Holding space for healing has always been more than a profession for me—it is a calling that stems from a deeply rooted sense of purpose. My journey into holistic wellbeing has been shaped by personal experiences, professional training, and a steadfast belief in the transformative power of reconnecting with the wisdom inherent in our bodies, minds, and hearts.
Having worked in health and care settings, including with the NHS as a Health and Wellbeing Coach, I have witnessed the resilience and potential within each individual. However, I also felt the constraints of conventional healthcare systems, which often emphasized symptom management over holistic healing. This realization inspired me to step into a path where I could serve people in a way aligned with my values—emphasizing connection, intuition, and sovereignty.
My approach as a wellbeing somatic coach and therapist combines a rich tapestry of modalities, including:
- Systemic Transpersonal Counselling, emphasizing transgenerational healing and family constellations to address the ancestral influences on personal patterns.
- Somatic Therapy, informed by trauma-release techniques, nervous system regulation, and polyvagal theory, to support clients in accessing their body’s wisdom and overcoming challenges rooted in the body-mind connection.
- Creative Arts Therapies, drawing on expressive mediums like movement, art, and music to foster emotional release and self-discovery.
- Energy Work, including Reiki and Ayurvedic principles, to bring balance to the whole self.
Growing up in a family with Italian and Slovenian roots, where community and care were central, I developed an intrinsic understanding of the interdependence between individual and collective wellbeing. Living abroad during my teenage years and overcoming significant personal challenges introduced me to the healing potential of self-awareness. My journey deepened through years of study and training, including Yoga, Systemic Transpersonal Counselling, Somatic Healing, Art Therapies, Wellbeing Coaching, and an ongoing facilitator certification in Family Constellations. These experiences have shaped my holistic, integrative approach to therapy.
I believe in the innate authority each individual holds within themselves. My role is not to “fix” but to guide clients toward rediscovering their inner balance, cultivating tools for self-empowerment, and fostering harmony in their relationships with themselves and others.
In both one-on-one and group settings, I create supportive spaces where constructive change can occur. I strive to meet each client’s unique needs and help them build resilience, coherence, and clarity.
My vision aligns with the idea that healing is not a lifelong dependency on external help but a process of reclaiming one’s autonomy and strength. As my tutor once said, therapy is like a train that helps people journey from one place to another—until they are ready to walk on their own two feet again.
I am deeply committed to continuing my work as a Wellbeing Somatic Coach and Therapist, offering my skills, compassion, and presence to those seeking deeper connection and healing. I am excited about the opportunity to bring my diverse training and passion for holistic wellbeing to your organization and contribute meaningfully to the community you serve.
