What is Somatic OT and Body‑Oriented Coaching?
Somatic Occupational Therapy bridges the gap between how you feel and how you function. It is a gentle, evidence-informed approach that helps your nervous system stand down from survival mode, so you have the capacity to handle your daily life again.
While talk therapy works with the mind, we work with the body and the environment. Together, we listen to your body’s signals, untangle the patterns that keep you over-functioning, and build practical strategies that support you.
The Hook
“You look ‘together’ from the outside, but inside you feel numb, exhausted, and one request away from snapping.
You can’t think your way out of this because your body is stuck in a long-term survival loop (a state known as ‘functional freeze’).”

Why Somatic OT?
My practice is born from my own journey from Trauma Survivor to Mindful Creator. I bridge the gap between deep trauma processing and the reality of your daily routine. I offer a space of Compassionate Witnessing combined with practical tools to rewire your nervous system. I help you move from simply surviving your life to consciously creating a life of meaning, safety, and flow.
Credentials Block (USP)
Combining 14 years as an Occupational Therapist with Body-Oriented Coaching, I bridge clinical trauma work with functional, real-world restoration
Who This Is For
You might recognise yourself in some of this
Can you relate?
Exhausted, anxious, overwhelmed, often overthinking and “stuck in your head
Grieving losses, carrying old hurts, or feeling numb, empty or disconnected from your body and emotions.
Living with chronic pain or illness, or a nervous system that never fully stands down.
Feeling “not enough”, battling low self‑worth or negative body image, even while holding everything together for others.
If that sounds familiar, there is nothing wrong with you; your body is showing the cost of carrying too much for too long.
THE CORE OFFER

A 3-phase nervous system restoration programme designed to help you rebuild your internal capacity and create a sustainable life.

ROOTING & INTEGRATION

The Outcomes
What our work can help with over time, clients often describe:
Feeling more present and less hijacked by stress and overthinking. A kinder inner voice, less self‑criticism, and more room for rest and pleasure. Better connection with their own needs, limits and desires and more confidence to honour them.
Living with chronic symptoms or pain in a more resourced, less lonely way.
A return of creativity and playfulness writing, making, music, ideas as the nervous system slowly comes out of constant survival mode. The destination is not a perfect, always‑calm life. It is a steadier nervous system, a softer relationship with yourself, and a life that feels more like yours from the inside.
