A Life of Exploration, Growth, and Healing

I’ve always been drawn to understanding what makes us who we are—how we adapt, grow, and heal. My path has been anything but conventional, but every step has deepened my understanding of resilience, transformation, and the power of lived experience.

My first career was in engineering where I was most known for fresh perspectives, insights, creative ideas, and inventions. But over time, I realised my real passion wasn’t working with machines—it was working with people. In 2016, I shifted my focus to healing, initially through intuitive bodywork and massage for emotional regulation. That’s where I made a crucial discovery: anxiety wasn’t just a surface issue—it was deeply connected to early trauma, stored in the body.

This insight led me to specialise in somatic trauma therapy, exploring how emotions move through us and how healing happens not just through insight, but through experience.

A Deeply Experiential Approach

Healing isn’t just about talking—it’s about feeling. Trauma lives in the body, and my work is about helping you process it in a way that feels safe, supported, and deeply personal. Through somatic therapy, clinical hypnotherapy, and guided experiential techniques, I help clients move beyond old survival patterns and into a place of greater ease, self-trust, and emotional vitality.

Hypnotic states and altered states of consciousness—similar to those in psychedelic therapy—can create profound shifts, allowing clients to process difficult experiences without feeling overwhelmed. My approach is intuitive, creative, and grounded in both research and lived experience.

Blending Intuition, Experience, and Formal Training

I hold a Bachelor of Applied Counselling and I’m working towards full registration with the New Zealand Association of Counsellors (NZAC). Alongside my formal qualifications, I bring years of hands-on experience in somatic trauma work, intuitive bodywork, and experiential healing.

Whether you are looking for relief from anxiety, freedom from past wounds, or a deeper understanding of yourself, I offer a therapeutic space that is collaborative, non-judgmental, and designed to meet you exactly where you are. Healing is not about fixing what’s “broken”—it’s about reclaiming your own power, wisdom, and capacity to thrive.
