My Story

Seven years of walking alongside women in their healing

I got into this work because I know what it feels like to struggle in love.

I chose men who treated me like an afterthought and tried to convince them to see my worth. I stuck around when I wasn’t being chosen, hoping they would change. I was terrified to be fully honest in partnership. I swept feelings under the rug because I didn’t want to ask for too much and face rejection.

I was a painful mix of hyper independent when love felt stable, and wildly anxious the moment it became unpredictable. I couldn’t hold onto myself in relationship. And the worst part was, I knew exactly why I was doing it.

I had studied attachment theory, nervous system regulation, trauma responses. I could explain my patterns in clinical detail. I understood where they came from, who they were protecting, what they were trying to say.

And I still couldn’t stop.

Nothing changed until I had two things at the same time: a real space to practise relating differently, and nervous system work that reached the part of me where the pattern actually lived. Not my mind. My body. The place that responds before thought catches up.

The Approach

If you’ve hit a ceiling
in therapy

If you’ve already tried therapy and feel like you’ve hit a ceiling, you’re not alone. Traditional talk therapy asks “what do you want to talk about today?” It’s open ended, exploratory, and valuable. But it often stays at the level of story and understanding, and for many women, that’s exactly where they’ve been stuck for years.

This work is different. It’s forward focused, integration led, and change oriented. Every session has direction. We’re not just processing, we’re moving in the direction of your goals. We use somatic tools, shadow work, and conscious relationship practices to reach the layers that talking alone doesn’t get to: the body, the unconscious, the patterns that run before the mind catches up.

This is a place to have your core themes illuminated, the reasons you’ve been stuck for so long, and how to move forward to the life and the love that you want. It’s a place to take back your power, understand your part, and build the tools to actually live differently.

How I Work
01
I follow the body first

Most approaches work top down: understanding leads to change. In this work we go the other way. We follow the sensation, the impulse, the contraction, the place that already knows something the mind hasn’t admitted yet. Understanding follows the shift rather than preceding it. That’s what makes it last.

02
This is different from conventional therapy

In my work, I’m interested in what’s ahead. While traditional therapy approaches often focus on the past, I’m more focused on what needs to shift in the here and now. That’s not to say we won’t ever discuss your past, we will, but we will mostly be working on what’s needed for you to have the life and relationships you want.

03
Your shadow will join the journey

I don’t do surface level work. The parts of you that aren’t easy to look at, the patterns you’re ashamed of, the contradictions, the places you’ve been unkind to yourself or others, these are exactly where the most important work lives.

Words from Women

“This was the first time in my life where I felt completely seen, completely held, and completely accepted. And the impact goes beyond me — I’m even seeing it in my daughter.”

— Belen, 1:1 client

“I had done lots of therapy before. Therapists told me I could write books about my issues. But I understood my issues mentally and didn’t really change anything. What shifted was when something clicks that doesn’t just click mentally and rationally, but physically and emotionally.”

— Julia, Secure Program
