Offerings
SOMATIC THERAPY:
​
1:1 Sessions in a talk therapeutic format that supports clients in becoming deeply attuned, resourced and self-led. Sessions focus on gently unwinding learned patterns that no longer serve, safely meeting unprocessed emotions, and alchemise what has been held in the body, heart and mind in order to start living from alignment rather than survival.
​
Through somatic practices, emotional processing, and parts-based exploration, clients develop the capacity to meet themselves with clarity, compassion and trust.
​
Sessions available in person in Northcote, Melbourne and online.
(English and Swedish)​
​
​
SOMATIC BODY AND ENERGY WORK:
Less talking more receiving.
​
In depth body and energy sessions focusing on the felt sense and subtle energy flow of your body. Working from the massage table you receive deeply healing, trauma informed restorative touch and energy medicine. Combining Neuroaffective Touch, somatic body work, reiki and shamanic energy medicine. We work beyond the intellect, addressing the body's need for safety, filling in missing experiences, clearing energetic blockages, and restoring natural balance and wellbeing. This is healing from the ground up, incorporating all levels of your being.
​
Each session is uniquely tailored to your individual needs and intentions and finishes with a nourishing sound bath to gently integrate, balance and restore.
​
In person only.
​
​
SOMATIC SOUND BATH AND BREATH WORK:
Intimate somatic group sound bath sessions that incorporate breath work, sound healing and somatic journeying. Each session centers around a different theme and guides participants on a meditative somatic exploration of breath, body and mind aimed to promote embodiment, self-exploration and healing. This is much more than a sound bath - this is deep therapeutic work in a supported container.
In person only.
Limited spots per session so pre-booking is essential.

what is parts work?
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEM THERAPY
"IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. We believe the mind is naturally multiple and that is a good thing. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
IFS is frequently used as an evidence-based psychotherapy, helping people heal by accessing and healing their protective and wounded inner parts. IFS creates inner and outer connectedness by helping people first access their Self and, from that core, come to understand and heal their parts.
But IFS is much more than a non-pathologizing evidence-based psychotherapy to be used in a clinical setting. It is also a way of understanding personal and intimate relationships and stepping into life with the 8 Cs: confidence, calm, compassion, courage, creativity, clarity, curiosity, and connectedness. Professionals from many different backgrounds such as, but not limited to, body workers, legal mediation, school administration, life coaches, and religious leaders may utilize IFS to inform and guide their work. Our growing list of educational programs aims to serve not only therapists but the wider public and other professions."
​
- THE IFS INSTITUTE
"Somatic IFS introduces a new therapeutic modality that blends principles of somatic therapy–like movement, touch, and breathwork–with the traditional tools of the Internal Family Systems framework.
​
Within the IFS framework, clients will learn to identify their “inner worlds”–the discrete subpersonalities within each of us that hold emotions, perceptions, and belief systems, and that affect our behavior and emotional wellness. Body-based somatic tools are incorporated into therapy as patients learn to recognize different facets of their internal family and reconcile the needs of subpersonalities–like their inner child or internal manager–to bring more harmony to their physical and emotional well-being.
​
Clinical applications include the treatment of depression, trauma, anxiety, eating disorders, chronic illness, and attachment disorders."
