FOR MOVERS, SHAKERS & RISK TAKERS

THERAPY FOR WOMEN (& MEN) READY TO LIVE BIGGER

Together we’ll get you unstuck and moving forward

Life is precious. You want to seize it, shape it, create your dream.

Grab it with both hands and squeeze it for all it’s worth.
You want a life where your heart expands and your soul soars—full of joy, freedom, and real momentum.

You’re not reckless—you just refuse to settle.
People call you brave or crazy, but you know what’s really crazy?
Staying stuck. Feeling anxious, uninspired, or frozen in fear.

You just need the right kind of support to help you break through and fly.


A Warm Welcome!

SOMATIC IFS THERAPY

IFS is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps us understand and heal the different “parts” of ourselves. Instead of pushing away anxiety, shame, or self-sabotage, With Somatic Awareness, Conscious Breathing, Radical Resonance and Mindful Movement we meet these parts with compassion, uncover their protective role, and access the calm, confident Self that’s always within us. In therapy, this creates deep, lasting change—bringing more clarity, freedom, and ease into daily life.

You Need to Feel Safe in Your Nervous System to Receive more Money.
You Need to Feel Safe in Your Nervous System to Receive more Money.

We don’t just manifest from mindset—we manifest from our bodies. This piece explores how nervous system healing, EMDR, and somatic tools helped me feel safe enough to receive more money, joy, and stability—starting from the inside out.

Why Struggling Feels Safer than Manifesting Abundance.
Why Struggling Feels Safer than Manifesting Abundance.

Why does ease feel dangerous when we’re trying to manifest abundance? This deeply personal story explores how trauma and inherited survival patterns can block us from receiving—and how EMDR, nervous system work, and radical self-compassion can open the door to lasting change.

I Tried to Manifest My Dream Life—& Here’s What Finally Started to Work.
I Tried to Manifest My Dream Life—& Here’s What Finally Started to Work.

In my own work (and with clients), I use a mix of EMDR, IFS (parts work), and somatic tracking to work with these protective layers.

Once I notice a part—say, the one that wants me to stay small—I start relating to it:
- What does it fear would happen if I changed?
- What is it protecting me from?
- What did it need, back then, that it didn’t get?

Often, these parts are holding buried emotions like rage, grief, or fear. They’re not trying to block us. They’re trying to keep us safe.

Sometimes I dialogue with them. Sometimes I just sit with them. I let them express. I tap (left–right–left–right, like in EMDR). I remind them that now is different. That we are safe.

This isn’t about pushing through.
It’s about integration.

8 Radical Tips to Save your Relationship or Help you Find (& Keep) your Soul Mate.

Relationship questions are never black and white. Any security derived from judging the other quickly is an illusion to avoid normal feelings of insecurity when getting closer to someone. And that insecurity will stick with you into the next and next relationship like a fly to a piece of shit.

7 Reasons why we Haven’t found Real-Ass, Committed, Healthy Love.

But when a date or a relationship goes wrong, we don’t dare ask for feedback. If our date tells us they don’t want to continue seeing us, our inner critic attacks us like a wrinkly-headed vulture about to gobble up a tasty dead lion. “It’s because you’re too fat, too ugly, too unlovable, because they spotted that there is something truly wrong with you”. How is it that we rarely challenge this vulture by finding out why they don’t want to see us anymore? More than likely it is because of them rather than us. A recent client of mine, after taking the risk of asking, found out it was because their date was looking for hook-ups and polyamory whilst they were looking for monogamy. 

Is The Cost of Therapy Worth It or Just a Rip Off?
Is The Cost of Therapy Worth It or Just a Rip Off?

When weighing up the cost of therapy, you may find your mouse hesitating to click on the ‘get in touch’ button. You start doing the mental maths of how much it’s going to add up to per month. Then you start thinking about the things you’ll have to go without. Or, you think about all the things you could buy with the money instead. You focus on the monetary cost of therapy and try to decide if it is good value. When making your decision, here are some additional points to consider:

Give me some nuggets of wisdom ASAP.” You’ve been there right? Maybe the scenario was a little different but feeling on the backfoot, like you don’t fit in and anxious are the same?I sure have. Or at least I did until these tips…

How to Save the Relationship - 3 Critical Changes to Make Before It's Too Late

The start of the relationship feels like a meeting of kindred spirits. The other person ticks many of the boxes that had been left unticked in the past. They “get” us. They share our values. They care. They understand our quirks. They even have similar quirks. We feel like best friends and lovers. They are interested in us as and not just as a sex object. But the sex is intense. A dream gets ignited. A hope of a happy future with this person is born.

Some clients arrive for their first therapy session skeptical, worried, or downright reluctant to talk about their childhoods.

I assure them I have no interest in getting them to do something they don’t want. Nevertheless, if they are willing, then I am curious—exploring their childhoods helps me to understand their concerns more fully.

From Stress-y to Sexy – The #1 Way to Bed Anxiety. Hint: It’s in your rhythm baby!

Our breathing changes as our thoughts, feelings and behaviour change.  As we become worried, excited, elated, depressed or aroused, our breathing becomes shorter, jerkier, longer, deeper, shallower or smoother. What if the reverse were true? What if our breathing could change our thoughts, feelings and behaviour? What if breathing the right way meant more personal excellence and less anxiety and anger?
