Honouring your story, your body, and your ancestral wisdom.

I support people of colour who are:

  • Navigating trauma (intergenerational, racial, childhood, or sexual)

  • Struggling with identity, shame, or cultural disconnection

  • Healing from burnout, anxiety, depression, or overwhelm

  • Highly sensitive and exhausted by systems not designed for your nervous system

  • Seeking to reconnect with your body, breath, and emotions after disconnection

  • Wanting to explore ancestral healing, movement, or sensuality as part of your journey

  • Longing for a space that centres your lived experience and honours your roots

Trauma Lives in the Body

Our bodies carry more than just our personal experiences—they hold the stories, grief, and resilience of those who came before us.

Trauma can show up in so many ways: irregular breathing or a tight throat, digestive distress, anxiety, flashbacks, insomnia, heart palpitations, clenched muscles, numbness, chronic tension, or persistent pain.

Your body also holds wisdom—and your healing begins there.

I work at the meeting place of trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and embodied ancestral healing to help you come home to yourself. Together, we gently explore the patterns that have kept you in survival mode, and begin to shape a life that supports who you truly are and how you want to move through the world.

My approach draws on:

  • Somatic therapy & nervous system care

  • Trauma-informed Yoga, Tantra, Movement, and Sound Healing

  • Indigenous models of wellbeing & pūrākau (story)

  • Talk therapy rooted in anti-oppressive, person-centred care
