I am committed to remembering the ways of the body. Untangling the knots of capitalism that tighten inside our soma, both collectively and individually.

I believe in rest and pleasure over productivity. I believe in innate worthiness, over ‘earning’ or ‘deserving’. I believe in listening and learning over extracting. I believe we already have the wisdom we need.

I am an abolitionist. This means I am learning to work in ways that look beneath the shiny monolith of the Mental Health Industrial Complex, to the mycelia of wisdom below.

I work collaboratively, in the understanding that healing means something different for every person. Each body holds the wisdom of its own wants and needs. 

Within my practice, I hold that our emotional lives are directly related to our broader social context. Our nervous systems have grown inside the structures of capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy and ableism. I mention this here, as therapy generally imagines that the individual can ‘heal’ alone and in spite of structural inequality. I wish instead to honour that this environment is toxic and injust. We need more than therapy to become truly well - we need structural change. But I believe somatic therapy can be part of this story, fostering more safety in the nervous system to increase our resilience and to expand our capacity for joy.

I welcome anyone to reach out for sessions with me. I currently work with a broad range of people and needs. A few of my specialisms include: chronic pain, autism, adhd, queer communities, climate/capitalism anxiety.
