Holistic Psychotherapy & Health Coaching
The body already knows what it needs, we just need to get better at listening
Feeling the need for change?
The mind/body system is doing its best to survive in a complicated, challenging world. I view messages from the body like anxiety and tension as opportunities to learn what really matters to us and what we really need in life. This leads us to more authentic living and greater resilience to stress.
The overall aim? Building trust in the mind/body system.
Once I landed on the most underestimated and overlooked aspect of our health (breath) and its ties to our autonomic nervous system (ANS), that I found a way to integrate the mind-body link into my therapeutic work. This quickly took over the whole of my work and I now offer a unique approach to physical & emotional health that puts the (ANS) at the centre of our work together, mirroring its central place in our bodies and our wellbeing.
Without autonomic health, we have no real health. The ANS is the home of our stress response and our breath function. When the ANS is healthy, so are you. This understanding has taken my own self care to a new level and I now work to help my clients experience the same.
Breath coaching, therapy or a combination – the end goal is the same. Greater physical & mental resilience

Frequently Asked Questions
I know someone who would really benefit from your services but they won’t ask for help. Can I book them in with you?
While I would love to help, it’s so important the person coming for coaching / therapy is ready for change. This needs to come from them and not be forced by a well-meaning friend / family member. This also is so I can align with privacy regulations and professional ethical codes.
