalyst for profound awakening - a portal opening to emotional and genuine spiritual transformation.

PETER A. LEVINE, PhD

This hub is a gathering place for all of my offerings, which includes free resources, guided practices, short courses, 1:1 somatic therapy, live online and in-person circles, retreats and the HeartSomatics™ Membership, which is at the heart of my work.

It’s here to help you slow down, reconnect and begin at a pace that feels right for you.

🔸Start here🔸

Explore the free mini-course The Gentle Nervous System Reset to learn why your nervous system is often running the show and try simple micro-practices to begin regulating.

🔸Go deeper🔸

Each month I offer a free HeartSomatics™ workshop a space for those curious or interested in somatics, exploring themes like emotional flow, nervous system healing and embodied presence. Whether you decide to join the membership or not, there’s real value in attending if you want to experience how this approach feels in your own body.

You can check the calendar for all upcoming events. If you’re not yet a member, you’ll only see public workshops and gatherings. Joining the membership unlocks access to member-only circles, replays and resources, supporting you to bring somatic practice into everyday life.

The HeartSomatics™ Membership is the heart of my work - weaving together weekly live circles, self-paced practices and a nurturing community to support your ongoing self-healing path.

And if you’d like a more personal introduction, you’re always welcome to book a free connection call to explore how 1:1 somatic therapy or the membership might support you.

About

I’m a trauma-informed somatic therapist and meditation teacher with over 25 years’ experience, 19 of those specialising in mental health, trauma and substance misuse.

For many years I lived with disconnection and dissociation. I adapted to survive in ways that left me feeling cut off inside - using alcohol to numb anxiety, quiet my mind and cope with the exhaustion of overworking and perfectionism. Choosing a different path, a somatic path, changed everything. It has been my way of finding aliveness, connection and ease again.

I help people restore the connection they’ve lost - with themselves, with others and with life. This is work I’ve walked myself, and now it’s the heart of the Somatic Wellness Hub and HeartSomatics™.

Through a blend of body–mind awareness and both bottom-up and top-down approaches, I support nervous system regulation and the resolution of identity patterns shaped by developmental and relational trauma, patterns like shame, low self-esteem and chronic self-judgement.

Change doesn’t come from forcing ourselves to be different. It comes from creating the right conditions for connection to reawaken and meeting what is here now, so that new experiences of safety, belonging and self-trust can emerge.

This isn’t about fixing what’s broken. It’s about remembering what was never lost.
