My approach
Feminine embodiment coaching
As a Feminine Embodiment coach, I create a container of unconditional acceptance and somatic safety for your unraveling and becoming. In this container, I combine deep questions with somatic exploration. Meaning new awareness is invited up and through your body’s language of sensation, as opposed to only your mind and words. I use body-based/somatic approaches such as breath, sound, movement and reposturing to unfreeze your stored life force (read power!), so you can create deep and lasting transformation.
My approach centres around shedding any limiting or unwanted conditioning from your upbringing, internalised capitalism, patriarchy, ageism, and so on. From here, your essential truths and soul-sourced desires are discovered, integrated and embodied. Drawing on the power of the Erotic, archetypes & mythology, magnetism, and cyclical, nature-based living, you’re supported to somatically reshape how you show up in the world and create a life aligned with your essential Self.

Counselling & somatic trauma
In coaching, the focus is on supporting you from a place of stability, albeit one that feels lacking or out of alignment. As a holistic counsellor, however, I support people through challenging life stages, events, or mental health problems which fall within my scope. Here, the focus is on supporting you through difficulty and/or instability to a place in which further self-exploration and growth are more possible.
These sessions are highly shaped by my studies in somatic trauma practices. Drawing inspiration from somatic Internal Family Systems approaches and applying polyvagal theory, I support clients to understand and regulate their nervous systems as well as work with the various parts of them that might be stuck in past trauma and survival patterns.
Through a discovery call, we can see which of these approaches, if not all, might be best suited to your circumstances and your goals.
The Wild Soul calling
For centuries, the Deep Feminine has been feared, repressed, and tamed. But she is rising.
For centuries, women and gender expansive beings have been conditioned to suppress, contort and shrink parts of themselves, or forced to be more “like men” to make it in the man’s world – the capitalist, patriarchal system that runs on hyper-productivity, hyper-linearity and hyper-rationality.
And yet the wild, intuitive, cyclical, earth-bound feminine lives in all of us and for many is the aspect we yearn to let free, run wild and embody.
It is our birthright to be fully, sensually alive, to freely express our sexuality, to honour our inner rhythms and cycles, to nourish and support ourselves in balance with nature and to embrace and express our innate gifts and passions.
But instead, this system thrives on keeping us disembodied and stuck in our heads; it shames or exploits our bodies and sexuality, forces us to override our bodily wisdom and rhythms, and to forget our connection with the natural world, all while draining our innate creativity and life force in exhausting jobs or career climbs.
And that’s to say nothing of the worst ends of this system, of those caught in wars, in forced or unpaid labour or displacement, experiencing intersecting oppressions or crises.
The feminine is rising, and it is doing so to balance and rail in this toxic system. The feminine is rising, and it is doing so to remind us of our true natures. The feminine is rising – to bring us home. To her, to ourSelves, to each other and to our planet.
The more of us who heed her call, the more of us claim our part in weaving a better world. Where we are all, beyond gender, beyond class, or societal constructs, free to be fully embodied and alive, celebrated in our fullest expression and truest Selves.
Wild Soul Somatics is my thread in that collective weaving; it’s an honour to share it with you.
