As a Chrysalis Effect practitioner, I combine my training as recovery specialist and wellbeing coach to support you as you complete the online Recovery Programme. I love working on a one-to-one basis with people and I’m highly attuned to the feelings and emotions of others. By picking up on the finer details, this helps me identify how to support you and offer the most effective options to best meet your needs. Those needs may be awareness or clarity, helping you learn and keeping you on track, or perhaps challenging your thinking and pointing out if I think you may be blocking your progress back to positive health and wellbeing.

Somatic Trauma Therapy is a gentle way of working to release emotional and physical symptoms of trauma held within the physical body.  It brings awareness to the body by identifying and observing physical sensations within, helps the nervous system to regulate, and allows for the source of the trauma to be processed in a manageable way.

Previously, I always tried to fit too much into life, never taken time to properly relax, always said yes and never said no, and buried my emotions because it was easier to do that than to feel them. This led to depression, physical pain, not listening to what my body was trying to say, and feeling disconnected from everyone and everything.

Learning Reiki back in 2009 helped me realise the huge benefits of deep relaxation, including the meditative and mindful self-care practices that I learned. I am now a registered Reiki teacher and practitioner and have both experienced for myself and see with clients how Reiki can help relieve pain and grief, bring calm to the mind and emotions, and reconnect the mind with the body (and the soul) bringing inner peace and contentment.

I can work with you online or face to face from my peaceful clinic based in Dunfermline, Fife, and offer a free 30-minute online health review so we can virtually meet and help you to decide if I am the right person to work with you.

In Japanese, yasashii means kind, gentle and I aim to treat you with kindness and gently support you as you learn and heal.
