Talk to us about healing.

When I use the term ‘healing’ I don’t like the idea that if we need to heal, we must be broken. We’re never broken. We are humans navigating human experiences, which can be extremely challenging. I simply think that it brings you back into alignment. Often when we go through tough times and traumatic experiences, aspects of ourselves get lost or hidden. I believe when you heal you bring all parts of yourself back together. Creating this whole, complete and authentic version of yourself – flaws and all. I don’t call myself a healer because I believe we are all self healers, I just provide the space for you to deep dive into your self enquiry.

How are our bodies and minds connected?

In society, we have created this illusion that the mind and body are separate when they are not, so it’s important to focus on creating a space of safety physically and mentally. Our body is connected to our mind via small fascia that weave throughout our body. This fascia is connected to our nervous system, so when we feel our sympathetic nervous system (fight or flight mode) activated during times of stress, not only does the mind respond, but the body does too.

How often do you need counselling?

I tend to see my clients every week, that way they can go away to process the session and integrate it into their day-to-day lives while knowing they will be coming back to discuss any observations or challenges they may have encountered. In the beginning, when you are starting to delve into what’s going on under the surface it’s important to stick to it, the outcome can lead to incredible breakthroughs.

What are the benefits of holistic therapy?

After sessions, a lot of my clients tell me they feel ‘lighter’. I believe this is due to the fact they can release their emotions and thoughts that have been weighing heavy on their minds but also because energetically and physically we are releasing them as well.

I also think one of the main benefits of this type of therapy is that you can really start to build a deep level of trust in yourself. Trust that whatever is going on in your mind will pass and that you have the power and strength within yourself to deal with it, but also trust in your body. Trust and belief in your body allows you to live your life. The more you build that trust, the more you start to believe in yourself, allow your truest self to shine and create a life that feels authentic to you.
